Hi everyone,

I have been looking for a Royal Enfield for a few years and really like the rat/cafe style bikes. I just found this Bullet on CR and would like your input as to weather it seems like a decent buy.
All your help is much appreciated!

Worth every penny, and cosmetically I would leave it just as it is.

Can't beat the price for a running bike.

If you get it, please contact me about the cams and I can assist you with the use of them. I may also be able to help you identify what those other mods are, too.

So it seems pretty definitive. Are there any typical things to check out on this bike before I hand over the cash?

You could check things over if you want, but you aren't going to find any other Bullet for cheaper than that. Mostly any you'd find for that price would be dead or basket cases.
Just assume everything is broken, and go get it, and fix the things that are wrong.

You are way ahead of the game that the bike even runs, at that price. And that you don't have to pay $700 to ship it across the country, to get it.

Awe, you don't want that bike.   What's the owner's phone number?   ;D

Since the craigslist ad isn't up anymore, you'll have to post us picture...
