« on: March 09, 2021, 08:57:32 AM »Hello, I'm Norbert from Hungary and I'm looking for an british twin from 1955-1965. Could you help me? I would like expert opinion about available motorcycles.
I found an G9 in Austria, approx 6000 pound, but the silencers and mudguards are not correct to this bike, and several other difference.
It is an correct offer? Are these parts built for later or different model? Silencers are BSA for example.
Thanks a lot
I got pictures of the previous condition.
Frame number is A24795, enginenumber is 55/G9 23921. What do they say?
He said of the "renovation":Engine was running so we only sealed it - so it is possible but ist was not dismantled totally. Same to the burman gearbox. Maybe the clutch must be exchanged in some time.

I'm primarily looking for BSA,AJS Matchless types, in 500ccm pre unit contsruct, with full size front brakes and swinging arm rear. I read, 500ccm is a good size, in 650ccm the vibration is too high, and the crankshaft can break (but in my opinion, at constant high rev, in a road race or...) It is a right info?
My favourite british twin bike is the BSA A7 Shooting Star, in 1955-1962. But I have not seen for sale in near me.
The Matchless twins are look like than oldie but lovely for me, with megaphone silencers, side lamps, big seat...and the price too, Norton and Triumph twins are more expensive than BSA/AMC and they don't look good.
I don’t want to race, so the Triumph engines or the Norton frame it's not worth more money to me, reliability and appearance are important for me.

Thanks for the lot of information. I asked for data on the numbers and description of the restoration. But I'm sad, a lot of "little" details are incorrect: the exhaust system, mudguards, front/rear lamps, lucas side lamps next to the front lamp, light switch on the bar, petrol tap, tyres etc.
I would love to hunt for the correct parts, however together with these, the cost becoms too high, if I don’t get a significant discount.
John.k, I researched on the web, the gearbox is an Burman B52, if I right, but I found not bad oppinion about this unit. Could you help me? but the cam and lifter failure, bad news...
