Love that last bit hahah. So not really got a clue how far the engine has run :p. May as well clock it to 0 for all that matters.

But I like the look of her, but it's somewhat different to the Multi you were originally wanting :p. I think it offers less protection than your Duke did :p.
 
I'm not a fan of most 'classic looking' bikes but that looks simply brilliant. And even if it did have reliability issues, working on it would be a doddle.

Buy it, you know you want to. You would be using it purely for weekend pleasure rides, right?.
 
The newer one have electric start and kickstart and I believe the 2009 and later models have F.I.

They are slow, slow as a family sized car from what I read. (want the trials version soooo much!) but they are easy to fix which is also encouraged by RE so make sure you have the tools ready.

I have seen a Bullet and wow that 500cc single sounds great!

I say go for one for slow rides with a feel for history, I know I will eventually :D
 
That looks like a sidecar rear tyre - don't try getting your knee down :D

A friend of mine had an old Avon Deathmaster tyre on a back of his GT185 many years ago that had a square profile like that. Being a skint student he stuck it on the center stand with the engine running and in gear, and then used a surform to re-profile the tyre. Worked a treat and gave a nice round profile which made it feel much better to ride.

My uncle bought one of the MCN special edition Enfields a few years back. It was a lovely little bike, but ultimately he wanted something a bit quicker (and now has an RSV4!).
