That's a very cool machine, definately looks like something I would ride.
As for JAP they made bikes a very long time ago and even more common were their engines. Many old bikes back in the day used the JAP engine in their own frame.
I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.

I looked at the list of names they have to vote for, I picked one from the past that used to strike fear into enemies:
LONGBOW
Steelheart- '03 Speedmaster Black/Yellow
The Hayabusa Killa
16" Shorties/140 mains/Airbox drilled
Procom CDI

Very cool indeed!     Not enough to make me dip into the "Rebuild the Panhead" fund, but more than enough to start a new fund for that hottie! I went with Super Griffin for the name. PS: For those Triumph fans suffering from advanced Harley envy and looking to the Thunderbird for a champion, (don't add denial to injury); THIS is how you go head to head with Harley Davidson!

Yep! They were sort of the S&S of their day, weren't they?! 
And J.A.P. engines were also used in many a pre-war Morgan three-wheeler.
And BTW....yep, that IS a very nice lookin' bike there alright!
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)

The headlight looks a bit out of place; needs to be less-shiny. I proposed "Cardinal" that works on a few levels...(kinda).. Card- after the blokes who own the JAP name. Cardinal meaning 'of importance' and Cardinal Twin to sound like, well, you know!!!

The more I look at that bike the more I like it! I would definitely like to take a spin on one of those and even though it is a V-Twin I wouldn't mind having one sitting in my garage!
