This month Bike magazine features a Terreblanche concept design called the Supermono 699sc, amongst it's left field ideas is a telelever front end that the man himself advocates over conventional forks !!!

Does the link open for non "Pressreader" users, sorry if it doesn't ?

Good spot!

The most recent Honda Goldwing also has a telelever front end - it looks like a copy to me, but hey.
The difference is that one is good-looking, and the other is a Honda. Boom boom:






As an aside you can get Bike magazine free from many UK public libraries by using in the Libby app. You just need a library card, and that can often be arranged online too.

Sometimes there's a delay in the digital version appearing in Libby - like a day for MCN and a week for monthly mags, but that's about the only downside.

They are both built from the Hossack front end so I'd expect them to look almost the same.

Entirely fair enough not to sign up, but it's free with membership of your local library ( well Suffolk anyway ) and you can read hundreds of titles ( mags / newspapers ) on there. I read the paper daily and most of the bike press ---- just saying. ( I'm not advertising Pressreader btw )

Every day is a school day around here.

Did some homework (first time since 1964) and then joined the library (first time since 1958). Online of course...

Now happily reading all sorts of rubbish in the press and the comics via PressReader, so many thanks to Simon and Richard for the lessons...
