I just re read my first post and noticed that Jap got censored what's going on. The word started with Ja and ended with p.

Political incorrectness will not be tolerated on this forum!!!!!!!

Let's see.
Brit, yank, Aussie, Canuck, kraut, frog, dago, mex.
I reckon this is discrimination of an extraordinarily politically incorrect nature. I thought we were meant to hate everyone equally.

Jap is, or was, a major supplier of engines to many manufacturers. Read all about it here: http://www.500race.org/Marques/***.htm

Now it is censoring the URL to a fine and informative website. If you want to go there, then substitute a J, and an A, and a P, where the asterisks replaced them, but they must be upper case.

I think some kiddie got into the censorship jar.
That really is ridiculous. I realise that J A P is a derogatory acronym in the US but I was under the impression this was an international site. Come on @webmaster get real!

I think the problem is that some words can have multiple meanings, like hump, root, shag.

Just over $30000 Aussie dollars with the polished alloy that was over $1100. This is the base model the next one up has upside down forks and clip ons, then the next has more carbon fibre on it. Top of the range with all the extras is over $40000. Ross ordered it and payed a deposit about 18 months ago. Got stuffed around a fair bit and ended up taking longer to get here than they promised.

Spendy to be sure and the waiting is likely expected for a nearly "One-off" motorcycle!
Out of my range, but Still a BEAUTY!

It looks gorgeous. First thing I noticed was the forks. Much as I like one, I'd be waiting to see what Triumph comes out with later in the year.

Sounds like there is MORE to your story, Mate???

What a ridiculous insult to John Alfred Prestwich!!!
Me thinks this censorship is OVER THE TOP!
How about Nip?

You know the Cannibal Cop from New York can write about the most gruesome and horrible crap imaginable, BUT we are not allowed to write D-A-M-N or J-A-P!!!
WTF???

I hope so. There's more than just hints at a 1200cc (twin) Thruxton/Bonne with USD forks, Brembos and a 270 crank. Price would be around 30% or more below the Norton. That would get my motor running.
