Hilarious! ...but that bike will never live up to its late 60s
forebears. The legendary BSA/Triumph X75 Hurricane, a Rocket III
variant, may be the coolest looking British motorcycle ever built.
In comparison, the new Triumphs look more like rocks than rockets.

....and yes, with motorcycles, looks count!

The new one's will probably rust out a lot faster too as they're
probably not leaking oil all over everything like the old one's did.
