Some bikes seen at the TALMAG Trial today. A 1925 Indian Scout: 1951 350 Panther (not a sloper): 1962 350 Tri-Greeves:
I think it’s a Fahron. The bike was for sale on a two stroke forum a couple of years ago before they went crazy and I should have bought it. Having said that specials are an acquired taste and you can pay too much for them.
I didn't notice the triple spoke wheels and single front disc at first but it does look quite lovely I believe this is the same bike and describes the build/parts? https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1163090
What's your thoughts on the R1? i'm tempted to get another sports bike and am split between this and a similar era blade.
I really like the R1, TBH. The cross-plane crank does seem to make a difference. It's not quite a big twin, but definitely different to a normal inline 4. So, maybe a triple? I had the 2000 R1 before the 1198, so i vaguely recall the difference! Only issue I have at the moment is getting used to the riding position - the tank is quite a bit wider making it difficult to lock in properly. Need to get some more tank grip pads!
