Hi Mack, I put $5000 in the thingy and it wouldn't let me say or near offer so I just pushed the button.
Anyone who is interested can talk to Aaron about that anyway, $5000 ono is a starting place, he can answer their questions on that.
He was pissed off that he couldn't go to the Brass Monkey on it this year as he had to work.
It really does go well, especially through the snow, I used to find it hard to keep up with him sometimes.
Used to piss myself laughing following him over the pass and remembering the old 350 that I had when I was about 16, it used to go anywhere too.
They are not too quick but they go and go, really reliable old bikes.
Haven't ridden one of the new Indian ones but they say they are reliable too. Cheers John.

Indeed its a nice looking example. Rode an Indian Bullet for a few months, but I think the British one would be the pick for me. The classic websites would be interested.

$5000... that's very affordable. You see the prices some of the Trumpies and Beezas go for; $5000 is much more within the `reasonably' category. And it's a long-stroke big single, not some whiny twin Cool. Hope the next owner takes care of it.

I have both , indian and British , they , as old rider said , just go and go . ( loud Valves save lives !!!)

I did 20 000 km on a chain ,,,wait for this ,,, it was that cheap black you buy off the roll ,,in fact I could have gone further but I felt sorry for it ,,,

The 350 were actually the better of the 2 smoother and just as quick Though the 500, well is a mans size !!!

If I ever buy another personal bike I will buy another Enfield ,

They were designed for a reliable ride to work bike and that they do well . ( on a side note , I have looked at those Engines in Depth there is not an inch of fat on that design, the more I look into them the more I like em

Oh if I only had the money !!!
