My dad recently bought one of these and happily potters around the Cheshire lanes on it. It shares garage room with a Velo 500 and a Ducati Monster, and probably racks up the most mileage, so it must be doing something right!

My dad has 60 years biking experience and usually knows a good'un when he sees it

I restored one back in the 90s, the engine was nice but the rest of it, including the electrics, was a bit cheap and nasty. Could never get the front brake to work well enough for me to feel safe.
