Something for steveC#222, perhaps? Lovely looking machine.

I'm not sure about classy, but they certainly look better now than they did 30 years ago...

How much!!!!!! :o :o :o :o

Some years ago I edited the Cossack Owners Club newsletter and was contacted by a guy who had been told he had to get rid of a Voshkod he had in a week or scrap it. To cut a long story short I bought it for £20!.... I gave it to my brother who still has it!

...Hope he doesn't see how much they're asking!

A "great investment something a bit different will increase in value with age"  ::)  You might even make more putting your money in NS&I Premium Bonds!  ;)

In 1979, I was offered a Voshkod 175 in pale blue that had less than 500 miles on the clock for £30, I didn't have £30 buckshee at the time, so spent £20 on a Honda PC50 from the same vendor, it started Kat's motorcycling career.

Now, the Honda PC50 engine fetches £150 alone, "for restoration"!  ;)

I think I made the right decision.

Good health, Bill

Iwould quite like to own one to take to shows (on a trailer) as when you see one they are quite a nice old fasioned looking bike and no-one would guess what it was....it's just a pity about the brakes, the engine, the electrics, the chrome.......
