growing up through teens and being bike addicted,all i wanted was a rocket 3...but by the time license arrived they where out of production,so settled with an italian HD as first bike.when these hit our shores i will have a serious look.looking on some world sites ,there a ot of very old rivet counters who are not happy with the " goldie " designation...but they wouldnt be happy with any thing retro,and thats their perogative.

The old man was a BSA fan much to the disgust of his father who was a Norton man till the end. I do like the look of the new ones, shame they have that radiator, spoils the look a wee bit.

have been lucky enough to have a mate insist i take his t150 for a short  ride a couple of years ago[ just a few km's ] and it was a great experience and the sound was great too,which fueled the want even more but todays prices being asked put one out of my reach at this point in my life...maybe one day.

back in my apprenticeship days,there was a bloke who lived out of town who rode a t150 with a very open 3-1,it howled and you could hear him leave town and he rode like he stole it.

Be interesting to see what price they are when they land on Australia. Not sure if they will arrive this year  and BSA will have to find enough dealership's to sell their bikes without travelling hours and hours just to look at one.
