Just saying goodbye and thanks.
I’ve left the fold. I have just sold my 350 and Classic 500 and gone back to Japanese.
This forum is the reason I added the 500 to my 350, but, besides the fact I change bikes, I was brought up on 70s Japanese. I originally got my 350 as I wanted a bike that I could fix at any time anywhere; but I fix all my bikes!
Obviously being a technical forum, you hear many scare stories, but I decided I don’t think I would have kept my REs for life.
BW was very helpful in me gaining a little more oomph from my 350, but with both the 350 and 500, I wanted a bit more power. I still use my bikes for commuting and whilst I used my 350 as well for commuting, a bit more overtaking power was missed.
Anyway, thanks to everyone who answered my questions and I hope I helped a little too, with my general motorcycle knowledge.
It would be wrong to say this forum is better than the bikes, but it is certainly equal; nah, the forum is better
Actually, dare I be so blunt… I think the performance of my Classic 500 should have been more and the vibes were too much. Yes, so much was simple, single, hydraulic tappets etc, but still. Maybe I just didn’t have the RE passion.
Some might say, why not the new Interceptor? It did cross my mind, but I’d be spending all my money.
I’ll disappear after this thread, but you’ve been great.
