Been looking a while and it reminds me of another bike...
Didn't Honda make a bike with a big fairing back in the 70's? CBX or something?
Not with two lamps but...
And ofcourse... the main thing is that YOU like it not the rest of us nutters...

My ol' CBX550F2's fairing offered plenty of protection... along with crap ground clearance and crap brakes.

I hate to admit it, but I can tell you that it is not an allegro,!
Looks like a vauxhall of some kind.
My old man only ever bought British leyland, so I grew up with.
Mini clubman
Austin 1100
Allegro
Maxi
Marina
Princess
Metro
But strangely never a rover SD1!

i can see an orange allegro, and a blue mk1 sierra, and a yella cavalier, just in front of the other two motors, proving even back then that yella was the fastest!!

Right left make your mind up!
But if it is right, that might explain it, as for some reason the RH edge of the photos on here never show, so I can only see to the letter N on the Honda faring

Sorry Alistair, but the orange one looks very much like an Allegro to me as well
Showing my age now

You should give the Opera browser a go. It has a "fit to width button" that is very useful for showing the complete photo
