i have just sold my 2012 c5 but have been informed that the cafe racer may not arrive here in oz till feb/march 2014.
a big 7 months wait and that is  providing it gets here then. over the past 18 months i've had 2 c5's so i think it's now time for a change.
i plan to buy a 2013 black b5 -think its got the silver striping and see how it goes....bench v solo etc etc  hopefully it will be as good as the c5's.
if all goes to plan next week i will load up the hi-ace and go pick it up.

Yeahh! Of course it will be good! ;D I would be quite excited. It's a good thing you've spent a nice time on the C5 and now you'll be having the B5. It'll be fun to compare them both first hand. Have a look out for rusty spots underneath the headlight rim, exhaust header pipe bolts and also underneath the fuel tank where the low-fuel sensor is located. Hopefully the Motociclo guys have kept that B5 indoors mostly and not outside as a showpiece.

Good luck! and do post some pictures when you get it :D

Bill, I'm a bit worried about you. You seem to be suffering from enfield compulsive/impulsive disorder. I've looked into this a little and it seems there is no known cure....it's terminal....but the good news is you're like to die of old age before it kills you :)

ACF50 takes care of the rusting problem.
