Yes, absolutely. Ahead of its time, I said: it was introduced in 1972, and had a stunning - for a roadgoing 250 - topspeed of 160 km/h (100 mph). Lightweight too: 126 kg. Pointless electronic ignition was also a feature that was quite uncommon. Never became very popular though.

I went with a friend to look at a √4, he ended up buying it after some haggling, price paid Sterling 5 pounds! we took it to his house, changed plugs etc, etc and it fired up, he rode it for many years after that.

Unfortunately this was 46 years ago, doubt there are any more bargains like that out there! 

Kicked myself many times since then! ????

Not sure it is JG.

I could be wrong, but that may just be an early "plain" HRD before the Vincent bit.

Needs investigating further.

I need either a pat on the head or a kick up the arse..........
