[BanannaMan]

A new one of them is a project, innit? ;)

Fratricide is stooping a bit low even for a .orger ;)

Don't think they want to play. You do it.

[andrewsmith]

I think Mavi is away working, give him a few days

[TheRuffellator]

One to tie us over till he returns? :D apologies if I'm breaking the rules or anything, and for the poor picture quality I had to crop the image a bit...

Vincent Comet

[andrewsmith]

Vincent Comet

Yep, that didn't take that long!

https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/r90/1014148_775876482918_593563795_n.jpg


Mavi, your turn this time

[maviczap]

Kinda easy mate, I could read Vincent on the engine cap!

Here's one from me

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7446/9392105566_cde3b157bc_o.jpg

[Matt-EUC]

Ducati??

[maviczap]

Nope

[Matt-EUC]

All I can see is that it's an IL4. Which makes me feel silly for suggesting it was a ducati.

[Matt-EUC]

Is that the tip of a white wing I can see on the tank? Is it a honda?

[maviczap]

Was it a little too early for you ;)

Is that the tip of a white wing I can see on the tank? Is it a honda?

Nope

[Matt-EUC]

Yamaha. Suzuki. Triumph. BSA. Ajs. Bimota. Any?

[maviczap]

Nope

[Matt-EUC]

That certainly shortens the list. Is it european?

[maviczap]

Yes

[Matt-EUC]

Is it Italian?

[maviczap]

nope

[Matt-EUC]

It doesn't look German. French?

[maviczap]

Nope not French

[Matt-EUC]

Hmm.

[Shawthing]

Munch Mammut TTS

[maviczap]

Yup that's it

http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5347/9393092994_71d96b1480_o.jpg

[Matt-EUC]

Never even heard of it.

[maviczap]

You're obviously a young'un then ;)

Always a good card on Top Trumps

[Matt-EUC]

Only 21.

[Matt-EUC]

And I'm sh!t at top trumps.

[garynortheast]

That's not a Comet I'm afraid. I think its a Black Shadow. Comet was a 500cc Single, bike in the pic is a 1000cc V-twin.
Yep, that didn't take that long!

[jambo]

That's not a Comet I'm afraid. I think its a Black Shadow. Comet was a 500cc Single, bike in the pic is a 1000cc V-twin.
I'd suggest a Vincent Rapide.

But we're way outside the temporal flow of the thread :D

Waiting on a pearl from Shawthing...

[Shawthing]

Here you go:

http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums/m617/shawthing3/Bike2_zpsf9341616.jpg

[squirrel_hunter]

Vyrus 987

[squirrel_hunter]

Having said that it might actually be the 985.

Or the 984, or even the 986. If I'm honest I cant tell the exact model from that. I just know the swing arm is a thing of beauty.

[Shawthing]

Yep. Vyrus 985 C3 4V.

http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums/m617/shawthing3/Bike1_zps399b2178.jpg?t=1375117501

[squirrel_hunter]

Nope.

[Matt-EUC]

Rc45?

[andrewsmith]

Bimota YB4

[squirrel_hunter]

That's a no and a no.

[BanannaMan]

Derbi GPR

[squirrel_hunter]

Nice one BanannaMan.

http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s216/squirrel_hunters_photos/Bike%20Quiz/BikeQuizAnswer11_zpsedbb47b0.jpg

The Derbi GPR50 although they did an 80 I don't think there are any differences in that pic. A kid at my college had one when I had my scooter. Didn't know they made 50cc bikes back then or I would have had one. Out of interest do you have them on your side of the pond?

[BanannaMan]

Yes we do have Derbi's in the US.
The GPR was the pitbike of choice for US superbike racers in the early 2000's.
Except for Honda riders who had to ride the ruckus. LOL


Here's the next one then.

http://i1055.photobucket.com/albums/s507/thebanannaman/c8b01b67-0103-44d6-aa96-233ebd1442cd_zpsd22e4b88.jpg

[Ratty]

BSA A10 or B31 Plunger ?

[BanannaMan]

No

[Shawthing]

Ariel VB or Red Hunter?

[BanannaMan]

Ariel VB or Red Hunter?

Correct!
Is a 1952 Arial Red Hunter 350.

Datyona 675

[squirrel_hunter]

Datyona 675

I can't see the picture at work but just to mess with you 675R?

Am I right, am I?

[Shawthing]

Wrong and Wronger.

[andrewsmith]

125cc?
European

[squirrel_hunter]

675R? What was I thinking.

Always helps to see the picture...

Its a Megelli Sport 125R or 250R can't tell the cc from the picture.

[Shawthing]

Its a Megelli Sport 125R or 250R can't tell the cc from the picture.


Oh so close. You're nearly there. Think badge engineered eastern cousin.

[squirrel_hunter]

Don't know then. Reading up on the company as I didn't know much about them they are UK designed and built in China. Depending on the country the bikes sold in apparently it might be called a Daiichi Megelli or Minerva Megelli or Bennche Megelli so any of them? Other than that apparently its got a SYM engine in there not sure if they sell the bike?

[Bibio]

thats one sexy 250

[BanannaMan]

Sick looking swingarm. I love it!

[garynortheast]

MZ? Just a stab in the dark really....

[Matt-EUC]

Nah mate its an s1000rr

[Shawthing]

Been doing some comparisons. It looks exactly the same at the back , so I give it to S-Hunter.
I believe they put a black screen on this chinese manuf bike and rebadged it.
I give you the M1NSK R250. 'created in cooperation with British partners' it says on thier website, whatever that means!

http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums/m617/shawthing3/bike4_zps3952ae46.jpg

[squirrel_hunter]

Not heard of the M1NSK R250 but I think "created in cooperation with British partners" is the same as how Megelli describe their operation. Its a cracking looking bike but not sure on it quality due to the manufacturing process. However I think that was said about the Japanese bikes at an early point. But the other thing I dont understand is the rebadging of a bike much like a car where two manufacturers sell the same thing under different names?

Anyway, back to the quiz:
