    Wonder what they are like now.
    Mate bought one shortly after they re opened production lines and it had a casing oil leak within a week.

    I'd live with it. Fuck, if they made a 800-900cc twin for the same money I'd buy one right now.

    Wasn't one of these it was 20 odd years ago.
    I think they launched 3 model straight off the original moulds.
    One of them was a diesel motor.

    This one looks very high tech.

    found a performance kit of sorts. supposedly 40% more horsepower & better torque.

    http://www.hitchcocksmotorcycles.com...erformancekits

    Still you're only talking 45 or say even 50HP for a 185kg bike.

    Doesn't seem like CBR600RR or Yamaha R6 territory or am i missing something

    Possibly. Think AC Cobra kit, great drive but far from modern performance, it's about the machine itself.

    That Continental Enfield looks a honey. While it's made in India there are some fancy names in the equipment list including a frame designed by Harris Engineering in the UK. In the last couple of weeks it has been announced that Enfield have bought Harris Engineering but have retained the services of Mr Harris.
