Anyone into classic bikes?
Been thinking about getting one recently, but wouldn't even know where to start!
Been keeping a eye on this site and seen some absolute beauties come through! Even some "too good to be true", cheap ones: http://www.classicbikeshed.co.uk/aut...html?highlight |

Re: Anyone into classic bikes?
There are some nice bikes on there. A couple of Norton's have caught my eye, after all my tool kit came with an imperial side that never gets used...

Re: Anyone into classic bikes?
I know it may not be 'classic' however I am hopefully picking up a Honda CD200 to have as a project, get running, strip down, rebuild & maybe turn into a little cafe racer.
Well that's the plan

Re: Anyone into classic bikes?
I've got a 1960 350 Matchless loitering in the back of the garage which, one day, I'm going to get out and get going. Judging by the prices I've just seen on that site it might be worth doing sooner than I thought!
A mate of mine has just got himself a TDR 250 frame with a log book and he is now busy building himself a bike with all my spares. I can see why now given the price of that RD350 on there! Not sure the FZR is entitled to be there yet though..... |

Re: Anyone into classic bikes?
This is nice!!
http://m.classicbikeshed.co.uk/autos...5.00-6730.html Not sure why you'd pay 4 grand more than you could buy a brand new Fireblade on it but each to their own
