BLUROC X-BONGO 125cc

Always regretted selling my Honda Monkey.

It was so much fun driving it.

Not to make long journeys but as a city commuter it was perfect.

Now a new bike caught my eye.

Almost half the price of the monkey.

It’s the Bluroc X-Bongo.

 Some of the good points that the Bluroc X-Bongo has……

-      Alloy Swing arm, you will be paying a good few hundred pounds at if you want one on your Honda.

-      It has a 4-speed gearbox like the old Monkey.
Not a 5-speed overdrive, you just keep switching between 4th and 5th gear. 

    4 gears is more than enough for a small bike.

-      It has a 428 chain not a 420 like the Honda.

-      Larger 8 Liter fuel tank for improved range.
Approximately 325 km.

-      Nice Speedo with lots of info.

-      USB connector.

MATCHLESS 600cc ABSAF G85 CS

 MATCHLESS ABSAF G85 CS

ABSAF, in full the Appingedammer BSA Factory, has acquired an international reputation with what we can best describe as improved replicas of the already illustrious 500 cc BSA Gold Star single-cylinder OHV.

Meanwhile, ABSAF has broadened its range with an equally illustrious Matchless single burner. 

ABSAF, whose Gold Star blocks are almost mandatory in international classic racing for those who want to race with BSA's, produces the Matchless block in the size that the original factory in Plumstead also supplied, 500 cc, but also in a size more, namely  a 600 cc. 

At Matchless the 500 cc model was called the G80CS and in its latest version the G85CS and ABSAF has of course kept those names, although that the 600 cc engine is called G85CS here.
