The popularity of this remarkable machine continues all over the world. More than half of the production is exported each year and, as evidence of the confidence placed in its reliability, R.A.C. Patrolmen have covered over 100,000,000 miles on these machines during the last ten years.
A bonded clutch and modified gear ratios have been introduced to make gear changing smoother and allow the rider to take full advantage of the flexibility of the famous single cylinder engine.
Fully enclosed rear chain case is available as an extra; straight handlebars are optional. Colours: Forest Green or Black and Silver.
Identical in specification to the model ES.2 except for a smaller engine capacity, this machine is equally famous for its reliability and capacity for hard work. Modified gear ratios and a bonded clutch are improvements in this year's model. The lively single cylinder engine, "Featherbed" frame and world famous "Roadholder" front forks are features which contribute to the success of this splendid machine.
