Hi All

I have a 2006 Bullet 350, you know, 4 speed back to front gearbox (1 up, 3 down) right footed gear change !! And I love it, but, as has been mentioned, needs looking after & tinkering, but nothing too drastic, just have to keep an eye on vibrations, loosening bolts, oh yeah, and the breather pipe.

I rarely use it as a commuter, but do occasionally, it's more of a purely fun bike, for commuting I use my Mash 400 much more now, as that has a lot of the character of the Enfield, but more suited to more regular, constant use.

Here's my Enfield

Wow that is a lovely bike!

My BSA had the same shifting and it was a challenge going back and forth between it and other bikes.

Your Enfield is very true to the traditional British formula. The 'modern RE's are very close but your's is spot on!

Lovely bike, thanks for sharing the pic :-)
