Drum brakes are unlikely to be compatible with ABS requirements and I doubt whether sticking a catalytic converter in that silencer is likely to satisfy future regulations unless fuel injection is adopted. Many of the outwardly attractive cheap machines currently on dealers forecourts are probably the last of the line because of tightening regulations so if you want one now is the time to look for a bargain. Unfortunately leaving the EU is unlikely to result in more sympathetic treatment of two wheelers which are traditionally unloved and unappreciated by the UK's own bureaucrats.
