aka Water Buffalo if I’m not mistaken. Water cooling has certainly done a lot better on motorcycles than automatic transmissions. But Honda seems convinced DCT will bring in new riders.

I'll play with some of the ones I've owned over the years.
My first large displacement bike, a 1968 Norton 750 Fastback which I owned in High School.
Mine had a circular Norton Villiers badge on the tank instead of the large Norton decal and wasn't nearly in this nice of shape.
It threw a rod through the crankcase about 1000 miles from home which was heartbreaking for a teen-aged kid.

I should back up a little bit.
Here's what I got my license on, a Triumph T25 (250cc).
I got my permit in November so it was bundle up and go for a ride.
The laws were really strange, you had to have another person with you who had a valid motorcycle license. My grandfather always renewed his motorcycle license from the days when he had a Triumph so he'd be in his car and I'd be out there with multiple layers of warm clothing on this little thumper.
Mine was more of a maroon and had a grill-style heat shield instead of this one solid piece.
Fun when it was running!
Sold that and bought the Norton Fastback.

After the Fastback blew up, I traded that in on a 1973 Norton 850 Commando Roadster.
Pictured here is a 74 which has a seat with more padding and wasn't as fast as the 73s.
I eventually put Dunstall Decibel "Silencers" on it and boy, were my neighbors glad when I finally moved!
They sounded great.

I've repainted a set of those Commando side pieces in that exact color scheme. Was for the cheapskate friend of a customer at work, but carried good favor for with that customer so it was all good. Gorgeous bikes.

Yeah, the old Snortin' Nortons.
Then came a BMW R100/7 with an R90/S fairing.
That was a great bike, nothing EVER went wrong on it and it was totally non-fatiguing to ride.

After that came a Ducati 900 GTS which made all the right noises with the bevel drive and the LaFranconis

And a BSA B50SS which was so much fun to ride but was a nightmare to start when hot.

And then many years of Moto Guzzi, I'll just do a couple as there were quite a few.

1993 Daytona Duo Posto and that was the last Guzzi I bought.
I put over 250,000 miles on Guzzis over the years, they're fun bikes.

There was a little Ducati 250 Scrambler thrown into the mix.
Boy, that thing was loud and angry sounding!

All nice bikes.
Guzzis have much better cooling than Harley, Indian and Victory.
On Nortons there was a modern Commando 961cc tuned to cafe racer, £12,000
