I'll buy the low mile used bike from the guy who doesn't mod the seat (easy to mod :evil: and almost a must on any motorcycle) or the guy who decides the internal cadence is too much to live with (no matter to me) and save 3000K!
Hi Bob. The Blue one is a 2005, Aegean Blue. Mated to a Dnepr sidecar. Not sure what is on the tank; it has a Triumph "68" Union Jack tank cover on it. I'm afraid to look under it. :wink: The maroon one is a 2001, with a January 2001 MFR date. An early model. Both 790s.
I can't speak to the new 650 but I do own a Royal Enfield Himalayan. I also own a new Honda Africa Twin DCT. If I was to choose between the two which one to take on an around the world trip the Himalayan would win hands down. It's simple, easy to work on, and handles twice as good as the African Twin off road, even through the Africa Twin has Ohlins suspension :shocked:. If the speed limit is 65 or below, the Himalayan is the way to go. If there is any off-roading the Himalayan is the way to go. If all the miles are going to be on the interstate the Africa Twin beats the Himalayan silly, as the AT just eats miles with ease.
