It's a Royal Enfield that no one wants to buy, they'd have to pay me to take it away

HArsh but arguably fair.

I wonder how much of a factor WFH has had on the industry sales figures now a load of us never go to offices any more

In terms of value for money in the current market, I see no better deal by quite a long way. I probably ride mine more than the yamaha or bmw. Why ??

Wherever I go I see REs and owners are happy. No issue's reported to me. 👍

This deals only on the continental this time, not the interceptor.

When I'm out on the bike I'd say RE is the brand I see most.

It used to be BMW GS'.

They might not be the biggest seller, but they seem to be bought by people who actually ride them.

They ain't for the one bike man, but to add to the garage it's good, cheap fun. 👍

YEah if you're looking for a town/local plodder to the pub/cafe, i think you can't go far wrong.

@Couchy was rapid on track on his, although he'd done a bit of work to it of course. But it showed it can be pretty handy if needed.

The Continental does encourage aggressive riding though, think it's the riding position and the need to get it moving. Great fun all the same.

I've just been looking at R-Es - some folk are asking more used than you can buy a new one for!

I sold some stuff with them last year - they're good people to deal with. If you are interested give a bloke there by the name of Jim Gregory a call. I'll send you his number if you'd like.
