GP makes it to the states in 1948


The GP makes it to the states 18 months after its creation. The factory line about it being only slightly modified from the T100 is a bit of a stretch, but it did get OK'd for Class C competion. Deliverable 90 days from time of order.

The Daytona beach bike 1948. Dig the cuffed denims and lace up boots.





The machine was quickly adapted to West Coast racing with the addition of California Bars, small competion gas tanks and track pipes.
