Name the bike

[DaveB]

Nah.

The badge is wrong for a Royal Oilfield.

I've been assuming all along that it's a British bike, but even that may not be correct....

 

[DaveB]

I don't think it's a:-

AJS
Arial
BSA
Excelsior
Matchless
Norton
Royal Enfield
Sunbeam
Triumph
Velocette, or
Vincent

I haven't got a clue.

Not to interupt ya'lls train of thought but I'm about 17 pages into reading this thread for the first time and am enjoying it a ton. A lot because of the bikes and even more marvaling at the knowledge of the posters (which just fell some by me posting on it).

It is a BSA something-or-other I think.

 

[Silli]

@ Royal Oilfield - never heard that one!!

You can't bring down the knowledge more than I did.

Around a 650 as it looks like it was styled from the Bonnie and I would say 70's something maybe Italian. I have seen this bike before so let me think on it

 

[avion]

Warm Dave, very.

[DaveM]

Nope Silli that is a 650 Bonnie motor

 

[Silli]

[DaveM]

It was a Bonnie conversion done by the Italian's in the 70's but I cannot remember the name.
