I'm fancying a retro bike, would love an enfield but still convinced that I'll ether kill it or just end up servicing it each weekend from the daily 40 mile round trip of motorway,
Most of that is done filtering through traffic but with the occasional stretch reaching actual motorway pace.
I've had a sideways glance at the Yamaha SR400 and decided it's perhaps not powerful enough to have much in reserve on the hilly bits of motorway and so am back on considering a larger engined retro bike.
So, anyone actually ridden one?
Any other retro bikes I should consider? or should I just get an ER6F since I only ever commute?

Still, isn't a chromed-up bike is liable to take a cosmetic hammering? There seem to be a few W800s around for £5k-ish, enough to also get one of the Hinckley Triumphs like a Bonneville, if you have confidence in them as a commuter.
