RealClassic 1973 CONDOR A350
I was looking for a significantly lighter and smaller machine than some classics I have enjoyed, like the 1970s BMW flat twins or Harley-Davidson Sportsters. It needed to be engaging and perhaps a little quirky, easy to start, equipped with handy and user-friendly stands, to be affordable and hopefully be able to hold its value. I pondered a Morini 350 but my preferred Strada with wire wheels failed the 'affordable' test. An experience with a swinging arm BSA B31/33 ruled out these machines; the last one I owned was fitted with a centrestand designed by the devil.
