I'm getting on board

65bellett · 05-08-2010, 02:15 AM

Hi Guys I am a daily rider from just outside Melbourne Australia. I have been riding pretty daily for the last 5 or 6 years.

My main interest in motorcycles is Enfields of India. This keen interest has gotten me to the point where I am looking for something to ride 40 kms to and from work every day while I finish building my extremely developed bullet proof 350 Enfield Bullet.

I have decided on monday to go and buy my self a Kinlon 200 Super Moto. It looks like a good cheap commuter bike and I am quite used to the daily maintenance involved in riding a non japanese bike.

Wish me luck

Welcome aboard, be sure to post up some photos of both bikes !

Welcome!

X2 on the photos. I really like those Indian Enfields, although not as much as the CJ750 (minus the sidecar).

Welcome to these forums!

If you get time, I would also love to see some photos from "down under."

Thanks for the welcome guys, it seems you have a really active forum here which is great. I am at work at the moment but once I get home I will put a few pics of bike trips up.

I am trying to find out as much info as I can about the loncin 193cc motor that is used in the kinlon 200 I am about to buy. If any body has any links they can point me to that would be great.

Weldangrind I am a huge fan of the cj750 especially the solo model. I have looked into getting one a few times but any thing already in the country they want huge dollars for and the few people I contacted about importing one made me feel a bit nervous. Hopefully as I become more familiar with this forum I might be able to put one in the shed (SWMBO won't be pleased).

SWMBO! That's awesome, I hadn't heard that one.

One of our forum members imported a CJ750 into the States; I encourage you to search the forums for it. Perhaps he can guide you.

Cheers!

Thatâ€™s interesting that the Enfieldâ€™s came up, they sell them here in the US and they are not bad prices on the 499cc, thatâ€™s all they are offering the base model is just under $6k.
