This didn't hang around for long even at £7000!

They seem to be a bit short of stock at the moment.
I wonder what theyll have in next.
I bet anyone with a drum brake is rubbing his hands together.

mmm - indeed. I'd have thought 5K was doing well.

And what about this Saturno - £7500??

Always loved them since trying one at Benjy's years ago but that's rich!

I tryed the Saturno too. So uncomfortable, so i bought a grey import Nordwest from Benjy, which was quicker and handled better!! And £7000 for a drum braked sport, and not even a very good one. It had lots of things that were not correct.
I part ex'ed my 18 month old drum braked sport for an alloy wheeled sport, wow what a difference, so much better!!! Maybe i should have put it in the back of the garage instead!!!

Snap! I also bought a Nordwest, which lasted exactly 300 miles before a woman with a car full of kids "didn't see me" an wrote it off....

All you Saturno and Nordwest nostalgia trippers can call in here to see what's happening these days. I sold my Nordwest engined Saturno and the two Nordwests but I still have two GFRs.

Some people told me I paid too much for mine on ebay, but it was less than a front wheel assemly a week later.

It's looking like a very sound investment now.

As far as I know, 'The Founder' still has his very original 74 Sport in his garage, along with a Vincent and Parilla. I must try to persuade him to come to Cadwell this year (though it won't be on a bike).
