Picked up the xsr today, sad seeing the W800 go but wow really enjoyed the ride home beautiful sunny day here in the north, need to take the boss for a spin so like wise buying kits might be on hold for a while ( not that i have many)

You won't find me knocking it. Anything with two wheels and an engine can put a big grin on your face.

And it's just about the only other thing that clears the mind in the way sticking bits of plastic together does....

With all that Tupperware wrapped around my machines I had the best of both worlds then!!
They’re not exactly the same naked though!!!

Nice! All the current Enfields seem to ride really nicely....

I traded the Classic 350 today for a Royal Enfield Scram 411 as I really liked it when I had a test ride last week.

Faster than the Classic although that is not hard to do, handles much better and on the 85 miles done today the comfort level seems on par with the Classic. On the whole it seems a nicer place to be so there goes buying more models for a while.

Just to spoil your day!! My little ride!! Never had the inkling to get a big boys bike, preferred the comfort!!


Had a great day when I did my BikeSafe Course with the police. Killed off a few rumours about elastic band power being 'crepe'!!!
Whatever you lot say - I have probably heard it all before!!!! :rolling: :smiling2::smiling2::smiling2:
Also had one of these which Mrs W loved. Had some great days out on it.

If that's a full power Vmax you had better put a wheelie bar on the back.

It is the full 145bhp vmax. Not had a decent run on it yet. Bad weather and too busy at work. Got some time off soon. Can't wait, just hope the weather is decent.
