RUNS SWEET. SOUNDS DEEP AND HANDLES EXTREMELY WELL.

The mileage when purchased for the project was just over 23. 00 miles. The engine was stripped for paint. so everything was checked and anything worn was replaced. bearings. bushes. rings. gaskets etc by Paul Curtis of Laverda engine fame. This engine was kept standard internally and is now better than new. and after BSD Performance tuned and dyno'd the carb set up. she shows 96 bhp at the back wheel. This was not built for silly engine performance that ruins reliability. but for a modest increase in performance from free breathing carbs and exhaust. and the best handling/weight possible.

This bike is immaculate and has done less than 900 miles since the build. Tyres still like new. The test was the Mallory festival of 1000 bikes in 2013 after the run in period. She was much admired and ran perfect. Even Jamie Whitham and Niel Hodgson loved her. They signed the track photo for me.

CURRENTLY SORN BUT RUN AND MOVED EVERY FORTNIGHT - WILL TAX FOR 6 MONTHS FOR WINNER.

A VERY RELUCTANT SALE TO FUND NEW BUILD.
