My 2009 AVL Military (classic frame) has terrible metallurgy, and everything else. Rusts everywhere, even with a cover and appropriate precautions. Things bend just from use (kickstart lever, fender stays [I haven't even hit anything and they bend cattywhompus on a whim], etc). The paint has baked white (again, even though I use a cover 99% of the time), all the chrome is chipping off (ALL OF IT, on EVERY bolt, even ones I haven't touched), the vinyl seat is falling apart (after 4,000 miles of use, WITH a cover), and I've had to open both switch assemblies on the handlebars, scrub all contacts clean, and refill with electric grease. The edges of the tank aren't welded properly and have split in one spot, one of the rear tank tabs snapped off and had to be welded back on, and I have rust bubbles coming from parts that aren't even scratched. Also, my front VIN plate rivets have rusted off and I had to re-rivet them. The exhaust pipe (painted black from the factory) has had all the paint just turn to dust, and the entire pipe is rusty.
I have never taken this bike on a salted (or otherwise winter-treated - it doesn't really snow here, just gets cold sometimes) road. I have never washed the bike and let it sit in the water. I have never let the bike sit in the rain and be allowed to rust; I always wipe it down afterwards, and give appropriate areas WD-40 or Ankor Wax treatment.
Also, the wiring harness caught fire and I had to re-wire the entire bike.
I still ride it because it is my only mode of transport, but if the new UCE models have some sort of better chroming and metallurgy, I'd like to see it. I paid the same for my AVL as what the new UCE bikes are going for, it would have been nice to get the same type of treatment.
Don't take this post as an Enfield-bash or troll. I'm just telling it like it is, no anger. Just disappointment.
