Cratecruncher Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I have no idea what this motorcycle is but it looks early by the looks of those girder forks and very British from the registration plate. Any ideas what this motorcycle is? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krow113 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 A Vincent would be a good guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocatlub Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 If it does have leaf spring girder forks it could well be an American bike like an Indian or similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krow113 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) No leaf spring Vincents , American bikes wont have the reggy plate. So its English... 20's and 30's Triumphs all have the plate on the fender not the spring , no Velo's like that, cant find any leaf spring Beezers , no leaf spring Nortons , no leaf spring Broughs- I thought it may be an update or... no leaf spring Rudges. The odd thing is the reggy plate mounted to the spring , I thought the plate had to be mounted to the body work... Popes had a leaf spring front end but the handklebars on '20's bikes were all kinda pullback style. Henderson no , Crocker no , American bikes all have valanced fenders , this appears to be a standard English s/s type fender... Matchless no , AJS no, Benelli , no ... running out of marques! I think its a 'fake' or something to throw us off. Smaller manufacturers ,like today, offered kits for existing marques to upgrade suspension , steering dampers etc. This is what we are seeing here, a stock front end with an added aftermarket suspension upgrade, relocating the reggy plate from the fender. The Brough is a limited run as there is a very small market so doing a really rare bike will only slim the market even more. Fun tryna find out though!

Bortig Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 How about a Brough Superior SS100 1924, if its the same as on hiroboy for £510. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vontrips Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) Montgomery Anzani I'll wager! ;-) Aha! Edited September 7, 2016 by vontrips 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krow113 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I see they have a 1/9 chain set in stock now, kinda useless without sprockets though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cratecruncher Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 I think Vontrips nailed it! I too hope the noisy parts are Anzani but the Montgomery folks bolted on just as many JAP's and it would be less design work for MFH to reuse the files from the Brough kit. Fingers crossed for the Anzani. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krow113 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Never even heard of that before, looks like the Brough at first glance. Like I said small manufacturers supplied the same parts to a lot of the m/c manufacturers. They should stop all this silliness and finish off the knucklehead , bet that would sell! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vontrips Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 My Dad had an Anzani outboard motor when I was a kid. He used to swear on its reliabilty. However, I have many childhood memories of us bobbing up and down miles from shore with him cussing, trying to start the damn thing! ;-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cratecruncher Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 Wasn't it an Anzani 2-banger that made a certain moustachiod Frenchman famous? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vontrips Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Wasn't it an Anzani 2-banger that made a certain moustachiod Frenchman famous? Bleriot, mon ami?! Ironically, I grew up by the Strait of Dover...many of my fouled plugs - are we ever going to see land again episodes occurred under Bleriot's flight path! LOL!

krow113 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I wonder how many kits of a bike no-one ever heard of will sell!? Looks like a no-brainer as it uses a lot of the Brough parts. Good show MFH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
