What an absolute beauty-takes me back to 1959 when as 11 year olds we could only dream of Rocket Gold Stars, Bonnies Vincents etc :'( :lol

Interesting site and a nice bike, but this is more me especially as I have two 550 fours to do up one day, when I have the time.

Nice bike.

And thankfully it wasn't a thread about getting your prostate checked.

Yes I remember them well.  I had one friend with a 500 four L reg 4 pipes I had the 400 f2 lfu450r and a friend of a friend had the  550f I think is  was an r plate you could go out for a ride just to listen to the sound track as the 500 had a piper 4-1 and I had an Alpha 4-1 with the larger baffle fitted as it came with two sizes. Oh well happy days. :)
