Thanks for the help given. Next saturday I will visit the shop and ask a friend that knows vintage bikes to go with me.

British Bikes / Re: Advice on first classic motorbyke purchase

I prefer the Royal Enfield because I like bikes with individual seats, but a new 500cm3 are being sold in my country for about 5859 UK pounds, so it's only 897 more than the vintage one. But the new made in Indian are reliable as the old ones made in UK ?
These two bikes (AJS and R.E.) are being sold in a car/bike official store, so the law forces to give 2 years of warranty.
Wetdog, what do you mean by AJS making you sick ? You don't like it ?

Yes, it was a big help considering I do not know anything about motorcycles and more specifically about vintage motorcycles. I'm sorry about forgetting to say that the bikes are being sold as 100% restored in a motor dealer/store, mainly the Royal Enfield with a better restoration job. They are from the following years:
Ajs 350 16MS - April 1957 - 15.000 km - 4000 euros (about 3452 UK pounds)
Royal Enfield Bullet G2 350 - May 1953 - 7.090 km - 5750 euros (about 4962 UK pounds)
Some photographs:
Thanks.

Good day to all,
I already had three 50cm3 in the past but now I want to buy a classic motorbyke with a little more power to make longer trips. I have a classic car and I know that mechanics must be all fine tuned and that there may be problems of reliability compared to a newer bike. However I would like to know for example whether an AJS 16MS 350 or Royal Enfield Bullet 350 G2 can handle a trip of 100 km (maybe off motorways) for two times a year ?
Also, I might ask your opinion on these two bikes that are for sale in my town and already full restored. Any preference in terms of reliability and performance, or some known problem of these models?
Thanks in advance.
