Like Motorbikes and Like Walnut?
They made the V Twin engine by grafting two 500cc Royal Enfield engines together. The seat is highly polished walnut. https://www.motorcyclecruiser.com/ha...enfield#page-8 If I was born rich, I would have this thing on display in one of the living rooms.

To hell with that! Brake hard sitting on a polished walnut seat, you're gonna slide and carry on sliding along the fuel tank until your nuts meet the filler cap

Absolutely beautifully crafted machine, although it runs 'n' rides I think first and foremost it's a talking piece more than a daily, you really have to admire the engineering that has gone into that, (biker or not).
For me ... I'd risk the certainty of 'manhood mutilation' and ride it as often as my pain threshold would allow. lol. |

Don't worry guys, the front brake doesn't look that powerful. Anyway, this bike is designed for Hard Nuts.

My double bike seat is so comfortable at the same price as a second hand car

Talking of cars, did you know that the 300C has powerfolds as standard?
With the mirror adjuster, at 6 o'clock it retract them. You probably know this but I didn't until I was adjusting my mirrors on the M4.

Yeah, its cool Bob. Like the mirrors slanting down when in reverse. I like the switch on traction control on the SRT for fast starts and bad weather
