But they didn't paint the frame in Al Cave battleship grey so it would look like nickel-pating in black & white photos.

Looks nice . There is some debate on the internet as to whether this bike and the Suzuki TS 700 are 'real' upcoming models or just concept bikes that have been photoshopped...? I dunno . But they do look good.

Re: It's 1971 again!
After initially considering a Triumph Scrambler 1200, the heat from the high exhaust is leg melting and nullified any idea of buying one.
An underslung pipe with kicked up silencer option would surely help sales.
Looks really nice though.

I had a 1971 BSA B25 Gold Star...which that new BSA is cosmetically inspired by.
I set my wellington boot on fire on the exhaust...so it's all part of the authentic experience.

Re: It's 1971 again!
I did find one from France for about £800, which was more tolerable but I got smitten with the Norden.
would have been less hassle to go with the Triumph but I needed to go for a change of manufacturer.
