I am not sure either. - It looks like a heavily customized Harley to me ...

 

[Nod]

I'd say it was something Japanese dressed like an old Indian.

I agree, something like a Kawasaki Vulcan.

Oh, ... thank you ... ---

Definitely not a Harley, I think others have hit the nail a Kawasaki but not Vulcan, a Drifter (Indian Tribute).

so why does it say ajs1 on the image?

Possibly because AJS and Matchless were at one time, one and the same company (AMC) and produced identical bikes with different names, later on they absorbed Norton when the company left the site at Woolwich.

 

[Nod]

And oddly, there's just been a segment on The Motorcycle Show about the current incarnation of AJS.

Is it just me who finds the presenter to be an utter pi**ock.. ?
I'd love the show if he wasn't in it.

Not just you. However, the sidekicks are worth watching and listening to, especially Allen Millyard.

Oh, absolutely, he knows more of interest about bikes than so many. Sam Lovegrove is also so interesting and watchable.

 

[Nod]

The assorted youtube videos of Millyard building the straight 6 Kawasaki from 3 fours is well worth seeking out and watching.

Let's all hope we can soon get out on the bikes with our mates, just like these two

 

[Nod]

I hope I can remember which lever does what!!! Glad I don't have to contend with an assortment of layouts like a suicide shifter and right foot gear changes!
