What a cool freakin bike. I would rather be seen riding this thing through town then a big custom "chopper"

Now thats class. Not what you would expect in the American motorcycle market.

I would prefer the 500 Military. But basically the same bike.

A 22hp single for $5000?


I think I'd rather have...

Glad to see R.E. went back to the solo seat. One less post-purchase mod to make... :mrgreen:

If I was retired with time on my hands to tinker, I'd have a Bullet. The sound of a vintage big single is like nothing else!! :D

But when did they go back to coil springs, all the newer ones I seen have side coil springs.

Well yeah, if you are going for practicality. But as far as a piece of eye candy goes, the Royal Enfield takes the cake. Much better IMO then these bazillion dollor customs.

It's just got class, and is not vulgar like the others.

The military version is pretty awesome. But if I were going that route then I would go for the Ural gear up.

Oh my god! I'd love to have the military!

I'd get one of those in a heartbeat if I had the cash. I'd get a whole matching outfit for it as well. Brain bucket and try to fit a leather helmet over it and some leather goggles. That'd be fun :D
