This would live in my den.
I remember going to a motorcycle shop on Long Island with my Dad in 1967 or 1968. He was picking up a new Triumph Bonniville 650. The shop sold Royal Enfield as well and I remember falling in love with one of these machines. A 1967 Royal Enfield Interceptor 750. The electrics suck, they vibrate like a clothes dryer, and aren't very fast, but man they look and sound great.

That's a classic, Ricci.

My younger brother got a early Harley when we were in High School (early 60's)
He took after the scrawny side of the family -- he was a distance runner and I was the football lineman and weighed twice what he did at the time.
He had the Harley for several months and never could get it to start. Finally one sunny afternoon he decided he'd had enough and if he couldn't get it to start he was selling it.
Worked for a while setting and checking everything and kicked it several time and nothing happened.
He backed off and glared at it for a few minutes, then decided it was time to quit fooling around and get it started.
He carefully placed the bike pedal on the kick starter, jumped up in the air and kicked it with every ounce he had.
It barked and started running like a champ.
He'd finally gotten that 74's attention and from then on no problems.
When he retired from teaching he did an "Iron Butt 1000", riding from Texas to Kentucky in under 24 hours.😵

Nice
Would make a great looking man cave toy
Around 1979 or so I was big it to trading guns, cars , pickup trucks ,parts just about anything to make a few dollars or just have something new to me .
Any way I ended up with a old triumph 750 In part of a package deal trade
It had been "customized" by bubby or spike into a chopper
Remember Clint Eastwood in "any which way but lose " the bike gang that was after him the bike would have fit perfectly as one of theirs classic iron cross mirrors sissy bar very long extended forks to name a few
I pushed that thing home as much as I rode it lucky i was young and in great shape now i would just leave in the ditch lol
I had a cousin who had to have it And I was glad to see him get it

A true motorcycle has the BMW emblem on it, like my 1976 R75/6 had. Stir, stir, stir....

That Bike has a Cult following amongst World Travelers. (Go to the web site Chaingang.com, look for yourself.) That engine won the Isle of Mann, that bike has won the Paris to Dakkar. What else you got? 🤔😂
