just love the sound as that comes on cam at about 5500 rpm... these just beg to be run hard .. no wonder so many blew up with exuberant learners driving them... lovely bike
I'm almost tearful with nostalgia! My first bike was 1969 B25. Learned to ride on it.To this day I still can't shift with my left foot. That sound and the view of the gauges really brought back some nice memories, right down to the wiggling ammeter needle. Thanks so much for posting this.
I wish I still had mine. I bought it brand new for £275 in 1971 from Coburn and Hughes. I sold it a year later as all my mates were getting cars, and what girl wanted to sit on a bike when they could cruise around in an Anglia or ropey Mk1 Cortina.
Nice to see someone who knows how to change gear properly on a motor with (comparatively) heavy flywheels. Great video, brilliant riding! More please :)
Wow....that sure sounds great, music to the ears, played it at full volume on my floor standing base woofers!. After owning a C15 in the 70's, I bought a starfire in the early 90's to restore. Almost 20 years later and 2 grand spent restoring, it could be on the road this year 2010! If it goes and sounds like yours, will be well pleased. I just have a single large speedo, where can the smaller? speedo/rev counter and chrome brackets be purchased?
Question, please. This B-25 is the only one I've seen that has a speedo AND tach on it. It was supposed to be an available option but this is the only one i've ever seen. Did it come new with a tach? Or was it put on by an owner?

I used to have one of these back in the early 80's "Wish I still had it now"

I had one of these in 1969 in Robin Hoods Bay in Yorkshire. I'd forgotten how gutsy they sound. Great fun.
LOVE IT ! sounds fantastic, the music fits just right...

I bought it in 1981 when it only had a central speedo. In the early 90s, I added a tacho drive and the tacho.
I still have mine but its in boxes for 35 yrs :-):-):-)
