I like that except for one stupid little thing. Why can't they make the clocks the same size?

Many of the Meteor 350 guys are looking to upgrade to it, but even though it's geared differently to the Inteceptor for more lower down oompf, I can't see me spunking £7.4k just for another cylinder.

More choice is always good and at first glance it looks like they've put some effort in. Bit pricey though for what it is.

I like the look of 'Haywards of Cambridge' which also looks
'Marvellous' and 'Splendiferous' in an old school bike shop way ..

Having seen a few reviews now I'd have to pass. If I was going for a big meaty bike I'd want a bigger engine too. Maybe 1200cc like the Speedmaster is excessive but I'm sure there would be enough room in the frame for RE to step up to 900cc Thinking

There are quite a few grasstrack racers working on supercharging the 650 twin motors. Perhaps a bolt-on blower kit may be in the offing at some point...
