'Nice CBX, I would take one of those over any! '

It looks like new. Amazing condition.

Now CBX or Kawasaki ZRX1200R ? Ummmm

Where are the drips pans under the British bikes?

Hahaha.. they didn't call them 'Royal Oilfields' for nothing
Its that stupid vertically spilt crankcase. Almost impossible to make 100% oil tight.

I suspect that there is no engine oil in those bikes. No oil No leak.

my grandchildren just moved back into the area. now i will be able to actually spend time with them. i have a few antique trailbikes in the garage i have collected over the years. when my father was in business we sold this brand called a Gemini SST. it was from china...had a yamaha 50cc and 80cc engine. was feeling nostalgic after dad died and bought a few of them....this winter i will resurrect one for my grandson. got to get the boy growing up right...knowing the joy of 2 wheels....then i will get him into a plane. my daughter is going to hate me...lol

Excellent fun for a lad. Good for you Bobby.

No wonder that I consider today's bikes so effing ugly and boring....when you can have a timeless beauty like this!

Loving the Vincent, there's a OZ (or NZ if not either, then a UK) company called Irving something that make noew old Vincent/H.R.D. motors with some minor modernised internals - those Vincents sound really nice when I've heard one or two twins and Comet singles at the track (Mallory Snetterton, CRMC) in years past.
Like the Norton above too, though the new offical Nortan clubman/café-racer looks bloodie good too. Thouigh I'd still want a Kwacker 250 or 636 for everyday...

That Norton is a beast, I saw it see of the whole field of Ducatis and Aprillias in the wet at Croft Autodrome ridden by the builder Roy Thersby (the guy who made the video). I didnt know it at the time but I used to deliver news papers to Ken Redferns house and used to have a beer with the guy who was on the back of his bike when he died, no one knows what happened one of Britains best riders just left the road and crashed on a perfectly sound motorbike on a dry road. Absolute tragedy.

Beautiful beasts, but obviously they havnt put the oil on yet coz none has come out.

What is the brake on the one on the left?

Bringing it up a few years, but...
Had a spin on one of these beauties the other day. Didn't get on really, despite it being one of my dream bikes. Hard, unforgiving and bloody uncomfortable for a lanky fella. But the noise it produced was unreal! I'm sure it'd be a little more fun on the track than our pot hole ridden, stupid car driver packed roads

It might not be pretty, but I can positively assure you, that this is not boring in any respect. An absolute beast of a bike, and a dream to ride. Naughty, grin inducing, manic fun! If only I had 10k spare...
