stuessenhigh Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 I THINK..its because 1965 was the first "modern" bike. A Bultaco....ridden and designed? by Sammy Miller. SO the "old" bikes are considered before that period. Might be TOTALLY wrong on that..but I think I'm somewhere close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charliechitlins Posted September 26, 2004 Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 The '52 (I think) RE is still being made in India, virtually the same as they were back in the day. Does anybody know if any of these are finding their way into vintage trials? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
