Boy, that's a pretty bike. Price does seem reasonable. How do these bike ride & perform? I don't mean in comparison to a modern VTwin with sticky tires, but in comparison to other 250 bikes of the 50's-60's like maybe a BMW single or maybe early Ducati single like a Monza with small carb. I'm guessing it's a fairly sedate bike to ride?
a friend has a BMW single , those are for sure slower. not sure about early ducati singles , the ones i am familiar with are the sixties/seventies ones , those are ( a lot) faster. the airone is a fifties motorcycle , pretty lacking compared to current bikes , but that is part of the charm...

In reference to another thread currently active. Now THIS is exotic.
A friend has a 1948 500 cc version with exposed valve gear, he let me try it out. The rear brake pedal takes some getting used to, besides being on the left hand side it's also behind the footpeg.I was flying up to a 4 way stop and applied the front brake just to have the nipple pull off the cable, luckily nothing was coming as I shot through the stop without brakes, as I said the rear takes some getting used to. Apart from that it's a nice bike to ride, sort of like a loop on steroids.
