[QUOTE="Chris Launders, post: 179003, member: 2010"] Been to see the bike, nice B Rapide, two front heads with Mk2s, electric start, BTH mag, Shadow clock and drums, supposedly a Maughan built engine, started first kick for me and after a few seconds would tick over nicely (wish I could say the same about mine), quiet mechanically. He was slightly concerned as if you whack the throttle open you get a bit of black smoke, which I would expect, however rolling it on steady none at all, seems a very nice bike to me. [/QUOTE]
