terminator Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I have always assumed it was a RE Villiers 150 but cant seem to match it up with any model. Take no notice of the transfer got nothing to do with it lol. http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r180/terminator_020/100_0266.jpg http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r180/terminator_020/100_0268.jpg http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r180/terminator_020/100_0267.jpg Why they stuck these transfers on ive no idea just for fun or a clue maybe ?

Guest Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Very similar to a BSA Bantam D1 1949-53 but stays were straighter than that. Many bikes had that type of guard around 1950 and it may even be foreign - not an MZ ES though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep been through Bantams im sure it is British.There again you never know, It did come with loads of Enfield and Villiers spares many years ago.Been on loads of bike sites plenty idea,s what its off but checked and can not get a match.Not as though its worth much just anoying not knowing after all Brits ive had and worked on lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terminator Posted March 4, 2011 Author Share Posted March 4, 2011 I thought Jawa, but I can't see an exact match in google images.Cant remember to be honest if ive checked Jawa it would have to be somthing small not realy had much to do with jawa only 350s.Its out of reach at moment to measure it but it would have to be narrow folks somthing like 125/150/200 cant see it being anything bigger. This is almost it but not exact http://classic-motorbikes.net/images/gallery/1948-bsa-bantam-d1.jpg http://www.d-law.talktalk.net/images/home_1_00.jpg http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/uploads/cars/bsa/1792561.jpg Moulding and other brackets nothing like it.But would recon its that the type of size folks it would be off.
