Timmy H 424 Posted October 8 Report Share Posted October 8 Been thinking of another bike recently but didn't want anything too quick or heavy, didn't want to spend a bomb on insurance either so I started looking at Royal Enfields. Found this one, 1 year old, loads of extras, luggage and heated grips, 2 years warranty left and fsh. Pick up at the weekend! 13 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wanted a black bird for a few years but never got one had a go on father in laws the other month and I felt a bit let down yes it was quick but the handling was not as good as my vfr 800 fi and his brakes was shocking ( maybe the pads he had in ?) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jok 3,221 Posted October 9 Report Share Posted October 9 Hi VFR. Long time. You must think that was what seemed like an age ago. Clearly modern bikes have improved dramatically and handling so much better. (Mine was the original carb version). I remember getting in a spat, leaving Silverstone, with a geezer on a Busa. Mate he gave up I kid you not. In the day they were awesome. Jok. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
