I have to say at first look I like it. Styling reminds me of the 70s Honda 750four.


A friend of mine was telling me about this yesterday on the phone and I was looking at it online. I really like it.
Surely if bumbling along and taking in the view is your bag, why have the Bonny over the Enfield?!
Ok, the Bonny is faster and has more power but who says it's going to be more reliable?
If reliability is a factor, wouldn't a Honda or a BMW be the way to go?
I like the Enfield. Long may they prosper in the land of the sacred cow and God bless all who sail in her !

I sure get the attraction of an "antiquey" bike. (Last week was me slobbering over the smaller, underpowered Janus motorcycle) And I really did the same kind of slobbering over a Bullet a few years back. But for me, the price point is way too close for something that resembles a modern Triumph, which is also looking the part of the earlier bikes. If I DID buy a RE, it's still probably be the smaller Bullet for it's retro styling. I admire the bike and RE, just not totally sold on their reliability. By the way, how many miles did you have on your Bullet and how reliable was it?
