Classic Motorcycles in India

FINTAIL · 27th June 2015, 22:30

BYN 5089 was seen about - on her rounds in Pune.

The registration is Nashik; MH- circa 1955-56; I believe.

The owner; rightly; was extremely proud of her!

Yeah- It's an Enfield Bullet. A Brit import; I'm told.

Hi all.
I am trying to buy a 1989 Luna. Obviously, the old owner simply has the RC book. Insurance and emission, I am not sure. Its known for sure that there is no fitness certificate and no tax paid for the current time. Assuming that insurance and emission is also somehow arranged, I want to know how to successfully transfer that bike to my name. Location is Bangalore and I get the impression that its a Bangalore registered bike. Any help is appreciated.

Saw this beautifully restored BSA cafe racer today near my house. Owned and restored by this gentleman in the picture. It's a 1955 model near original bike and had beautiful details. 😍😍

Got this on WhatsApp. Not sure if this was shared before, or if its the right place to be sharing it.

This was apparently a prototype for a three wheeler from the factory.

"A small Photo Walk through the last known days of existence and remains of the Ideal Jawa Factory in Mysore .While I scouted for bikes and spares my friends sukesh and Sandeep went around clicking these pics to enable us make a coffee table book talking the history of this "once famous" marque Whilel the original boards,the bikes,framed pics and manuals have found spaces standing out as mantle pieces within the boundaries of our houses ..the coffee table book is still in the making !!

Dear Schakravarthy, In case you are wondering he is Prashanth and a Fiat friend from Bangalore, he is avid biker and present on forum by name of Voyager.

This 1951 Matchless for sale, used to be owned by me at one point.

http://classifieds.team-bhp.com/buy-...atchless.html/

I sold this bike in 1999 and glad to that she survives. Restored by the Late Sunder, this bike was in great condition when I sold it. I remember sourcing the tank pads from Hyderabad to complete the restoration!
