New SOHC addition
Oddjob:
I didn't ever think I'd buy a cruiser but there's just something about this bike that appeals to me. Spotted it on Dave Silver used bikes.
It was a runner in the states and it looks like it's been very well cared for. 59000 miles.
Taking delivery in a few weeks.
Seabeowner:
Wow, that's a change of direction.
Do we call it a twin single or double single. (OHC)?

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I was very tempted by a Honda 1300 X4 at Stafford Show last year aside from an oil drip it looked a lot of bike for £3k.
Then I realised I parted with my XJ900 because it was too heavy!
Looks very tidy!
K2-K6:
Oooh! that's going to keep your polishing mops busy Ken :)

It's reputably a single overhead cam for both cylinders, along with hydraulic tappets, self adjusting camchain, shaft drive and CDI. Just change the oil and filters and it's good to go.
59K milage and tax free in 4 years. If I don't like it I'll sell it on, cost me £1850, which could be a bargain but we'll need to see it run first. If it runs ok I'm probably not going to do anything to it except ride it, if my lad passes his test I'll give it to him as a present.
