Hi, I owned two of these back in 1971 & 1972 A real joy to own and delightful to ride often at the tight end of the throttle cable; rear tyre used to last 4,000 miles if I was lucky they were TT100's. At the time I could have bought a terrace house for what the bike cost and anyone having the pleasure of owning one was considered king of the road then the 900cc models appeared. These looked like a proper motorcycle; my 1972 model had full fairing; crash bars; rear carrier and tank bag; I fitted a car radio to it. I packed in biking when I married but my biking days were some of the best times I ever had. I live in West Yorkshire; UK. Thanks for sharing the video. Kind regards and stay safe, Colin.
@@mrdavidlee Tig gloves do seem comfortable for riding but they’re so thin. I’ve definitely rode home from work in my welding bib so, I’m not one to judge. I also have a ‘71 /5, these bikes are a goddamn dream.
Cool motorcycle...and great video. Where did you have your camera mounted and what type of camera did you use? It really felt like I was riding the bike as I was watching this. : )

How much are these worth
How would you compare riding this to a r ninet
They're completely different. The only similarity is the engine configuration. Two very different bikes to ride though.
