That’s what I’m saying; it’s just that of the two types I saw at the NEC I preferred the Continental. Think BSA A10; that’s what I’d like. Something that, like my C5, you can ride in bad weather without the rear end getting absolutely plasteted in crud, as my Thruxton does (so now “would” because it’s not worth the cleaning session if rain is expected). To be a competent all-rounder it would be better with parallel silencers that allow decent hard panniers to be fitted and not at a jaunty angle. AFAIK the Interceptor is the one with a daft brace on the overly wide handlebars - pandering to the USA? Not sure; they don’t sell many REs there, though they are popular down under. The bikes are nice and slim and fairly light and they are a reasonable size unlike my Hinckley twin which appears to have been made from steroid alloy of some sort.... unnecessarily large really. The RE twin is similar to a Commando and much better for it. If RE is gauging customer reaction it’ll have to get a move on to meet states delivery dates.

I have one on order with my local dealer - ETA June - that would be brilliant for the summer but I ma realistic it may be a little later in the year !

Personally I’d never buy a bike that hasn’t been tested by the bike press or by me. It might be awful.

I wish I had one on order with my local agent Wayne!! To me it looks like a very desirable machine. I like the look of the engine and the whole project - both types. The engine internally also looks to be a very fine balance between the modern and the not too modern - advantages of design while still not overwhelmed by electronics and the mysteries of 'hyper-advanced technology'. Bet it sounds good too!

At last someone's finally gone the extra mile to build a motorcycle that's gonna grab you by the b&lls

Great looking bike and with only 8hp less and £2k cheaper than the triumph t100 it has the potential to be a better seller.Thats if it proves to be reliable and has no major issues after 1 year/mileage ownership. What puts me off buying just now is the Himalayan saga with the production and design issues which is available now in Scotland a year after its European launch.

Looks ok as above and a little safe in styling dept.
I think I will be sticking to my Gt and with the money I save buy the Hitchcocks stroked crank and cams etc.
Bet that would be a sound worth waiting for 🏍💨💨💨💨
