Van Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 How about an old Husquivarna 500, mid '30's ?? Cheers Van
DeBenGuzzi Posted February 23, 2006 Author Posted February 23, 2006 gnome rhome 500cc about 19something 79697[/snapback] How about an old Husquivarna 500, mid '30's ?? Cheers Van 79724[/snapback] No and No. Gee this is getting interesting. Might make it a whole day this time.
mdude Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 MAG engined Lady from Antwerp, 500 ccm, 1926 haha, found your refuge! EDIT: it might also be a Standard Tourer BT500, 1932 with the same engine, very similar in design

EDIT: it might also be a Standard Tourer BT500, 1932 with the same engine, very similar in design 79742[/snapback] Well its established, a 500cc MAG engine, otherwise Wrong, wrong and wrong. This isn't a prototype apparently a short lived higher end production bike for its time. Had many neat accessories.
mike wilson Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 Weird. Twin exhausts, saddle tank, well rim tyres, drum brakes, slopnig engine and electric lights place it around 1930 but ungated gearlever is much earlier. Proprietary gearbox and engine. Could be one of thousands of manufacturers. I'll just take the wildest guess at Imperia, date 1929. Model is very odd, as it has "touring" accoutrements (wide tyres, decent mudguards) but an unsilenced exhaust. I'll plump for "sports" model.
mdude Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 its killing me, this. DeBen is going to get me sacked It looks a lot like the Motosacoche bikes of 1933-35 except for the exhaust (whoc might be special), and the tilted engine. I havent seen one bike with a tilted MAG-engine like this since lunch, except a race special from 1928. Also some of the Condor bikes is similar...like the Grand Sport of 1931... The engine must be the Sport Luxe engine, which seems to be the lates model., pointing to a date later than 1930...

That dinky little toolbox on the back should be a stylistic giveaway but, again, no sign of anything like it so far. m

Its a little more rare than a Motosacoche It is just using their engine similar to say Ural I assume(I hope I didn't give too much away ), and I did say they were a little ahead of and Higher line for their time. You ppl are getting close. I'm becoming worried.
DeBenGuzzi Posted February 24, 2006 Author Posted February 24, 2006 different view of a slightly later bike but almost the same.
Van Posted February 24, 2006 Posted February 24, 2006 l got it !!!! it's a '58 Sportster, with the early, and very rare Buell Blast option!!!! Cheers van
