I have a 70yo radio that has a much better tone than anything modern when it comes to AM.

"Only six owners since 1984" seems like a weird metric.

Presumably it had 322 ones before 1984.

MOT exempt anyway. The vehciles which are the most likely to fall apart and/or be maintained by an old giffer with failing eyesight and the ones which don't require a safety inspection.

IIRC a favourite sport in the 60/70/80s was taking a bog standard BSA 500 and modifying it to at least look like a Goldstar. With a 1984 reistration I would be VERY suspicious.

And a Rocket is something else entirely.

A registration date of 1984 for an alleged '50s Goldie would set alarm bells ringing for me. With this age of bike provenance is everything, and that's precisely what's missing.

Along with the gear change lever, of course...

322 ones is just 322
