Very nice indeed. The perfect size for a parallel twin IMHO. I look forward to your reviews once the initial thrill of acquisition has retreated a smidgen.

Hi Scalyback,


You MUST treat Kevin to a visit to the REOC International Rally I want to meet him and no doubt after all the build up, so do many others!


If not a member you could join on the day.

Lovely bike, but that front mudguard looks absolutely huge! Presumably with deep sides for mounting two front number plates, rather than having a single front number plate on the top? A.

I think you may well be right there Adrian, I found these on the net, including the RE artwork...

But just to prove that you always get one...

I did wonder quite why it was such a bathtub!



P.S. Guys... Does the centre stand wear, as mine seems to sit really forward when used and hardly does the job at all?

Kevin's stand, looking a bit like it is going too far forward? Is there anything that I can do?



And here is a vid showing how much heavier this bike seems than Tornado, my iron bullet! (probably made from real steel?)








The wheels are only off the ground as the ground falls away from the stand sharply front and back.

Well Scalyback, photos from the net! I wonder if you can choose which one of them is MINE! It is in there, and I am buggered if I can work out where the photo was taken.
Re the centre stand, the easiest and best way to fix it is to build up the bottom of the engine plates with weld or perhaps weld a short strip of steel along the bottom. that's what I did with mine and it works a treat, better then having the ally centre stand built up with weld.
