87 885cc Harris-Ducati
This hybrid is a blend of English ingenuity and Italian passion, with a heavily modified '82 Darmah bevel-drive motor feeding its power through the Steve Wynn-designed Harris nickel-plated  chassis.

"These slender bikes have a 650cc Rotax 4 valve single in them. It's the same motor used in the BMW F650GS, hence the official Bimota model nomenclature of "BB1" (Bimota-BMW, 1st Series). About 375 were ever built."

Thanks for the info on the BB1 guys.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Raux

Absolutely agree. There's nothing on that SS I'd change. IMO it's the perfect balance of cafe racer aesthetic and modern(ish) tech.
