Would ride.

Buy it while you can - in 7 months time, that will have to come with ABS, then fuel injection for Euro 4, and anti-tamper fasteners and Nanny chips to stop A2 licensees (nobody laugh) increasing the power past 35kW.

Although selling it as Tef's KITT OF PARTES might be their way round that.

Do they come with a cork crash helmet, goggles and leather gauntlets? Anything else would look daft.

I saw something similar, but obviously of the original era, not long ago when the Banbury bike festival thing was on. I struggled to resolve the juxtaposition of 1920s motorcycle with the TomTom Rider satnav on the bars. I'd imagine seeing someone with a full-face Arai and one-piece leathers would cause a similar neurological response.

Seems quite expensive for a heavy pushbike though.

Splendid gentleman's conveyance

Would buy if had monies. Would want to shoehorn a sillier engine in there.

[Andy_Pagin]

That is utterly beautiful, and for once not stupidly over-priced.

£6565 plus delivery, and whatever HMRC and DVLA stick you up for isn't exactly giving away a cheap Chinese 125 engine in a package that may be designed for aesthetics rather than dynamics.

Do want though.

Bloody revolting, you're all barking mad.... They took the term 'retro' too far in this case.

I was thinking more 'bloke in a shed' kinda thing - bet there are loads of people that'd happily take £3k to build something like that in their shed (assuming £1k in metal and parts).

[blurredman]

I always wondered what kind of effect the wrists had being in that position.. ?

Engine is fugly. Gearshift is on the wrong side.

For the same money or less you could have something authentic and worth owning that costs piss all to insure, requires no tax or MOT, will increase in value if looked after and is in all likleyhood, less likely to break down.

A quick look on ebay reveals this 1932 coventry eagle If you insist on a biscuit-tin tank.

And this 1930 Aeirial Model F If it's more about the rigid single.
