Hi,
I am new to this site. I am based in the south of the UK and have just bought a July 1972 T120V (Engine and frame numbers match and begin HG )
I am puzzled. The registration document and the flashes on the side panels show it as a 750cc machine.
It has a 10 stud head duel carb head and the tappet covers each have 6 securing nuts. the primary transmision has a triplex chain. The bike is fitted with conical hubs with drum brakes.
I intend to strip the motor in the near future to determine exactly what cc it is.
What have I bought? Is it a 650 somebody has put a big bore kit on or is it a very early 750
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks in anyicipation
