One for you to think about....
Had a look on the BSA Regal site for info on the project...
BSA TEMPEST 2003
Twin 1,000cc 85 BHP
Top Speed: 120 MPH
An initial concept prototype, built in Southampton, using the British-designed and built 1000cc Rhind-Tutt Wasp engine. BSA tested the market with this traditionally styled, recognisably British motorcycle placing a strong emphasis on handling and usability. Although was well received by most reviewers, its true test came when the lack of firm orders resulted in the Tempest not going into production.
Remember reading about that bike....did it end up in a ...teapot, to borrow a phrase...?
ReplyDeleteOne of those Tempests isn't it? I remember seeing something in one of the maagzines a few years back about them but that was all.
ReplyDeleteWould be interesting to know what became of the idea.
