Shame these bikes aren't still being given stick as they were back in the 1970's. Standing at the Glen Helen Hotel, as a G50 came up from Laurel Bank, through the Black Dub, then passed Glen Helen and on round past Sarah's Cottage, with my diaphragm vibrating to the exhaust pulses, was magical and to hear that sonerous bass bellow, still brings up the goosebumps!    Unfortunately, this machine remained silent whilst we were at the meeting. 

If you would like a copy of the image for personal use, please drop me a line.

Good health, Bill

love it. i can remember seeing/hearing these circulating at silverstone (along with the nortons and beeza's) when my father took me there in the 50's (i travelled in the sidecar attached to dads 600 sunbeam) , obviously the outfits were well worth watching as well, bill boddice, pip harris, castrol R in the air ....  oh what fun we had !

One of (if not) my all time favourite bikes. Sadly a bit before my time, although I have seen a few racing over the years at the odd classic meet. The G50 is probably one of the reasons I bought my first xbr new back in 1986. Lovely looking bike 👍
Thanks for posting Bill
