Seems to be some kind of twin cyl... the two-into-one pipes
are clearly visible, and I like the stylish fins on the muffler.
Unusual front disc brakes, with claw calipers. The footpegs are worthy
of Queen Boadicea, but I wonder why the crankcase is glowing red,
and does the white exhaust indicate a coolant leak into a cylinder?
I like the neutral seating position, and of course with metal riding
gear the rider is properly ATGATT.

I'd say it's a rather heavily modded  Triumph. That wavy disc brake fashion
has gone OTT if you ask me though. Judging by the rider's gear, he must be a
very safety-conscious fellow, what with the full armor and all.

It might well be IF Triumph ever produced a V twin, but as they don't and
haven't.

Aye, my bad. I just read the 2-cyl part in the post, had a quick glance at
the pic and only noticed the front one (and somehow assumed it was in-line
and I just couldn't see the second one - *that* was the stupid part) and
thought "this reminds me of something british I've seen before". I
discovered the second cylinder later and googled for images of Vincent,
Matchless and AJS to see if it was anything I knew, but I didn't recognise
it.

The engine is a stylized Vincent 1000 twin.
