Welcome!

I don't recognize this bike, anyone knows the original manufacturer? Nice bike, looks a bit like a KLR with that tank. Is that the stock tank?

Reread your post, for some reason i thought Loncin makes the engine only. I think they're the same engines used by Galaxy motorcycles.

Welcome, Bojer. Nice looking steed you've got there, and looking forward to reports of your new purchase. Lots of recent buzz in our forum about Loncin, as they seem to be getting a bit more market-focused and innovative with the launch of a sweet-looking 650 street bike last fall.

Hope you find our forum to be useful and friendly.

cheers

Sorry was not paying attention - the 604 does an easy 90mph + on the road but it is not the best thing for high speed roadwork - too much noise and vibes !

Sounds like you know what you are doing! make sure you come back with pics sometime, I would love to see some pics of the English country side from a 'bike, if there is any left.

I spent a few teenage years in Woburn area so also covered many of those lanes, on a 125 bantam stripped of everything unnecessary as every bit of manouverability and weight loss helped because it was designed to carry me, a folding shotgun and as many pheasants as I could stash in a rucksack tied behind me and then get away fast! The game-wardens only had Morris Minors so round the lanes i could always get away easily. they didn't manufacture bikes like yours back in those days else I would have had one

Even did Silverstone and some of the M1 in a GT40 owned by a mates father but thats another world.

Jape, that's an image of you that I'll cherish forever.

Thanks Jeff, I try to amuse ... in fact it was a 'game', a serious one however because the game-keepers shot at the lower body mass if in range and we knew them and they knew us. The Duke of Bedford didn't - which was what counted, one cannot steal from a man one has met after all. I did meet him later, socially, after I became acquainted and visited with his daughter, Tania, at the big house. Decent chap, thought he was the gardener at first in his ratty old tweeds with elbow patches. Nice place Woburn Abbey. We held a rock festival there as well.

Anyway, back to the story, that little beezer in street rig with a few minor pieces such as mudguards and seat taken off, would zip across (unplowed) fields and through the trees as if made for it. The unwritten (but fairly abided by) rule was that once we got to the back-door of the local hostelry, the Woburn Arms, we could sell our 'game' and would join the same keepers for a pint or two and a game of darts. They were not averse to puncturing the tyres and scratching the paint but for some reason they never worked out that they should block off the roads to the pub! Perhaps other villains with bigger 'sport' in mind would have objected. Grand days.

Kind of a Robin Hood moment, on two wheels. Thanks for sharing!
