Got the bike itch again.


Recommended Posts

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!

Fastest thing on 2 wheels when brought out. I had it for quite a few years and loved it. Fastest I ever went was when over in Assen. Jok.

I wouldn’t dare have 1 as I would be dead in a week,I was brought up with bikes but love the power to much.If I ever did get 1 I was thinking of the H2 

I’ve had a lot of bikes over the years I was a courier for 15 year before I started playing with trains if I had something like this I’d give myself a week tops but my god what a great way to die, turn your speakers up.

No power in this one, 20bhp. It's just a plodder.

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 ?)

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.
