Hi folks,just thought i'd introduce myself,and apologise straight away for the seemingly daft questions i have yet to ask.
This is my first ever brit,as i have beeen mainly japanese orientated, i currently have 2 gen1 vmax a 98 and 02 also a 96 rt1100 for tramping about on. I am based near heathrow and according to my children "getting on a bit" but what do they know.
I have just acquired a black(handpainted) 650 twin , a10 or a7 not 100% sure,it would appear to be a mixture. It has a late 1958 frame prefix FA77458 ,but i can't workout what the engine is from Prefix ca7837 which would suggest a 1961 a7 not sure havent quite worked it out, but also has "brs 1176" stamped on it - havent a clue. the tins and tank seem to be a mixture of years also, i look forward to finding out a little more as time goes by. It has the obligatory seep (nothing too major though). i have yet to get the knack of starting it. But it does start and runs pretty well once warm,and puts a stupid inane grin on my chops.-- perfec
