Advice on buying my first lightweight

[pto]

Apology if I upset anyone about 100yr old remark, everyone should ride what they like at a speed they are happy with, The Late CSR are a very underated bike, as are most of the AMC range, It amazes me how the equivalant model from BSA or Triumph seem to cost more, still it make it more affordable for those of us who appreciate the finer things!
