Even though this dude has one of them there "funny accents" (and I'm sure ALSO spells certain words with that oh so needless and superfluous letter 'U') I thought his comparison "test" between the motorcycle in question here and the latest Triumph T120 was fairly evenhanded and well done...

(...my only complaint being here that this bloke should have perhaps compared Triumph's latest model T100 to the RE, as it's not only closer in displacement to the RE, but also price-wise)


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)
