Is it just me or does that engine look even more blocky and finless in those shots than other I have seen?



Nope! It must just be YOU, in THIS case, Ian! Because with the angle of the sun almost directly overhead casting a shadow down from that(okay, admittedly SOMEWHAT) "blocky"-looking cylinder head, AND with those cylinder barrels painted black as they are, FURTHER making it pretty darn hard to see what lies UNDER that cylinder head...well...NO, In THIS CASE I believe I HAVE SEEN some other and more clear pictures of this OTHERWISE sharp lookin' motorcycle which would show what you're talking about AND that COULD possibly prove your point here!

(and DON'T forget..THIS unbiased opinion comes to YOU courtesy of the ORIGINAL DUDE who MADE that "fin issue" a "Cause Celebre" around here to BEGIN with...So, I'm thinkin' that maybe you're NOW just TRYIN' to find fault with, as I said here, this OTHERWISE sharp lookin' motorcycle!!!)


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
