Talk:Douglas Dragonfly

Special Category for British Motorcycles
As part of the Motorcycling WikProject I am working though all the missing articles and stubs for British Bikes. To make things easier to sort out there is a special Category:British motorcycles Please add to any British motorcycle pages you find or create. It will also help to keep things organised if you use the Template:Infobox Motorcycle or add it where it is missing. I've linked the Category to the Commons Motorcycles of Britain so you could help with matching pics to articles or adding the missing images to the Commons.

All-new chassis, updated engine... what about this was an old design?
From the introductory paragraph: ...the 1955 Dragonfly was new styling around an old design.

From the Development section: ''Aiming to overcome the outdated image, designers were commissioned from the Reynolds Tube Company to develop a completely new open duplex frame of welded tubing, including a swinging arm with twin Girling dampers (state of the art for the time) with leading link front suspension. The strengthened and streamlined 348cc engine had a modern coil ignition AC generator and distributor, with bolt-through cast iron cylinders and heads and duralumin pushrods.''

Does anyone else see these two statements as being contradictory?
