I had a B50ss with the large English home market tank and Norton flat bar. I got it to 95mph flat on the tank on a long straight. Damn good reliable bike excellent handing. Its swing arm pivots on needle roller bearings and is thicker and stronger than the swing arm on my T160 Trident. I wouldn't mind another one. Well informed and good post .. Thanks
Really? Wow - the PO made it sound like those MX pipes offered a big weight savings over the stock one. He kept trying to convince me to find a set of them.

That's impressive! I have no doubt that mine would have hit that, but I can't say I would have wanted to 😅
The twinpipe MX pipes weigh 1.5lbs more than the SS muffler. It is a lot lighter than it looks.

@@improvsax my B50 had an early my megaphone, basically. It was perfectly stable at speed. If the blue paint on your bike is original then it is rare.
