    That's good news! Competition makes the breed stronger.

    WOW, that's more pastiche than the Bonneville range!

    Nice looking bike - wonder when we'll see a twin along the lines of a late A65?

    Does it come with a kick start? It would be kinda cool if it did.

    I like it and if it comes in at half the price of a Bonny then I think it has lots of appeal - assuming the quality is half way decent.

    I'm sure you could go through the motions of kick starting it, then just before getting a heart attack you could press the starter button. :eek::D

    No need - just get your mate to give your right shin a sharp blow with a brass hammer and then smack you gently in the arch of the foot with a lead pipe. You may then continue on your merry way with a brave, cheery grin .......... and count the beats-per-lamp-post till you reach third gear and forget the pain. :blush::)

    See, that’s the authentic effect I’m after - just like the good old days.

    To be fair he did correct himself in the same breath and both bikes are made in India.
    Fat downpipe is probably a stainless over-pipe. It looks good to me and if they do a good looking Street Scrambler version i could well be up for one.

    Thanks for the video. Sharp looking bike! Love the old-school fender struts. I like that the ignition is up top. Always takes me two or three jabs to find the hole (there's a dirty joke there somewhere) on the Speedmaster.
    I wish them luck!

    Of this new Brit bike push I’m still in love w/the Commandos. Always wanted a Norton, esp a Manx.

    Unfortunately these new Commandos are going to fetch something like $28K.

    Of the BSA’s, I’m quite content for the moment w/my BSA No1 Mk 3 SMLE.

    Who was it who coined the moniker " Bits Scraps and Allsorts ?"
    Looks great!

    About 30 or so years ago I owned an old Parkes lady back tandem, the frame was made up of an assortment of varying diameter tubular steel, this was interesting and required seat stems of different diameters as a consequence.
    In fact I had to have a stoker stem fabricated as a one off somewhere in the Black Country.
    When I looked into it, it all came about because of a dire shortage of materials available to manufacturers post WW2, no surprises there then.
    No doubt this was also something BSA also had to work with and could be the reason they had various substitute terms of endearment for their brand name?
