Why not. Looks fun. Though £3k is a bit steep for me. You could get a 250 brit bike for that....
Hmm I'm surprised they've allowed that front number plate, those fin style ones were stopped for elf & safety I thought
Yup, the requirement for the old "bacon slicer" front number plates was dropped in the early 70s...
Don't get it at all.
It's like trying to buy your way into an exclusive club.
If you want a classic, buy a classic.
. Just don't expect to set any modern records on it — with a maximum speed of 55, it's more suited for urban streets than wide-open road.
55 on urban streets!!! optomistic and illegal?
I would rather buy the classic than a look a like
I think the plate is for show..... howeverQuote:

It would be illegal on a new bike in this country. The requirement for a front plate was dropped in 1975 because of the risk to pedestrians but it was optional. A bike made after the 2001 change in registration plates (51 -) cannot carry a front number plate.
If you want to be really pedantic the plate is black and white which would be illegal on any bike made after 1 September 1974 and the writing is the wrong size and wrong font.
:P
I am sure you could pick a classic in fair condition for that kind of cash, a quick trawl of the sales websites can often reveal a few cheaply priced gems.
I would rather buy a real one than a remake.
I quite like it apart from the price tag 8-)
Well there is obviously a market for more recent retros – just look at the Triumph range on offer.
I’m sure the Bonnies will hit 55 mph if pushed hard. :D :P ;) ;D
I still have the front number plate from my Yamaha FS1E that I took off in 1975
If i were going to ride a 50 i'd have one! Don't know what the law is on 50cc geared bikes and 16 yolds, but if they can ride them... and happen to have 3 grand in the bank... i'm sure a lot would rather this than a bloody scooter! I know i would
Scooters are horrible
Think its really cool...not cool enough for me to spend £3000 on it though lol
Indicators and telescopic forks. Standard fit in 1920.
It's ok for someone who want's a classic looking bike without the oil leaks and points adjusting but it's not a lot of bike for the money.
WTF!!!! ::) anyone seen ma anus :o meana janus :-[
I think it's quite pretty and would wind up the purists a treat! ;)
