love the dinky cafe racer, would you ride it or stick it in your pocket till later? I could compile a very long wish list from the bikes in the pics, the rg500, the brough and the vincent/norton thing (sure I saw that at the girder fork show)

Great photos but.....
IMHO the Speed Twin in that solid red looks very cluncky - The 350 21's look much slicker in the Bluey/Grey
Now will this stir a debate

Not sure about riding it Buster, there'd be a large overlap between elbows & knees & you'd be steering with your knees & changing gear with your elbows. Better kept on the mantle piece Never liked the bathtub look Pete, and that colour is too old fashioned for me. I prefer the looks of that Tiger Cub, tried to go there with my 21 years back Yeah, wish I'd kept it, but don't think I could cope with constantly swapping from left to right gear/brake changes these days

I’ve had a fancy for a 550 four k for a while now the one at the show looked mint and I got excited as there is a ticket on it stating it’s for sale 🤔

No price on sale ticket, but phone number is legible (don't tell Helen!). Now how could you generate a bit of space.........

Should've known you'd have a go I would have Ian but when he told me he was asking £7,000 I thought better of it?

Believe the silencers are unobtainable,not sure if the 550 silencers are same as the 750 K7 which are like rocking horse poo too
