john robert bould said:Mike, I am on about the top section, the front down tubes, swing arm area look OK, Its the oil tank and upper rear that [for me] looks poor. Ok it's all hid under the tank/seat. The oil tank is very much like a vincent UFM. Boxing in a big tube with sheet steel is very "Home" made to me. But i do like Ducati's

Vertically split.Frame
- Frame: Steel tubular with integral oil tank
Power Assembly
- Engine type:
Parallel twin with push-rod valve actuation, dry sump, 3 bearing crank and balancer shaft.
