Unfortunately, the W800 is not available here. I think it is because of the slow sales of the W650. Ironic, since they are highly sought after these days!

Nice Enfield! Unfortunately, the late model Bullets are holding their value pretty well these days. I can remember when you could buy a late 90s early 00s for $500, but who would want one? Wish I could find a Lean Burn for only $500!

Here's my 2014 Royal Enfield Classic 500. Slow as all get out, but fun to ride!

Lovely! They've really cracked it with this one, IMO. I don't care about performance, as long as it's efficient and looks good.... If I had the time and money to run a bike (unlikely, in central London, this side of the big lottery win...), I'd be looking at one of these. Maybe also a BSA Bantam for genuine vintage, and an early 70s Honda 350 for something with that vaguely British look, which I'd be happy to park anywhere.

The C500 is a real step up from the older spec, while still retaining that beautiful, period look to it....

After 45 years of riding various bikes, ending with a few Beemers, I became quite ill a few years ago. A rare lung disease and duff legs and balance. I couldn't handle the weight of the Beemers any more but I still wanted to ride. So, I went out and bought a brand new one of these!

Haven't had so much fun in years! It's a 2015 Honda PCX 125. First bike I've ridden with the elastic band gearbox/transmission! Surprisingly fast for a 125 too. Does around 65 flat out which is plenty fast enough for me as I spend most of my riding time on narrow, twisty country lanes with tractors round each blind bend!

If you'd told me a few years ago that I'd be riding a scooter I'd have laughed in your face!

I have finally discovered that it's not what you ride, but the fact that you do ride that's important.

So, so true. Glad to hear you are still enjoying riding! Looks like a fun bike.

It's a great bike, I've ridden them and they are indeed lots of fun. If I ever need to downgrade I'd go to a scooter in a minute, it's the same wind in your face as a larger bike...

Had a little fun with my 1930 Harley V today. Not sure what the local constabulary will say? Probably will have some Motor Officers pull me over, just so they can pose on it!
