@classicmotorcyclechannel: 1977 XS500C (498cc parallel twin cylinder engine). This is a UK specification bike. Owner and rider in shot is Simon Spiers. Simon was telling us that these were unreliable in their day but these days if you get the engines put together properly they're fine. Location is The VMCC’s Snow-Mann regularity trial and hill climb, East Sussex, UK. Thank you to Simon Webb and the VMCC crew for having us along on the day.
