I was just commenting to a friend yesterday how I always take off the center stand from my bikes, but the enfield one is easy to use so I keep it on. I do agree that some of the accessory parts feel cheap and should be replaced but overall I've been hugely impressed with every aspect of my G5. I just love how in every one of the reviews I've read either the writer or the commenters try to compare the bike to other bikes that are in a completely different class. I bought an enfield because I love old bikes, but I wanted one that I knew would start every morning. To expect the ride and feel of a modern sport bike, or a Harley, or another touring bike is just unrealistic.
