That Norton is awesome, except that beyond awful Batmobile tail section. Holy crap! Someone was really proud of that, you can be sure.

That tail section was a design that Dunstall originated (Kuhn used something similar iirc). What you can't tell by the picture is that all the bodywork was done in carbon fiber and was really well done. The pipes were from a 69 "S" and the setup looks great with the full cafe treatment.

Never thought of 60s-70s Britbikes as "modern". Classic, yes. Modern? Well I guess. Relatively speaking.
To my way of thinking, THIS is a Modern Classic:  Water cooled, gas shock, 'lectric start, fairing.... 20+ years old. BTW- LOVE those Commando "S" high pipes.
