Well, you live and learn. Never even heard of this derivation.........I quite like it!

Are they Lester?
They bought it at Stafford auction a couple of months ago. Failed to sell on eBay last time, I think it got to £8k+. Still an interesting bike.

£8,000 for an ugly bike that is probably, far less of a sorted bike than many in this pub build and far superior mechanically too. It is different though. Its trump card but not to my taste. Trolls, please don't turn this into a 10 pager just because I don't have the same opinion as you.

Sweet dreams.
You probably wont scroll down as much as I did so will have missed this.

Not my favorite bike of all but one of the simplest nice colour schemes I have seen. Each to his own, beauty in
the eye of the beholder and all of those other cliches (spelt wrong but, you know what I mean, I don't speak french) but it is nice.
Edit: I've just opened the second reference and it is the same as the first but, if you keep scrolling down on the second one, a large picture of the GS will appear on your screen. I'm crap with computers

They are. Those nightmares I DO remember.....
Lester wheels looked quite smart when they were fitted to a T140D

Agreed re the looks, but it is the quality I was referring to.........shocking to say the least. Cracks galore, very poor assembly and quality control, and if I remember right I think Lester were pretty much sued out of existence...
I didn't know that

Mmmm. I’ve had Lester wheels on my r100/7 for over 100,000 Miles. I had replacement bearings fitted in the late 1980’s by my local dealer (Slocombes) and have had no trouble with them. Now I am now using them on my r100rt. By the recent comments made I must have had ones that weren’t built on a Friday or I’ve been lucky.
