The SuperDuke might have the correct number of cylinders, but they are obviously in the wrong orientation, they should be positioned like the CX500 and CX650 Honda's...and any other bikes that might just happen to use the same engine layout.

HAHA! Mike knows that he just posted a picture of my original street bike - the one I got when I was, ahem, 15y.o.
Yep, it was one of my favorites of all time - and it just happens to have an engine like a Guzzi (wonder why he posted that
)- but water-cooled and more advanced
Not that MG doesn't make a good "copy" of this Honda classic...

Yes, you did catch that eh? I was trying to be couth with all that.
Love it! But FYI, I think the Honda is a copy of the MG.
Groovy! Let's travel back to 1969 baby...ya.
Yes, the Honda CX500/650 version was more "advanced" or was it? Maybe it needed all the extras just to keep it cool (something like the Suzuki waterbuffalo).
