Interesting. My Thruxton is 5 years old now and lives outside in the rain, and it still looks brand new when it's clean Nothing has ever gone wrong on it either. Mind you it is made in England. The later ones may be made in Thailand which may account for a perceived lack of quality.
By vintage I meant pushrods and rockers, etc.
They do look nice, but so much like an old BSA I would just go for the real thing.
The good thing about the Trumpets and Guzzis is you get old bike looks with new bike ease of ownership.
