I find myself wanting a Royal Bullet.
They have a very unique something about them. I've never ridden one, so don't know if it will work for me.
They really appeal to me.
Somebody please talk me out of this. :icon_mrgreen:
one of these? (http://www.royal-enfield.com/images/Bullet%20500%20ES%2005.JPG) O0
That's the one!
They look real good with the old style solo seat on them. :thumb:

Why would we do that? :icon_razz: Is it the classic Bullet you're after? Enfield also produce the Bullet Electra, which gets you a lean-burn engine, a disc brake up front, and rear brake/gearshift the right(?) way round. http://www.royal-enfield.com/bullet-electra.htm (http://www.royal-enfield.com/bullet-electra.htm)

As long as we're dreaming............

That is a gorgeous bike but the hypermotard would be sooooo fun.
And its not a dream! Only £6000.00 used for an 07 plate at the min on ebay!
What would you rather have a gixxer 1k or a ducati hypermotard! If you can afford a gixxer why not have a Ducati instead!
1100cc in an L twin! Woooop! Wheeelies
you know you can get it... you live in okalahoma.. if you lived in CA you cant buy one though a few ppl managed to import them into CA and get them licensed. I want to buy one..

Enfield - yes, its crap. We build it in my home town in India, my dad has worked for them on other projects. In 1950 it was the most advanced, in 1960, it was the greatest there was, in 1970, it was getting a bit dated and people were going, when are they upgrading this thing, in 1980, it was obsolete, in 1990 it was truly a relic, in 2000 it was soooo cool cos its so antique, in 2010 it will be soooooo cooooooooool cos it gives you a lot of excitement. Every time you get near it, it may do somehting and ruin your day, or it may not, and that is the greatest feeling in the world :thumb:
The Duc and whatever that other one is - coool. Super super sooooooooooool. But highly impractical unless you're a billionaire with an army of mechanics at your disposal.
Cool.

That's just it, I like the idea of something with it's own personality.
You have to convince it that it wants to do what you need it to do. :icon_mrgreen:
I do like that Ural solo. I don't think you can get those anymore new.
All they make now are the Hacks.
I think I like them because that's the style people were riding in the late '60s
which was when I started noticing motorcycles.
The lines on that Ural brings back some memories of some old bikes I saw in Central America when I was a kid.
Honestly, between the DucTard and a Gix 1k of the same year, I'd pick the gix. Just me though.
I saw a bike for $700 today...
