I remember when the first Indian Enfields appeared here, in some old shop/villa in Eden Terrace in the late '70's. After spending the '70's riding worn out British singles from the '50's, it was tempting to get a brand new one that hadn't been through 20 owners. But they were $3,000, a shit load of money back then for a slow old bike that needed a strip and rebuild before going on the road. You couldn't get go fast parts for them anyway, so just kept on riding my old BSA singles.
The Goldstar name was tacked on the B50, then on something else...Gilera? later on. I hate to think what will end up with the Goldstar badge - will they please just let the name alone.
