Three New 1500cc Designs Proposed by Someone...

I was able to ascertain three design scenarios for the new mythical 1500cc mythical beast collection. I know this has been a topic of great debate and discussion. I have it on a not so high authority that this is an almost maybe possibly considered but not quite design. It may or may not come out some time in the near or not so near future, but it is or may not be considered to be a definite I don't know. The interest is somewhere, but I am not sure at this time where. I hope this clears up any confusion, but if it does not please read this again for clarity. Thank you.

Other Motorcycle: one is enough but I'd lov
Extra Motorcycle: nah
wow

well done Lee! (very clever)
..but would that 6cyl not be a 4.6l engine (2 R3 motors)
And I love the double twin at the top!! Cooling the rear cyls might be a problem, like the old Ariel sq4.

After seeing how big that 1700cc twin looks I think I have gone off the idea of the mythical 1500cc Triple Thunderbird. I think 1200cc would be probably better, I wouldn't want to pack all that weight onto a good handling bike than the present but no longer made 900cc is.

I think a lot of the Bonnie crowd may have the same view.

Ride on !
