Retro

I feel a little guilty after the post on the pavement-wrinkler (below), so to balance it out here's the goods on the classically-styled (that's a fancy way of saying it's the latest update of a bike that's been built continuously since 1955), Indian-manufactured, not-legal-in-California Royal Enfield.

Some of us old farts still like single-cylinder, pushrod-engined motorbikes. It's about a quarter the cost of the Triumph as well. Just don't be in a hurry. I'm not sure how much the brakes and lights have been upgraded.

Update: I didn't notice when I posted it, but the first link is not the "latest update" on this model, but a '00 model. Shows you how much it matters.
