Classic Bike in the UK about 20 years ago had an issue featuring roadgoing Manxes.

Rather expensive, but quite do-able.

Remember that manxes had externally oiled valve guides - that is tough to get around, unless you want the authentic oily look.


Bear in mind though that any modern Rotax or Jappa trail bike is a DOHC usually 650cc, with more ponies than a Manx - off the showroom floor, with warranty. And 6 speed box. You sometimes see them dressed up as a Manx or G50 - shops in Tokyo had alloy tanks and dress-up bits in dichromate (gold) color to bolt on to complete the look. A FRACTION of the price of the real thing. With warranty...
