    The BSA Goldstar was a production bike that captured the look ..

    See that looks great. Not my style but. . That said, after spending a couple of nights helping with Velos on the dyno I'm quite over it and am glad my 675 is very japanesesy.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Once upon a long time ago I'd have given my left nut for that. Strangely, although that is a thing of rare beauty, it causes not the slightest twitch in my nether regions now.

    They never featured on my radar, I only had eyes for this:
    DeMyer's Laws - an argument that consists primarily of rambling quotes isn't worth bothering with.

    I remember going into Bike Clinic and spotting a later 900 and thinking it was the shizel.

    Then I turned 20ish and my desire contained no pesky valves and cams.

    I think you can get little blue pills to sort that out

    I'd have Gold Star - but only really as an ornament .. maybe putter round on it occasionally - just look at the small single leading shoe front brake - the handling won't be that great by modern standards. I would not even try to put it against my 650Bandit ...

    Seen one of them being punted very rapidly around Wanneroo. Rob Henry, kiwi ex air force TZ and bucket racer, turned engineer, designed the suspension. The Alchemy main man hails from NZ as I understand as well. A relative of Rob's. Very cool bikes IMHO

    Brook Henry i understand while a kiwi is not related. Brook approached Ken who couldn't come up with a way of having a rising rate and keeping the wheelbase short passed him on to Rob.
    Hugh Anderson raced the origional canterlever RV1 which had the same bevel converted belt drive engine but in a far less pretty package and designed frame

    That Hugh gets around.

    Yip he represented England in MX as well pretty sure he did an ISDE too
    Won the NZ BOTT against all sort of modern (then) bike in the early 80's on a methanol burning Egli Vincent built by Ken.
    Suzuki chose him to launch the RGV250 in England too.
    i Posted some stuff on him ages ago.
