Enough to make you cry.
Just bought engine from one that had been crashed, insurance write off. Another one less but at least I have future spares or another project bike.
The older 1st generation Hinkley engine has character.

They'd all had a deep clean, before these sell 'em pics. They were all snapped up within days. The Speedy was something of a "devil bike", as someone else has said. A bit of a "Christine" - a joy to ride but always getting into scrapes and trying to hurt people. Hope the new owner (in York) is ok.

Seriously....I've always hated sportbikes and the like, naked or not. Those exo skeletons....could never stand that look. Too modern and ugly to my eye. But i do confess to feeling like i could see myself with a ST as a second bike. Like a little swiss army knife that few other vehicles on the street could keep up with on the straights or twisties. But i can't have a second bike so there goes that idea. Something about them tho....

Stick the daytona engine in the street triple and it will beat the speed triple anywhere
