Smile Bought a bike

Bought myself another motorbike on Sunday to take the load of my 1938 BSA Empire Star (which I've owned and used for 20 plus years now, including work and back most days during the summer months).
Saw it whilst just browsing the for sale adverts and thought 'i like the look of that, why not!'
Borrowed a friends bike trailer and towed it back with the tourer, no fuss and she didn't miss a beat - she's good like that.
Bike now safely chained up in the garage whilst I have a little fettle before it's MOT on Friday, can’t wait to get it on the road!

Anybody guess what bike it is (not my normal choice which would be 1930's British iron)

Thank you, i haven't really ridden it yet, not taxed or MOT'd at the moment.
Just finishing fettling it, new front pads to fit when they turn up and then change the brake fluid (hopefully before the MOT which is booked for 11.00am Friday), everything else is now done so hopefully it will pass!
