I also developed an interest in Royal Enfield but, life reared it's ugly head and decided to give me a stroke last year so my riding days are over. I think you'd be happy with a RE. They make excellent products. RE was the only brand, for me, that brought back the mental joy I used to have for riding. Last edited by rd1959; 02-10-2024 at 03:10 PM. |

Thank you. Yes, it does suck. Well, at least I had almost 50 years of fun. The thing that's most upsetting now is seeing all the retro bikes coming out, styled like the bikes from the 70s I learned to ride on. I blame Royal Enfield for making the INT650 at a time I couldn't afford to buy one, lol.

Sorry to hear about your stroke. I was raised by a dad in a wheelchair because of a stroke. He was 46 when he had his. Keep up the fight. He eventually got out of the chair and was able to drive again.
Regarding the RE's, I'm a huge fan. Great bikes for the bucks. Also a fantastic history and heritage.

The thing that pisses me off more than anything is the timing. The manufacturers waited so long to bring back the 60s/70s style retro look starting with the Kawasaki W8OO, then Royal Enfield's INT650 and Continental models I didn't get a chance to try any of them out. It feels like they conspired to play a dirty trick on me. LOL |
