There's an interesting feature in this month's Classic Bike Guide about the Carberry V-twin, which is now going into production. At £8,000 it's very tempting...

I have No 8 of the original Australian build Carberry's. Great jigger. Lopes along with lots of torque. If I want to get around a bunch of coners quickly though - give me my Interceptor any day.

I would like the bike as well as the magazine. He's spent a lot of time and determination getting it this far. Looks fun.

kudos to mr Carberry for making this motorcycle.



but one has to think to the future with this:

for example he is a soul builder not a manufacture, this means that he has no obligation to do anything than sell his build.

thus he can simply stop tomorrow and has no obligation to deliver parts for the next 10 years after the last year of his build

as manufactures do have to do this, so your insured that you’ll still have parts for the next 10 years.

let alone al off the paperwork to get this thing on the road, and having a good change to having a paperweight with wheels on it.



technically a V type engine is the worst choice of engine to make, be it a V2,3,4,5 in line.

the rear cilinder(s) always traps the heat of the front cilinder, for example there a reason why they call’d the Honda RC30 the chimney.

the RC30 even with its water cooling was constantly running in his 90°c as soon as there was not enough air getting trough the radiator’s ie. slow traffic.

the body work aded even more to this effect.



the lateral 2 cilinder like the old and new enfield is a better way to go.

plus your insured for all of the parts for at least 10 years.

on the Carberry your only ensured with the EFI cilinderheads

the five speed gearbox is on its last year off its 10 year run.



really nice butt ill pass.
