Just been trawling eBay dreaming of vintage and veteran bikes, I’m amenable to pretty much any bike model or make but not a single BSA appeals to me, never have and I’m an old Brit bike fan.
What’s yours?

I don’t really like Scott’s. It’s the tanks. They are either canister like and totally look like an afterthought.
It’s either that or more conventional tanks that look like they are bolted on too low.

Heretic 😁 Pretty much every other bike mentioned I’ve owned obvs apart from Jim’s weird yank stuff. |

I never say never. OK then, Hardly Able to.
Unless it's bikes I would never own because I can't afford/wouldn't pay that for them. In which case it's most modern stuff. 20K + for a motorcycle? Can't see it happening.

I would not want a BMW GS or anything Chinese. I haven't found a british vintage or veteran bike I would not want to own 🙂

Anything made by Mr Harley and/or Davidson. Trikes. Quads too for that matter.

I'm trying hard not to take the bait here. As a current Scott owner (on the LC club stand at Mallory this weekend) and an ex Harley owner... I'd have to say any other Harley apart from the XR1200 I used to own. More like a Buell than a Harley, I really liked it, torquey 1200cc V twin and decent running gear, sportsbike sized sticky radial tyres, You could get your knee down. Well Guy Martin could anyway. sideburnmag.blogspot.com/2010/09/guy-martin-on-xr1200.htmlI wouldn't want a Trike either, unless I could no longer balance on 2 wheels. |

I was waiting for you to pop up, I did defend the Scott cause. And as a current buell owner they aren’t Harleys and I should know having owned a sportster for all of 500 miles. Lightish weight shed loads of torque what’s not to love? |
