Here's my first message on this RE forum, a message from Holland.
So let me introduce myself at first; I've been riding English bikes since I started at the age of 18, so that's 34 years ago. The first bike was a '69 Triumph T120,which let me down after just a few rides! Then the Triton came, a Wideline featherbed with a T150 V triple in it. A beautiful machine which I kept for almost thirty years. I also had 4 Norton Commando's and drove many, many 2 valve Beemers.
4 years ago we saw the advert for doing India, the high passes, by Enfield. Well, my wife and I did so. We've never been so sick, because off the extreme heights and never have been so cold, but my god, we loved those tiny bikes!!
Now we are 4 years further and I had my first ride on the new EFI last week over here.
And it will not be a suprise to all off you that, after looking at the new B5 I am totally convinced that this one is gonna be mine and even maybe hers as well.
This must be the bike for sunday morning trips or via B roads to the south off France, the Alps, Dolomite's and Pyrenees!!
For A roads and 100 MPH+ I keep the Moto Guzzi Le Mans, a ice blue '76.
So my first question overhere is; is the so called EFI silencer the same as;
http://www.royal-enfield.com/index.php/shop/accessories/34/220/accessories/exhausts/P-sports-silencer?When I read all the posts I think a 18 teeth sprocket and a more sportive and shorter silencer will be the first parts to exchange.
Till so far my introduction, sorry if I made to much mistakes because off the language!
For now, can't wait to order one! Ciao.
