I remember many moons ago approx 12 or so a bike manufacturer that made new bikes but made from old war time bike designs.

They were at the time approx £2,500 and up , they used to advertise all over MCN and the like just interested to see if they are still about .

That's why they all went bust. Because they didn't update. Pitty! Rolling Eyes

Not always. The very early ones were made in Reddich. They moved production of the single cylinder models out to India in the 50's sometime.

They haven't gone bust. I have an '07 one. The last batch of "proper" bullets to be imported into the UK with points and a carburettor before EU emissions laws made them have to fit fuel injection and redesign the whole engine. Still making them in India though, it's one hell of a production run.
