Interesting engine design. Between the cam covers and the single shaft from bottom end to top, it looks like a mix of a Panhead and a bevel-drive Ducati valve train. I think we can rule out any pushrods at that HP rating, unless it's huge.

Clearly inspired by the Hydra/DuoGlide lineage. Can't see the swingarm for the bags, but I'm sure we can assume there is one (only masochists build and ride rigids anymore).

My first bike was a Yamaha, BTW. Mr. Green

Gorgeous machine although there's lots to man-handle around in the garage with that one! I sat on one of those last year just out of curiosity at a local Yammy/Honda/Zuki dealer, the dealer model had a huge plush pleated seat that looked more at home behind a CEO's desk than on a bike. Was like throwing a leg over La-Z-Boy recliner, 1800cc's of quite huge air-cooled fuel-injected grunt....apparently what looks like chromed pushrod covers going up the center of each cylinder are functional, as the specs and review say it's a pushrod motor with 4 valves per cylinder. Wowsa.
