Actor Orlando Bloom takes his WW2 vintage motorbike for a spin. Can the experts ID it? The news article the photo is taken from gives no idea to the bikes manufacture.
Peter, that's a nice easy one. A BSA WM20. I believe one of the papers said he paid £7000 for it....and it's apparently got a dodgy magneto or condenser that makes it reluctant to start when it's warm. I wouldn't want to be famous and ride an old bike. There is a basic law of physics which applies to them and states that The ease of starting is inversely proportional to the number of persons watching The market value for a tidyish but not 100% original M20 certainly shouldn't be more than about £3000.
Hi Rich, thanks for the reply, thought you would have the answer. As for price, they must have seen him coming.
