I'm 74 and have had a Midnight Black GoldStar for just over 12 months. Its never let me down and its a completely different character than any other bike being a big thumper. Unfortunately I've recently had a minor heart attack and have just come out of hospital so i can't ride for 7 days but i will soon be out and about. I heartedly (no pun) recommend one you won't be disappointed.

Best wishes for a full recovery, hope you get to enjoy many more riding days on the BSA. I have a T120 Bonneville Bobber, but am also very tempted by the BSA 'Thumper', I just wish there were more dealers for them about, particularly one closer to home.

Team RE350 here (am totally not biased due to owning one!) I have a Classic & love her but also have not ridden the BSA so cannot offer a comparison. Were I buying the 350 again then would consider the Bullet for that seat, not that the Classic isn't all day comfortable. What I would say despite 'the numbers' is that the little RE has surpassed all my expectations, tours inc' on motorways & carries a pillion. just fine

I've just fitted a booster plug to my 2018 T100 because of the snatchy throttle at slow speed and small throttle inputs. It's a huge improvement, smooth throttle at all speeds and it now ticks over at a steady 1000 rpm rather than fluctuating. Everything else is stock.

I think between BSA and RE you'll be served well by either. Ultimately I think you just have to put a list of side by side comparisons, and winner will appear. Obviously all the obvious questions, which is more comfortable? Which is more practical? Which looks better? Etc This weekend I bought a (new to me) second hand bike. It's my first proper bike rather than just riding a 125. I was thinking about getting an nc750x or cb500x, or possibly a royal enfield 650 or a second hand bonneville... Instead I took a massive left turn and got an amazing deal on a CBR400RR NC29. It scares me in the best of ways, and I've only revved it to 7k rpm when it will do 14.5k happily. Anyway, plenty of tinkering to do before I'm going to put it on the road.

I have been watching Freddie Dobbs on the BSA, I must admit I really like it, it looks nice, sounds awesome, plus the Enfield is getting too common now, if I was gonna get another I think it would be the BSA. Not a lot of people have then, so when you pull up at a coffee shop it attracts attention, unlike the Enfield which are 10 a penny. I would love to get the BSA but they are not available in Australia yet, maybe one day.. Cheers

I have been watching Freddie Dobbs on the BSA, I must admit I really like it, it looks nice, sounds awesome, plus the Enfield is getting too common now, if I was gonna get another I think it would be the BSA. Not a lot of people have then, so when you pull up at a coffee shop it attracts attention, unlike the Enfield which are 10 a penny. I would love to get the BSA but they are not available in Australia yet, maybe one day.. Cheers

Your money your choice mate. I suspect you would prefer a 650 over a 350. If it had been an aircooled single id have been very tempted myself . But The Rotax is not retro at all and for me the whole bikes retro looks are totally killed by that massive rad.

You should now rename yourself Willy Nilly, given the amount of mind changing you do 😅 I'd still plump for the 350 though.
