was thinking of that but i might as well be pushing it every were because its a 1200cc its that bit to small.

Half the country,s deliveries were made in early 1200 transporters. I didn,t realise you want to race it:ROFLMAO:
A low mileage 1200 engine , would be more reliable than a high mileage 1600 bay engine. But hey, thats your call, I thought it would get you out of a hole.

Just a thought Dillont, but if you have a low mileage beetle engine with only 38k, why dont you pop that into the bay.

So does that mean you are not buying the engine Tim? If not, let me know as I was next in line for it. Tks!

No it doesn,t mean that. It means that I,m such a big hearted guy, I iwouldn,t like to se dillont in a pickle for a good engine. So if he needed to keep it for himself , I wouldn,t have a problem with that. Otherwse its mine I tell you ....all mine......my precious :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Is this what you are looking for dillont.
Only 700 ever made. Best bike that ever came out of the velocette stable was the Venom.
