"So if you meet me, have some sympathy, have some courtesy, have some taste ..."
Yet another knob who doesn't understand the LAMS system.
Nortons styling always leaves me a little cold ESP the Commando (other than the Fastback)
That said all the brakes and the electrics are all able to be remedied with modern stuff from Todd Hemmings etc.
I have very found memories from the 90's of long rides on BSA unit and pre unit twins (just not at night)
The earlier ones have better brakes they changed from the opposed piston calipers with the 400's. To avoid paying Lookheed and or Girling a patent fee
Oh crikey. Just rode a GT750 for the first time since my Uni daze... I thought I remembered the starting, seating position, handling, turning circle, signals, brakes, ergonomics and performance were all so much better! and this is a good looking well maintained example.
I see a common denominator here; it's not the 70s' bikes, it's the 50s' me
Oh no. I'm not going there Tazz!
Good find BB.
Another person who struggles with the concept of what makes an old bike valuable.
1. Std condition to remind the old fart of how they were.
2. Iconic status; Game changer. Stunner. Evil. Quirky. Rare.
So it fails on every count. On top of being poxy
and poorly tuned (no air box will ensure that and I bet there's been no air corrector jets fitted).
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
