Motorcycles don't come any more "retro", I suppose. Yeah, they're nice lookin' little babies, alright.

However Leonard, I gots ta disagree with ya about that there "They don't need a larger engine, 500cc's is more than most people need for everyday riding" quote o' yours, ol' buddy.

You see, that 500cc puttin' out only 27bhp ain't gonna cut it for most folks who have ridden motorcycles for any length of time.

Yep, I have taken one of the new fuel-injected REs for a little test ride and thought it a fun little scoot, but riding it down to the local 7-11 for a pack of smokes would probably be all I'd ever use it for if I'd ever purchase one, 'cause it's...well...sloooooooow, to be blunt about it.

(oh yeah, and you're right...the bike DOES vibrate just like any old brit single ever did)


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
