Newchurch vs street twin

Minis, now there's a misnomer!
You have to think they haven't got the right idea when they advertise one as the 'Biggest Mini so far" !

 

They could re-brand it the Maxi!

 

I think Allegro sounds like a good name, maybe give it a square steering wheel for authenticity.....

 

... and paint it in the colour that used to be known as "baby-shit yellow"

 

And a monster 46hp

Newchurch v Street Twin to Austin Maxi - what a thread!

 

Lateral thinking!

 

Now I can’t under that... actually, I had a Maxi as a “work car” when I was working as a freelance site engineer, young family, all that stuff.

Leaving apart the sloppy gearchange, weak engine and brakes, it was a good all-rounder for the time. I did a lot of miles in it, often heavily loaded and had no real problems.

 

Pack it in. They were utter shite, and ugly as.

 

Jumping in on this chat. I to believe the Sprint 955i was the best bike the 1050 nice but tall and vague handling slow and mid range. But can travel well. And again I think I would have chosen the Newchurch over the Street twin. and the 1200 bonnie had the same suspension problems. I spoke to Hagon at some length over the set up. They said they originally thought the rear spring was good till they tested it and not enough travel and vague spring preload. I fitted my bike with their progressive front and rear and it is totally different and responds well to corners were before it seemed to drift especially on right handers. But again they are all great bikes and no matter what we buy we will make it our own and adjust and fit the things we are used to and like.
