Argh, if only I lived in the UK!!! What a solid vintage affordable bike that ticks a lot of boxes. And best of all Dave did the work. Kudos for pricing it at a reasonable amount. Someone will be getting a terrific bike.
Nice bike at a very good price. The A65s are very underrated in my opinion, I had a 68 Spitfire which I rode to Spain and back for the 2011 Moto Piston Rally. And don't be put off by the smokey exhaust, that's just because it's been sat for a while and has slightly wet-sumped, it will clear after a 10 minute ride.
If you're going to buy a vintage British bike, you can't do much better than buying one from Dave Mitchell himself. This would be a good first vintage bike for someone looking to get started in the world of old motorcycles...just because you know the history and what work has been done (and by whom). You're not going to get it home and find any surprises ...like what happened to Ollie and his BSA.
Nice old Beeser mate. Had the chance to ride both models back in the 70s. The dual carb model was a bit snapper to ride.
Cheers and good luck on the sale. 💪👍🇬🇧
Whoever buys it is getting a really nice bike for a right price. And you know the work is done right. These bikes don't suffer fools gladly. They are easily damaged if somebody who didn't know what he was doing "worked on it". By now, most of these vintage bikes have passed through several owners and at least 1 or more of the previous owners probably has "animalized " it. So this example adds value because the new owner doesn't have to worry about anything being botched up.
nice bike ,sounds sweet . i had a new one the same ,export model 1969 ,from Elite motors ,cancelled export order ,£299 . now 75 still ride but scooters as cant change gear easily .
Cheap for such a well sorted bike ! Wish I had a bigger garage !
Ahh so US spec models have lower gearing. I’ve learned something today. Cheers.
😮nice
Dave, for the love of God, don't buy a modern bike. The snobs on here will ridicule you, like they did me when I had the audacity to say I had a T100 from 2014 😂
I have a 2013 T100, no ridicule so it makes me wonder what is wrong just 1 year later 😂😂
Mine is a 2011 T100. Green and white. Bought it new. Lovely thing. Never going to sell it voluntarily.
@PatrickWhitaker-ls2cs wait for it. I'd recommend the 2014 SE T100, no fancy electronics, no abs, and an old fashion front number plate. Black with gold coach lines..... one of my biggest regrets, selling it. The new owner made a balls of it and customised it with some Motone tat, even swapped out for a shorter mudguard. What a plonker
@paulmbg mine has no abs, I've removed all the nanny blocks off the sidestand and clutch and air injection, wider bars, ikon fork springs, period Hagons, loud pipes. New England cream on cranberry red..
@@paulsire The new owner must've watched one of the 20 minute long Stuart Fillingham videos where he showcases his mad mechanic skills by making an entire afternoon out of screwing an aftermarket motone brass gas cap onto the tank 🤣🤣🤣. Maybe you all missed the bullseye by just a tiny bit by buying the fuel injected versions, but you gents have excellent tast because those air cooled 360 "modern" Bonnevilles are the bees knees, in fact you can check your VIN number which tells you where it was made because a lot of them were even made in merry old England, just like fire breathing Bonnevilles of yore
Bargain, mate. If only I didn't live in Australia and wasn't 74!!!!!
How much is it?
£4,250
@TheClassicMotorcycleChannel more than reasonable
I guess you never heard the engine running either
@@alpiekaar guess wrong,
I had a '68 Lightning back in 1975 - black with chrome tank. Beautiful bike. I had it for only 2 weeks before some thieving scum bags stole it from a shared lock-up garage under a block of flats - Limehouse in the East end of London.
