Browsing some new bikes and stumbled across the following, it must have had something as it made me grin like a kid at Christmas.
Its the shear retroness of it that appeals over some of the similar bikes say from Ducati and Triumph, although the latter would have better specs and better build quality.

How cool is the classic cafe racer riding position?

Forget the 70mph top speed or the 22bhp grunt from the single cyclinder...I want to try it!

For a fraction of the price of the Norton, you could sort yourself out a 119mph big bore Cafe Racer kit for the Enfield.

Ahh OK. I wash mine once a week and rarely take it above 7k rpm (I need my bike to last more than I need it to go fast). But I don't really do any other maintenance. Enfield's are prolly not future bikes for me then  |
