Lot details
Registration No: OMK 128
Frame No: MU8902
Engine No: XXA47919
cc: 98
MOT Expiry Date: Feb 2001
Following the hostilities of World War II there was a massive demand for powered transport as the country went back to work and petrol rationing meant that often the most practical mounts were small capacity lightweight autocycles.
This powerbike has been the subject of a very good restoration and its 98cc engine offers a good level of performance and one that is easily compatible to the cycle parts. Included with the sale of this machine are the old green log book, the original owners guide and parts book and it still wears its original registration number.
It will bring back happy memories for many enthusiasts who can remember them buzzing round and those that had their first experience of motorcycling thrashing one round a field.
