excellent...

850 power!

im just on with a 1964 850 thats been 'hopped-up' with a pair of twin carbs.

i doubt they will make much difference!, but it shold be a slow but economical addition to the fleet!

bought for it in about 1968 by the 2nd owner - its getting rebuilt so its as near to spec as it was in the period he owned it
