British Bikes / Re: Suitable Bike
« on: February 05, 2011, 04:34:26 PM »
I live near to St Albans and have recently joined a club for Viragos.
However I want something a bit more classic so will look at your sugestions.
Thank you for your replies I think something around 500 cc will be fine.I have tried a Royal Enfield and found I could kick start it first time.
The man who loaned it to me has said he might sell so I have choices.
I had thought an AJS if I could find a good one however its hard to find some one who really can tell the difference between a good one and rubbish.

Yes perhaps more specific.I have a licence full one having passed my test on a chinese 125cc.
I have attended 2 years maintenance courses on cars and have done simple work like oil changes and spark plugs.
I have considered a BSA however nothing seems within price or comes with any promise of reliability.
I have attended several motorcycle rallies and would like a bike to ride and not have too many problems.
If we stick to British bikes would that bring more helpfull answers.
Thankyou

I find myself with more time to spare than I have been used to.
I have some skills mechanically as an ex member of a car club.
So I have decided to spend up to about £6,000 on a classic or vintage motorcycle.What would the people on this forum suggest.
I have a garage and am about 1.8 metres in height weighing about average for my height.
I would like a british motorcycle but have heard so many bad things about them so maybe a classic japanese or German.
Thanks for any replies.
