Following the current "retro" trend to a logical conclusion?

Advertising tag : Enjoy an authentic 1907 experience with a fully usable 7HP combined with 1970's reliability.

I can't see many people dressing in plus-fours and going to the Banbury run so the old boys can tell them it isn't right because electric lights didn't come in until 1914 but the mudguard design is copied from 1906!

I think it needs some cardboard cut outs of more engine components to bulk it up a little. Although it does look very pretty

Feel your all jumping the gun a little here, it won,t be going anywhere fast unless they remove the plagi bag from the intake, or maybe it,s there to stop the rabbits from being suck in from the hedgerows as it rides by. LOL.
