And while looking for your vintage bike, you have a nice reliable modern Triumph to ride (which as you found out, is no hardship). Nice bike!


Yes, it's super reliable. Couldn't be happier. Pops and bangs now and then coming off a hard acceleration but have had that on other bikes too. I did almost buy a 1974 BMW R90/6 which was running and looked good (Kijiji), but the guy sold it the week I was going to contact him. Same time this bike came up at a dealership. Went down next day and bought it.

Those Speedmasters are ostentatious - in a good way
I have always liked the conventional style of the Nortons, BSAs and Triumphs. I did have a Norton Commando years back. Had to sell it because of bad economy in the early 80s... damn! So glad that I bought this one though.
