Hi All

Found this, shame, I quite like the look of it, shame they only do a 125 version...

I think the engine is a YBR clone.

Cheers

Tony

Hi , agree with you there ,like the look of it, nice retro styling, and just right for the rider who doesn't want a sports style bike Thumbs Up

That does actually look nicer than the 'cafe' offerings from Herald, Sinnis and Lexmoto, although I still think the Skyteam Ace knocks it out of the park.

Sure is a looker.. has anyone seen one in the flesh yet? I'm a fan of the the Skyteam Ace but find the AJS to be much more purposeful., its clearly bigger bike and to my eye better proportioned, 110 front and 130 rear mean it'll take some decent rubber as well.

For those wanting a bigger engine I read a 400cc Kawasaki engined version is on the horizon..

Note as far as the Ace goes there's a reasonably straight forward 250 engine conversion, which from what I've read punts the 90 odd kg bike along fairly well!

The handlebars look the same as those fitted to the AJS R7, I got one in last week with the left handlebar stem loose on yoke mounting, the right bar was broken just were the stem was pressed into the yoke mounting, the bike was not dropped and showed only 1.1k miles. Hope they have got the bars on this model sorted out.
