Yesterday we went to Chicago, to look for Filters for the Ural, and the dealer had a line up of Royal Enfields sitting out side. As I intend to get my Lady an Electra, in January, I took a close look, and get the feel of the bike. It is lower than my Classic Bullet, by an inch or so, and feels a little easier to sit on. I couldn't start it, as the batteries were all flat, and the bikes not oiled up, or fueled. Why is it that a line of bikes outside a dealer have no oil or fuel in??
I asked about lower seats, and got no help or suggestions from them, so I don't think selling Enfields is their prime concern. I did get to start a military. Much more eager to start than my Bullet - less of a kick to get it going - the starter did not work, and it's engine guard was not fitted.
I was a little disappointed with the presentation of the bikes - being totally nuts for the RE line, I would have preferred to see them presented nicely, with no adjustments to be made, and working starters.
What this did for me, was to make it probable that I will travel farther to buy my new bikes - I intend to buy two of them, and don't want to get them from a dealer that doesn't live and breathe Enfields.
