The Royal Enfield is the perfect solution for me. ALL the class, pleasure, feel, panache and history of other Brit bikes, but with modern fuel injection, electronic ignition, unit construction, disc brake, and 5 speed and a 3 year warranty to make it a great daily rider.

I assume, and hope, the RE uses standard metric hardware.
