I haven't kept up with new motorcycle design for the past few years. When did Enfield start producing twins again?
I've just seen this one in a local petrol station & was quite taken with it.
I'd ride that. Smiley

Nice to see a return to "normal" bikes. Sports bikes just don't do anything for me at all.

A modified version of the 650, a collaboration between the Bike Shed and the Royal Enfield Technology Centre, for use on for urban roads, that may be of interest.
