I wish I'd been around to ride them the first time. Yes an old Brit engine would finish it off. Just like it finished the british bike industry off. Most of them had vertically split engine cases which led to all the oil leaks. Mainly because they weren't that well made at times with sketchy quality control. Triumphs hurricane and SS came to little to late :( . That said if anyone offered me a decent BSA firebird or a tr6 to a good home for 1 thou I would not say no. Its a shame that they all ended up the way they went, jobs lost and all. Even if they made badly designed / outdated stuff, by some geezer in a rolls royce.

From the slim seat and pounded tank to the high pipes and mono-shock swing arm, this thing is playing my tune.
