Royal Enfield Cafe Racer

For sale in Ontario at $10,300 taxes in! I think they're around 25 horsepower or so. Cute bike for a Sunday morning jaunt!
Don't go far from home though - I hear they're not too reliable?

Looks like the modern version from India as opposed to a classic. Disc brakes, turn signals and methinks I see what might be the button for the electric start on the right hand grip. Seems a tad pricey, but it looks cool. For about the same price you should almost be able to get a current Triumph Thruxton. I was looking at those but came over to the dark side instead.

Interesting bike, and more horsepower than a Harley. Cool...

Kinda reminds me of an old Matchless 350 from the 60's. I liked it's honesty...yep, it's the Indian made one, me thinks.
GDM, you're right - Triumph's a better spend.
BTW you're in Ontario..so am I. Where are you?

Ajax. Got back into riding with the 1200s after a 20 year break. Definitely not my Bonneville. Not sure it was the wisest move, but it sure is a hoot!

I'm sure with a full exhaust system and a Power Commander, you could get 30hp out of it, easy.

Good idea! That would reduce the weight by another 60 pounds or so :-)
