Hi,
Let me start with some info'
I like to take a small/light bike with us when we go to the Manx so I can get to my Marshal point. I'm running out of options for bikes as I've taken a few different types over the years.
This was 2019 visit.
So I was wondering about a Silverstone. Am I crazy?
Here a some starters to follow the above question about my sanity.
A bike with an original frame would be the lightest I presume but what do they weigh, around 85Kg? This is from my searches on the interweb.
Is it obvious if a Trials or Scrambler frame has been used for a replica/copy? I know the racer frame indent is R?S, is this only stamped on the down frame section?
At 73 I think I am fit enough to push or paddle start one If it wasn't to highly tuned, but would converting to kickstart be a good idea?
Registered for the road, I'm not too concerned about at present.
I've seen some bikes for sale but not seen one in the flesh, and I know of one quite close to me not for sale, but I know the owner from teenage biker days so I'm off for a gander.
Any links for me to read or anybody been down this road please, have a say.
Cheers
Seasons Greetings
