Just think what HiFi you could get by selling that lotFirst : NSU Quikley
Best : Hayabusa
Now : Speed Triple, K1600, CBX 1000, Hayabusa, KE100, CB750K6
Or if I sold my hifi, I could buy another, or I could if I had any more in the garage and the shed? :$Just think what HiFi you could get by selling that lot
You wouldn't need to. It'll be the blind idiot that pulls out on you.I think Phil might be my brother...
First: BSA Bantam. Actually, first was some unidentifiable moped, but it didn't last long.
Best: T120 Bonneville. Maybe not technically the best, but the most memorable in 'feel'.
Added category. Most insane: Original Kawasaki 750 H2. The two-stroke widowmaker with about 2bhp for most of the rev range and about 500bhp for a 300rpm segment that inevitably came in half way round a damp corner. Winner of the 'how many times did you drop it' award.
Now: None, but considering. Not a sports job these days, but a cruiser or a classic for the summer. Never use my car, so it may go on the list. All I need to do is persuade a certain someone that I won't kill myself.
Didn't recognise that model so Googled it. No pages found for it. What was it?Worst, Norton EL4.
depends on if you're in the mind-set to sell bikes to get HiFi, or HiFi to get bikes.Or if I sold my hifi, I could buy another, or I could if I had any more in the garage and the shed? :$

Thanks. I didn't buy a Jubilee when I was looking for my first bike. Went to see one and wasn't impressed, looking back I shouldn't have been impressed by the Bantam either but a single cylinder 2 stroke engine seemed to be easier for a beginner to look after. I found this, it might help anyone else who wants to know what an Electra was.Otherwise known as the Norton Electra, a bored out Navigator with electric start and bar end indicators.
It had Roadholder forks and a Norton grey tank, but that's as close as it got to being a Norton. It was made in Plumstead out of spare AMC parts. The Prince of Darkness was responsible for the electrics, so it's hardly surprising that they were hit or miss.
Mine was a 1964 model bought from a collector in the late 80s. I sold it a few years later, having never really enjoyed it.
