I did my apprenticeship in a Suzuki/Kawasaki dealer. I was always amazed by how small and light these were. The Katana wasn't great on twisty roads. It could do 140 mph, though, in a straight line.
I'm old enough to remember these sitting in the dealership. It also sold Suzuki and BMW. British bikes looked amazing. I couldn't talk my older brother into buying one though. He did buy a Beemer though.
My next door neighbor in the US has a '73 T150 triple. Something magical about early British bikes. Have a few HD's and Japanese 4 bangers in the garage. Would love this as it's buddy. Beautiful. Thanks gents.
Lovely and light, perfect for roads neither straight, wide or level.

I had the the exact same bike even down to having the rubber knee pads removed from the tank, loved it and always regretted selling it.

£5.6k sounds pretty reasonable to me.

Late British bike
Anyone know how many Jubilee models made
@@rodneygunn788 Any British bike made in the 70's is not late manufacture. 1st gen., not this stuff made currently. Early. wouldn't ride a new one.
@@patrickmoran3363 2000 total.
What a pretty bike!
Very nice indeed and sounds very sweet !
Dreambike🤩👍🏻.
You need a congestion charge for the yard. I hope all these cars and vans are minding the potholes. Nice bike, sounds great.
An absolute bargain when compared to the 250. I preferred the teardrop tank on aesthetic grounds.
I'd not noticed before that they reverted to chrome clutch and brake levers.
Blue looks lighter than l remember?
Sadly, these were going for this price ten years ago.
They aren't making any more Boomers like us. 😂
Kids want a silver Jubilee video game.
Dosnt get much better than that
Check out my 1973 Bonneville, somewhat modified So Cal style: ua-cam.com/video/ip6rU0z54YU/v-deo.html
Not a fan of the jubilee paint scheme myself. Wasnt at the time. But it's a sweet sounding bike
Regal!!
Nice
Left side gear change..
Who on earth designed those indicators, they’d have to go.
