Re: Two wheels good.
If you like frunks, and really would love to have a bike with a frunk, the frunk on a bike that I can think of is an Aprilia Mana. That has a frunk, quite a big frunk. You can even put your helmet in that frunk.

Re: Two wheels good.
Indeed not as Eddie says. The airbox & carbs are under the fake tank on top of the Vee lump.
Which is why the ST1100 is the only carb bike I know that can't run without the fuel pump, as the carbs are higher than the tank.

Re: Two wheels good.
A portmanteau of fake tank may be fatank in the written word, with a bit of pronunciation jiggling, it has a nice sweary ring to it.
Ftank!
Ftank!

Re: Two wheels good.
Finished painting the house at fucking last, so thought I have a ride on the NC750 and go for lunch somewhere. So put my phone , keys and wallet in the fake tank and set off.
Battery flat, Mapit app says 4% left and that I haven't used it for 6 weeks.
No bother, I live half way up a long hill, I'll bumpstart it.
That was fun. Wouldn't bump start the first second or third attempt. Nor will it, as I remembered after the third attempt that it has a slipper clutch.
Had to push the fucker back up the hill home. Don't know why it has gone down to 4%, and getting to the battery is a faff I will leave until tomorrow.
Went out on the Himalayan instead of abandoning the "lunch out trip" and found a few tracks that I never knew about. And lunch in a cafe I have not used before.
