In praise of the new Enfield's, as much as i have criticised the old iron barrel indian enfield i owned, I have to say a lad at my local bike club bought a new efi enfield just at the end of september.
He is a rather large chap, as is his missus - he traded in a BMW 1200 RT.
So since buying it in Late September he added a top box and panniers, and both him and his missus have clocked up over 3000 trouble free miles, he is not what i would call mechanically inclined so jumps on and rides it, all weather and anywhere.
Talking to him last week he was saying how much both he and his missus love the bike, find it easy to ride and very very comfortable. They do look a bit like a cartoon both squeezed on the bike - but hey ho ! it's really working for them.
I hope it continues to work for them and stays reliable. It's nice to hear a positive slant on these bikes.
Tchus and merry christmas to all. Jake.
