I struggle with bikes like that and wouldnt like to value one? It's sold for more money than a mint H2,

But there`s not many of them but seem to be plenty of H2`s.

The great thing about it is I don't have to endure the "Ooh look at the horn....." comments from a certain wittering twot !!!!
Eh ?!!

no one of us wrote bad comments as we knew you were the seller and we imagined you need the money to live Neil

There is always a market for 'one off' specials or indeed limited number specials like this from Allan Millyard, I just don't know where, or if? they fit into the Classic Bike scene

It`s a purely personal thing Tilly. I know I didn`t join a Classic Bike Club when I joined this one , way back in the day. It was a small club for wierods who still rode obsolete old knackers , against the , then , trend for modern sports bikes ?

This " Classic Bike Scene " has evolved around , and despite , old codgers like me . And it seems, " The Rules " are constantly being rewirtten in an holier than thou manner !! Always amazed at the tut tut remarks " oh what a waste of a classic triple " spewed out against some of Simon Whitelocks creations ?!!

Go figure !!

I've got nothing against the multi cylinder creations Neil, nor do I think they're a waste of a triple and I certainly wouldn’t tut tut at one either
I saw a 4 cylinder that Alan had done with 2 rd lc cylinders stuck onto the kawasaki crankcases, I thought that sounded unbelievably good

I think everyone has their beliefs on 'how' a classic bike should look, it's a debate that could go on for hours or pages and get nowhere, In my eye's the acceptable 'Patina' would be akin to walking into Bill Smiths in 1976/77 and buying a 12/18 month, 3000 mile H2c, 'Patina' seems to vary from that 18 month old look to a bike that is covered in rust with a faded out fuel tank that you could just make out 'Kawasaki' on the side of the tank.

No one is right or wrong, it's just a personal thing as you said
