The Black Douglas Sterling – a classic motorcycle with a very modern heart

"... a very modern heart."... Some ebikers might say it has a Black Heart (burning "petrol"), then proceed to stuff that tank with lithium cells. (And grumble how it's hard to pedal...)
[Sigh] So. A couple of hub motors?

Even the name hints at the Bristol-based Douglas firm that was among Britain’s leading early marques, winning its first Isle of Man TT in 1912, and establishing a reputation for flat-twin roadsters that lasted until production ended in the Fifties.
But the Black Douglas is very different. It’s a new bike: designed in Birmingham, produced near Milan, and powered by a 230cc, single-cylinder engine from China. Far from being a fragile piece of history best appreciated by elderly enthusiasts, the Sterling is a modern motorcycle that combines its old-school look with simplicity of use.
