Which Bike is this??

sids911 · 12th August 2009, 08:26

The engine looks like its Enfield 500's, but the tank and the headlamp assembly looks different than yesteryear's bulls.

Any thoughts??

agbenny · 12th August 2009, 09:53

It looks like a Norton during 60s.

jkdas · 12th August 2009, 10:07

What a thread!

Its a R18.

You should have asked the ladies when you took the picture.

This cannot be a working bike, nice studio this bike looks like the one you posted a R18 http://aa-ok.com/HD/45r18.jpg

The engine is definitely an Enfield 350 0r 500. The rest is a mix and match. The crankcase cover is a giveaway that it's not an Indian built one.

Could it be an old Yezdi, with some Indian mod-touche.

diwa · 12th August 2009, 11:00

Is it one of those old BSA's?

Seeler_Rebeiro · 12th August 2009, 11:52

Looks like Enfield 250cc, not made in India. Could be wrong.

throttleking · 12th August 2009, 13:35

looks like Norton Dominator to me

esteem_lover · 12th August 2009, 13:49

Just ask those kind ladies to step off the bike please.

?ushk@r · 12th August 2009, 14:01

By looking at the tank and gear box, it looks like a BSA or a Matchless to me

More Matchless because I compared if with the below picture! Btw the bike below is listed for sale..

It is probably an old enfield because you can see the rear break lever on the left footside ,even the engine design is a typical enfield kind. wow what a thread to start with

Ha I was looking at the bike carefully trying to identify it but then could never find it out ! nice notice. By the way I think the ladies are sisters. The elder one in charge of the handles.
