First, never heard of these bikes so coming back to bike making is a non-event to me. http://www.autoblog.com/2014/06/25/ariel-ace-motorcycle-official/ And second, I'll admit, I'm not ready to ride this bike -- Locals here call a motorcycle, a 'Motor' ... This Ariel reminds me of a motor or maybe just a crankcase ... What could be in those cases that dwarf the cylinder heads?
Maybe just another sage in motorcycle re-branding? -- Old enough to have ever ridden with that funky front-shock front end type? This can't be the first production bike made like that ..
