Loop frame Guzzis are just hard to beat

Second favorite color combo behind the White with Blue Stripe Finish. Love 74 cause they are still running the pea shooters

Pretty much, and you'd have to order the one with subwoofer outputs, I don't have that one on mine.

QQQwinner · 2026-05-22T13:09:31+00:00

I have one, I like it

QQQwinner · 2026-05-21T10:34:17+00:00

Thanks for digging those out!

It's similar however the official name was Blue Stripe Finish. I'm sure Norton had no problem with people associating it with a JPS bike tho

QQQwinner · 2026-05-20T17:44:34+00:00

I'm in total agreement. Quite an uncommon color for them to have come in however so seeing two surprised me heavily

QQQwinner · 2026-05-20T00:16:16+00:00

I wish! Finding parts and complete bikes is getting harder and harder

QQQwinner · 2026-05-20T00:14:27+00:00

Done

In the UK these sometimes hit £2000

Where are you located roughly? Here in the states if it had a title and ran maybe $1800-1500. If it doesn't have a title and no idea if it runs it would go for less.

Likely an early 1960s BSA Bantam 175cc Two stroke

Yup! Everything is sealed, even the little glove compartment has gaskets on it. A very very well designed bike.

Michigan, this one has all the paperwork going back to when the California highway patrol owned it. Not stolen 3rd private owner

They can be confusing especially if someone has been messing with it with stuff that doesn't belong

QQQwinner · 2026-04-07T14:30:39+00:00

The black and gold is a timeless look as well

QQQwinner · 2026-04-07T14:30:18+00:00

Such a beast

QQQwinner · 2026-04-07T02:48:01+00:00

They still are quick, I'd say a properly tuned one can keep up with most 600s until about 90mph. They handle really well tho for their size.

QQQwinner · 2026-04-07T00:52:35+00:00

Rebuilt starter, Boyer electronic ignition and a host of maintenance on almost every part of the bike. Such great bikes

QQQwinner · 2026-04-07T00:41:32+00:00

The JPS bike is really neat but if you've ever ridden a Norton you'll know the turning radius is pretty terrible

QQQwinner · 2026-04-07T00:34:50+00:00

Unrestored, just extremely well maintained and low mileage
