Let there be light....

Remember the days when you could switch your car lights on from a switch on the dashboard? On later cars it was moved to a stalk next to the steering column. All the lights needed was a switch, some wire, and if you were lucky, a fuse.

Well, this is what my car 'needs' to make the lights come on! It's hidden near the footpedals, and mine decided to stop working. I don't mind working on bikes, but can't be bothered working on the car, so into the garage it went. Wasn't that expensive, but it seems to be an overly complex way of doing what is a simple function.

Friday bike update, update, update............

Back in January I featured the Honley 250 Venturer.

This turned out to be the Zongshen RX3 rebadged by the British importer. It is also sold in Belarus badged as M1NSK, and now in the USA as the CSC Cyclone!
Looks like the importer in each country gets to stick there own badges on it!
If anyone out there owns one, or has even ridden one, please let us know what it's like.

Some more exotica that you're unlikely to ever see, and certainly not afford!

Midual Type 1

1036cc canted, boxer twin putting out a fairly lowly 107 bhp should give a nice broad spread of power. Fairly sensible riding position and high spec suspension and brakes should make it fun to ride. Not sure about the styling though! The instruments set into the top of the leather (?) covered tank look good, if a bit impractical, and the line of the exhausts is just 'wrong'.

TECH SPEC
Price: €140,000 starting price (around £112,000) (US$174,000)
Engine: Water-cooled, eight-valve, 180° flat-twin four-stroke 1036cc
Power: 107bhp (79.8kW) @ 7800rpm
Torque: 72.3lb-ft (98Nm) @ 6000rpm
Wet Weight: 239kg
Seat height: 810mm
Tank size: 14 litres

Two this week, but variants on the one design.

Husqvarna 401 'Vitpilen'

Husqvarna 401 'Swartpilen'

Couple of prototypes shown recently by Husqvarna. The Vitpilen (White Arrow) and Swartpilen (Black Arrow) are road and trail versions of the same bike, not much in the way of detail other than they've got a 401cc engine. Whether or not you'll ever be able to buy them, or even something similar, we'll have to wait and see. Husqvarna have produced a promo video that's so pretentious that I assume it's a parody. Judge for yourselves!

You can see more of the Vitpilen here.

Rare bike

Saw an example of a very rare bike on Ebay:

1974 Maico MD250

I have never seen one of these and the only mention I'd ever heard of it was in an American magazine back in the 70s.

Maico were a German company that mostly made off road bikes, but also made a few road bikes as well. You can see the off road influence on the engine, which was a 250cc two stroke single with rotary valve induction.

Ebay listing end this coming Saturday (8th Novenber), so bid early if you're interested!

Some technical details here.

Now for something a bit different....

Black Douglas 'Sterling'

The Black Douglas Motorcycle Company are selling the Sterling either as a complete bike or as a kit for you to build yourself.

Engine options are between 125 and 230cc, and their are a number of options of finish. They also have suitable luggage...

Despite their British name and web address, they are built in Italy and are currently undergoing European Homologation tests. More on their Website.

Not really my type of bike, but I really liked the look of it.

Indian Scout

Watercooled 1130cc V-twin with 6 speed gearbox, and priced in the UK at a reasonable £10,339.
More details on the British importer's website.

Needless to say, there are plenty of 'bolt on goodies' available for it.
An interesting addition to the 'big cruiser' market, and MUCH cooler than a Harley-Davidson!

....and you can tour on small scooters

Found this on the Web. Sorry, don't know who the author is, if anyone does please let me know.

I don't own a car but my wife and I ride Suzuki AN 125 Scooters . We live in Durban and we have been to the Cape and back. Last December we went to Mozambique and back. We love camping and fishing we carry a double dome tent, double bed blow up mattress, 2 sleeping bags , our feather pillows, 2 chairs, Poetjie , braai , charcoal , food .clothing , a boat (Marina 3 inflatable ) battery engine, battery , fishing rods, tackle and more on our scooters . Everything you carry on your bukkie and trailer we have . People cant believe it . We are really having fun and saving loads of money 

Poetjie = cooking pot, and braai = barbeque grill. Not sure what 'bukkie' means, but you get the idea. Carrying an inflatable boat? That is superb!

Hesketh 24

First bike for a very long time from Hesketh of F1 Racing car and exotic and expensive V twin motorcycle fame.

Powered by a 1950cc S&S X-Wedge engine, the 24 is so named as there will be only 24 of them built. This probably means that they will go into collections and never be ridden on the road.

Whether this signals the start of bike production  by Hesketh or not remains to be seen, but at £35,000 each (44,000 Euros, US$57,000) it's a bike only for the well heeled.

Following on from last week's 'Friday bike', I was still looking for a replacement for my BMW. Another bike I seriously thought about was:

Kawasaki GT550

As a tourer the GT had a lot going for it: sensible riding position, shaft drive (was thought important then), big (22 litre) fuel tank, and low exhaust that allowed panniers to be easily fitted.

A very popular bike at the time with many racking up huge mileages at the hands of couriers.
My plan would have been to fit panniers and a screen/small fairing, and use it as a general runaround/commuter that I could also use for European trips.

When I was looking on the Internet for pictures of a GT550, I came across this example. You can't deny its got a lot of luggage carrying ability!

General information
Model:	Kawasaki Z 550 GT
Engine and transmission
Displacement:	553.00 ccm (33.74 cubic inches)
Engine type:	In-line four

Another 'bike I nearly bought', but this time it I didn't buy it due to the seller.

On my regular commute back in the 80s, I used to see a white Honda VT250F fitted with Krauser panniers, then one weekend saw it for sale in a local bike shop. I knew one of the guys in the shop and he told me that the customer had bought it from them new, had it regularly serviced, and had only used it for commuting into the city centre. My BMW was getting a bit 'tired' at this point and I was looking for something smaller and more modern, so the Honda potentially filled the bill.

Never a common bike in Britain, it had lots of typically 80s features - hydraulic clutch, anti dive forks, watercooling, 4 valve heads, plus some that weren't so cool like Comstar wheels and enclosed disc.

I'd been offered £515 by a friend of a friend for the BMW, and as the Honda was priced at £599, it looked like a deal was on the cards. I told the shop owner that I was interested, and he arranged to move the bike nearer the door so I could take it out for a test ride the following weekend (the shop was quite small and the Honda was near the back).
The following week arrived and I noticed that the panniers and frames were missing and the price tag now read £699. I questioned the shop owner about this and he said that the panniers weren't part of the deal and it had always been priced at £699. Meanwhile, I could see my friend that worked there shaking his head and mouthing 'no' over his shoulder! I told him to forget it, and walked out. The bike was probably worth £699 even without the panniers, but I wasn't going to be taken in by a blatent con like that.
Shame really as I always thought it a really pretty bike (in an 80s sort of way), and it probably would have been a fun bike to own.
