Hi, I would like to know the whereabouts of Walwin motorcycles. There should be about 10 or 15 out there somewhere.
They were built between 1958 to 1972.

BAB 6H was (from memory) the Bantam engined bike ridden in the 1970 SSDT?

I certainly have a photo of it in an album somewhere, taken at the Gorgie Cattle Market on the Sunday late afternoon after it had being weighed in. It is being given the "once Over" by Puch rider, Walther Luft from Austria. It doesn't show the whole bike, but it does show the top of the motor upwards and the reg number clearly.

PM me if you want to see the photo?

The other one was a four-stroke BSA motor, probably C15 I think.

Definately have a photo of BAB 6H.
