A very honest unmolested 500 single in “oily rag” condition, rides well.

The first thing we did with this bike, apart from clean it, was ride it in our local classic bike run. It didn’t want to start after the cleaning department had filled everything with water (you can see the steam on the video) but when it was on the road it was a joy. Comfortable, fast enough two-up and whilst it didn’t win any prizes it did the job in style if not with as much of a sparkle as others. The 500 singles are hard to find amongst the many 350s and this one has a lovely history, having been rebuilt by the last very long term owner who found it hard to part. And we can see why, having ridden her ourselves. Just nice, that’s all.
