Nice, slightly unusual Thumper for somebody.

I must say I rather like these.  Sound engine for which the bits are readily available.

Surely there must be a Thumperista out there who wants to fly a different flag.

I had the 500 Saxon Fun/Tour can never remember which !!!

Basically the same bikes but slightly different clothes.
Very,very good it was too !

Not exactly my cup of tea, but not bad. Decided to have a look around fleabay to see what else was there, 290320248089 for those with a VERY deep pocket!! Egli Vincent Replica.


Something else which should have the NOC frothing at the mouth, 170337200483, a Norton Manxman 250!!!! Found the site that sells these things www.eco-wheels.com/norton villiers, have a look but don't blame me if you feel like throwing up.

Mmm I could fancy the MZ - cept I have no money . oh well - so puts it in the same bracket as the Egli - now there is an advert- MZ single same as Egli Vincent....

Erm, without wishing to appear picky, aren't the frame. forks and wheels different to a Saxon Tour?




I thought they were very different... but I've been wrong before 

The Silver Star is right up on my 'want-to-own-one' list, it's a great little bike. The Saxon Tour is a nice bike, but it doesn't have (imho) the same charisma as the Star.

Well I've never seen one with its clothes off but they certainly look different.

Excellent MZ brake - Brembo clone.

Luvverly handling.

I need another bike like a hole in my head.

Hummmmm

Keep looking at this and wondering - ummmmmm

With a skim of the head / head gasket etc and the 675 cam I have in the shed, flatter bars....

Mind to upper 40's bhp

Probably too small for me...

More bits! to add to your 'signature'

I'll collect my outer garments>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

[Steffan]

actually they are the same frame with a down tube fitted the wheels are the spoked ETZ item, apart from that and the motor there is precious little difference under the skin

I stand corrected...

if you don't mind me asking, where did you get that anorak? 

GC

[robG]

Probably from the same outlet as you got yours ,

If the Mz single had looked more like the Star , I think they would have sold so much better .Can't take to the lumpy look of the Tour . I recall an article in Classic Motorcycle on a Star with a Watsonian nailed to it . Don't recall the chair , but involved a run to Utrecht I think .

And still got the enclosed chain too....................

One of the best ideas rarely to grace other machinery.

Another to add to the sig - mmm my thoughts exactly

Thank You Steff. I thought I would keep quiet on that one so as not to appear tooo much of an anorak 


Still got the Workshop Manual somewhere.
