It looked like a barge at the side of the modern bikes, how people threw them around the isle of man tt I don't know! They also had a fzr600r fox eye unregistered, very tempted as I had one for 9 years,doubt I'd get my feet on the pegs now

I came across this little beauty some time ago. Looks like a classic but was actually brand new. Royal Enfield 350 four stroke single, very nicely put together and sound proper, like a real old thumper.

Indian made copy of the British fifties bike. Assembled over here from crates of shipped in parts and given some tweaks and better paintwork, 350 and 500 sizes made, with various spec options. Reg Allen of Hanwell used to be a main importer, dunno if he still is. There are quite a few about. A mate of mine has a couple of the 350's. Dead easy to maintain, but need regular fettling and pretty slow. Not a bike for the motorway.

Reg Allen also sell Chinese AJS badged small bikes.

Looks like a fun way to get to work and get around locally, I quite like that

I agree, you wouldn't want to do a grand tour on it ( although I do know a chap who toured through France and into Spain and back on a Honda C90 Cub ).

Funny you should say that. I was about to post saying that a Honda 125 would be near enough as quick, much better on juice and ten times more reliable.

Most definitely, I had a Honda CB100N when I was 17 and that poor little bike suffered massive abuse, miles and miles of thrashing it to within inches of it's life and it just kept going and going. It only let go twice, once when the cam chain slipped the sprocket and once with a broken piston ring. If I'd treated my bigger bikes that way they wouldn't have lasted 5 minutes.
