Fuck you, Bud. Go ahead and ban me if you want to play power trip, again.

The original bike in this thread is not a movie prop. Whatever, you're an asshole, but that's not news to anyone.

It was also a prop for a movie, ya dickhead. :finger:

Where am I contradicting myself, Bud?

He was into performance bikes. Triumphs were performance bikes back in the day. These faux patina'd fake vintage bikes are fashion accessories.

I'm just saying that a lot of these bikes built with his name on them, or built as tributes to him, he would never ride.

http://gearpatrol.com/2012/09/20/drags-racing-la-grande-fuga-triumph-bonneville/ Here's a link with another picture. I see it's also sporting an uber-lame fake kickstarter:

I think that shift lever is connected to the shift shaft, but I don't see a clutch. It's just another fashion poseur bike built for a photo shoot. Steve McQueen would kick this bike off its kickstand.

Congrats!

Cool bike

Sounds right to me. The bloated tank definitely came with the last year or 2 of carb'd models.

True.

Damned expensive, I'll bet.

For some cost perspective, I bought a cherry used FZ1 that makes 140hp for about $4k. It also has better suspension and insanely good brakes. I'd love a 1087cc Bonnie but I just can't justify the cost.

It's not a "concept" frame, it's a factory Bonnie frame that they modified.
