Seen at the Saturday bike show at the Northwich Thundersprint Amongst the vintage, modern classic, and bikes that owners have restored just because they like them, was this NTV. Does that mean that the NTV is now a modern classic? Not entirely original, and some of you might object to the colour, (though I like it), it might even belong to a member on here. Just thought you might find it interesting. Micawber.

Nice condition, as you say, some non standard components, but I only noticed: Stainless braided front brake pipe The seat - interesting ;D I wonder if that is a Corbin? Silencer Curiously, the grab rails under the side rear side panels, which are black.
The colour isn't for me though!

Same silencer as mine. Grab rail and matching side fixings.. my grab rail needs some tlc and matched in black could help it look less random.. And the seat, well posh. Can't say its my fav colour but each to their own. Very well turned out though. We need to make club cards to take to events to hand out, or tuck into seats if the owners are not there

I looks nice, especially the seat Is it just me, or the lighting, but it seems the engine is black on one side.....and the original colour on the other?

Thanks Wavey I've got that silencer as well and the shiny fork legs on the old girl I'm doing up now but I shall have to see if I can find out about that seat, think it would finish off the project nicely. Mind you when I see the price I'll probably change my mind. Mick.

Yer mine is a motad as well. how did I miss her legs, very nice. I have been giving the seat lots of thought and have to agree I suspect one that flash will cost stacks. I do like the idea of a rear bump (single seat look). The bit I did like about this seat was that it looked to be able to stop the rearard slide and leave room for the occasional passenger. Currently I am looking out for a tatty seat to strip then add a hump and recover. The other Blue Peter option is there is also a firm near me that does it so I will probably swing by there and get a quote. www.saxonseats.co.uk/covers/covers.html

Hubcap spent most of the Sat talkin to the guy about his ntv & other bikes & she got james toselands autograph
Yes the ntv is sweet too..................not as good as fingers though
P.S did you notice the tatty looking Suzuki B120 (mine) & ratty looking Honda CG125 (hubcaps)

Yep, seat had Bagster printed on the back I seem to recall.
Very pretty NTV, right put ours to shame, so shiny and pretty.
Was hoping to run into him on the Sunday, or at least spot him in the cavalcade but we missed it.
And I got more than just an autograph of JT, too!
