Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

It looks too thin plus is lower the whole seat lacks shape and looks like a plank of wood.
IMO the best looking Unit bonnies were around 1965.

A mate had a blue Daytonaish thing that looked a bit like that. It felt pretty cool and peppy around town. But you just knew that short rev range was going to mean on the open road it was going to be a slug. Bit like my TT500. Aweesoomee. No wait. It's not

Its like this with old bikes. If you want one and you can afford it you buy them. I like old bikes more than modern ones so each to their own. 12 k is on the money for that Triumph.

Pretty standard for the bike and its times - the throttle cable comes straight out the bottom of the throttle grip - and follows pretty much that path.
They were like that on all my BSAs and Triumphs .
Real bikes - none of your nice and neat jappers ..

Yes, this exactly! Something like a classic Bonneville or Commando probably offers little appeal to ummmm..... the younger generation. For the older generation (ancient in my case
), owning one would be principally about memories. A T21 then a Tiger 100 were my only means of transport in my UK varsity days in all weathers and the bike was reasonably reliable save for oil leaks. I guess my memories are a bit rose-tinted though but it's the only thing which would drive me to own another one. In reality, I'd sooner spend the dosh on something more modern and reliable. Something which just sits in the shed for most of the time doesn't appeal now. At best, I guess that I've only got 5-10 years left on 2 wheels so I'd prefer to be out and about as much as I can.

That's real purrty boy.
Pipes are comedy. So how far from the real wheel can you legally protrude? Youd have to watch driveways and judder bars like a hawk.
Do you drive nails into your hands to get the real Crucifixion experience? Heeyy Jesus comin thru,

Not sure exactly. You're allowed to carry stuff that hangs 500mm for and aft of the bike. But they are part of the bike.That's real purrty boy.
