Royal Enfield: Sensational!


In a world of uber performance, speed and gluttonous proportions I found the news that the little motor company that can was going to re-import their new and improved Bullet model to Canada. The last time around wasnt stellar. Reliability and quality were pitiful. I was drawn to the bikes then but couldnt for the life of me pull the trigger. I was sure that selling my Ninja 900 to buy an Enfield would have sapped my spirit had I always been tugging on wrenches, which would have been the case.
The New Bullets, especially the C5 has got my attention again. Fuel injection and updated metalurgy are signs of things future. However more than a nod to the past is represented in styling. Ill say no more now as this picture was snapped at our local Enfield dealer. Looks good here. Looks gorgeous in person!
