I have read and re-read and neither of the above seem to make much sense !
Lay off the spirits.

The pictures of the bike were the thumbnails. When you are uploading pics if you pic on insert you can upload full size pic but you knew that!!!

Re BSA, I wouldn't be interested in a mod up of an old bike, and same goes for similar modded up Triumph.

So now!!!!

My main dislike of the new bsa was the engine casings. They are painted metallic silver then laquered, overall the effect was a bit rushed and cheap looking. I would have liked to have seen polished alloy in keeping with the original. Other than that the fit and finish was way better than the Enfields on offer.

Its a fair attempt with a few of the right styling clues and therein lies the problem for me, its styling not the real thing

Like jaws I think the exhaust sticks out like a sore thumb, its not only the silencer but the downpipe as well for me and the whole lot would have to go in the bin, not overly impressed with the finish either as I cant see it lasting long in use if other Mahindra products are anything to go by

lastly there is my usual gripe of all the bits to make it uk road legal look wrong (EG lights indicators etc) I do wish at least one of the makers of "classic" reproductions/copies/whatever you want to call them would at least make an attempt to hide/disguise these bits instead of just bolting on generic crap as an afterthought ...... i suppose a few hours in the shed with an angle grinder and a friendly mot man 3 years down the road would sort that though .............. if it lasts that long that is
