Indian made Enfield would be my last choice ( but possible ) , its even makes a 'bitter' taste of original Enfield.
I am not in a hurry , but suprisely for you , nearly all the roads in Israel are motorways , and Israeli gentleman and gentlewoman in suvs has no respect for British classic holding the line .

Fun for me is finding a friend happy to join when I open the throttle a bit on exit from curve , things like that , nothing demanding.

I hope to invest about 6000£ , don't know yet how much is shipping from UK.

The BSA 650 is a very interesting choice for me , thank you , so how about maintenance and parts ?

Thank you , Dany

Thank you mini-me
I slowly doing my homework with your directions.

There is an AJS 18 1963 for sell in Israel , said after complete  fix session , looks good and price not bad .
On the articles , they keep saying that its heavy , well it is heavy for single.
But its about same weight as a twin , so the question is , is it lack of power ?
On the other hand it seems that it is easy to maintain.
So is it good for everyday usage ?
Is it fun to ride ?  ( I am not a supersport rider  :) ) what is the crushing speed ?

Thank you , Dany

Thank you people

For the cold shower :)
You are right , last time I owned a motorcycle was about 20 years ago.
It wasnt a British classic.

Now should I aim to London area ?
There is no preferred time in the year ?
Any specific model that is known to be reliable and has plenty parts ,
Of Triumph / Norton / BSA 500 to 750 cc ?

Thank you , Dany

Hello
I live in Israel and planing a trip to UK to buy british bike.
Ready for everyday use, probably 60s or 70s make.
Probably to buy from dealer because of shipping needed and shortage in time.

My questions :
Is there a considerable price drop during autumn? What dates?
Where are the places that have many dealers in one area?

Thank you
