    RE C vs CO

    in Motorcycles

    Posted

    Hi everyone,

    I became interested in what was listed by a dealer as a civilianised CO but after abit of reading up found it wasa side valve C. I know the OHV is more powerful and seen as a superior bike in general. It will be my first classic / vintage bike, already own a modern 650 RE and  happy to learn about / maintain the bike being ex reme. 

    So my main question I guess would be should I shy away from the Cs, is there a notice increase in performance. What kind of price difference is there between the two.

     

    The main use of the bike would be a jollys to the beaches in France and the WW1 battlefields. Dover is not massively far (I live in essex). I have order the book 1925-1945 British motorcycles as a reference but its yet to arrive. 

    Any feedback / advice is more than welcome.

    Cheers

    Olly
