Your memory is working just fine......... yep, the X75 Hurricane. Badged as a Triumph Hurricane, it's engine was basically a BSA Rocket III engine (750cc, the original), with Craig Vetter styling, with those iconic pipes and tank n seat unit.
Worth a mint nowadays.... sigh...... Cool

(and this was my 750th post on MMM................)
