on this day in 1981. A star if there ever was one.

I just saw this on my yahoo feed and wondered what the Yam was that is in the picture.

Is that a two piece fairing like the Duke stradas?

I think the bike is an XS1100.
Or is it an XS750/850. I can see only three exhausts, is the 4th hidden by the fairing or is the hole in the bellypan really smaller on the nearside because of only having one pipe coming out?

Definitely an XS1100, with the John Mockett designed Martini fairing, possibly the ugliest add on ever.

Watched him race several times, a 'Masterclass' every one. Reportedly one of the great all-time shaggers too, spent more time at the 'Special Clinics' gettin' shot of doses. I suppose being a millionaire didn't hurt his chances of pulling the crumpet too much either on the other hand money can't buy riding talent whether it's bikes or women !.
