Anyone like British Motorcycles?

Post by fvtenfanatic »

Here is my new acquisition. It is a 2005 Royal Enfield Bullet 500 Continental. It is on its way to me in Seattle from Upstate New York. I have wanted this bike for a very long time and I finally found one and got the OK from the boss to buy it. What a Great Christmas Gift.

Always like the Look of British Bikes but they were unreliable and then the Japs came along.

These Royal Enfields are made in India. Heard of some issues also with these but look cool. I love the small bikes myself

here were my RD/RZs before I got rid of them last summer

Hey Hainz
I know all about these bikes. Most of the problems are caused
by improper break in. These bikes may be new but they really
Are built as they were in the 50's. So you can't treat them like modern
Bikes. If you remember that then they are great bikes.
