I think I could forgive it a little oil leak. Pretty bike, but a helluva lot of cash.

That's a nice looking bike fella. Like the alloy hugger on it. Just as an aside have you caught the show "cafe racer" on one of the satelite channels, some really nice bikes and interesting folk on there.

Sidestand's still too long, though, had one the same on an early Trident, (almost the same as a BSA Rocket three) and boy, you had to have long legs to reach it.

Most sidestands, if you ride away with it down, will flick up at the first LHander, but these, they launch you to the moon, like a pole vaulter.....

It's been reduced to a mere £29,995. Form an orderly queue!
