Not sure why I do it to myself but thinking of buying an old BSA B44 or similar BSA trials style bike. I'd love a Triumph but the prices are just too much. The alternative is a modern dual sport. Has anyone here owned a BSA and can tell me it's a stupid idea?
I don't commute so bikes are just for fun, which is what I keep telling myself when thinking of reliability.
According to my chum here (old Brit expert, builds them for a living.) The B44s / B50s are competent bikes and go well, the downside is they are famously fragile. Engine rebuilds are ruinously expensive. I’d have something like a Yammy DT1 instead…
