7R engine anyone? Only £6,950 !

Post by Rob Harknett »

Sports machines would change from as originaly supplied on day one of the sale.
I think like WD machines, sports machines are excepted as they end up at any stage in their life. I do not think owners would or perhaps should even claim them to be to original spec. Let alone to be of all original parts. Even a concours machine could not claim to be totaly original. So original should at least be, matching numbers & original major parts, parts replaced for repairs during its life of original spec excepted.Edited by - Rob Harknett on 17 Aug 2012 12:32:36 PM

Even some of roy's bikes could not claim to be original, the rust is more recent.

what is original.......never knew how they raced these biks in the 50ties and 60ties ?
engine 1674 is original with replica engine cases but the genuine cases are separete there
I also have a genuine 1960 2MTT and gearbox
so a new life will start in a nice Molnar 7R/G50 frame....a genuine frontwheel and gastank
but also a mix of replica

Why is racing a waste of time and money??????

Making up places to go on a boring road bike is I quote " A waste of time and money"
