I think it basically looks good...It's a shame they didn't come up with a nicer looking/less obtrusive radiator...The Triumph has it between the frame down tubes and it looks a lot neater and more discreet...A little on the heavy side as well at 469lbs.'wet'..(213 kilos)....It seems motorcycle manufacturers have universally forgotten the benefits of light weight...My 1970 T120R Bonneville was just under 400lbs...

Nevertheless, I still like it at first look...What price?.. That is the important question that remains unanswered...Ian

So far I've heard a vague rumor of between £5000-£6000. Ron

On further investigation, the prices guessed at will be more than a 650 RE twin and more like that of a Kawasaki W800 and the Triumph Street Twin. So I'd say more like £8000. Ron

With the latest version of the now well established RE Interceptor at £6850 (base models about £6400) and the 900cc Triumph Street Twin at £8600, I think they'll struggle if it's £8000....Ian

Agreed about that bloody radiator. I'd like to see this bike compete in the same area as RE & prices would need to be similar. I hope it doesn't end up an overly expensive boutique machine. The idea of a 650cc ohc single certainly has its attractions.
Is there any talk of eventually expanding the range with other bikes? This might give an indication of where the company wants to head.

great looking bike. i hope it does come to Australia..no matter what the price is, probably wont be as much as ive spent on my m20..lol

' probably wont be as much as I've spent on my m20..'

:laughing: :laughing: ...Quite, all of my BSAs have cost as much or more than the new one is likely to be...Building the Goldie was measurably the wrong side of £10,000 and the B33 'special' I'm building now will cost nearly as much due to the substantially upgraded specification...On the other hand, they'll probably return more of their cost than any new bike when the time to sell comes around, which helps to convince me I know what I'm doing:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: ...Ian

I was once told that the definition of an enthusiast is a person who spends more on their bike than it's actually worth. So I must be an enthusiast.

There was a point where I started to look at my bikes and what I would or wouldn't build based on current or future values...I guess I read too many classic bike magazines...

Then I remembered that I didn't used to think like that.. The reason I had old bikes was because I liked building and riding them, not because of what they're worth now or later...

Once I got my head straight again I carried on building whatever took my fancy, however illogical and irrespective of the balance sheet...I'm now poorer but feel I have a more healthy attitude again and I can blow all my money on things like this:laughing: .....Ian
