A bike for Barbarella 

What tires are those?

[fyr]

Tires- on my Bonnie?
Heidenaus K60 scouts... Great tires, howl a bit on slab that disappears after 100kph. Digs into gas mileage compared to street tires
You know, its the Enfield.. I just love the look and the kicker and the lineage and made in India.. I could go on. Im sold, just either have to find one or flip for new (if we can save some $$ like you Yanks on your new 2014 MSRP)
From how Im looking at things
G5 or B5 with solo saddle and panniers racks...

[fyr]

A Jockey shiftin', barbed wire fence jumper..... for a mere 24 grand !

And a Wehrmacht Heer Pedestrian slicer... Probably fit better on a BMW me thinks..

I'm puzzled by these tires:

G5 or B5, you may add the E5: all three differ mostly in cosmetics.
I prefer the dual seat. It is easier to adapt to different terrain, circomstances; like shifting position, going belly-flat, you get my drift... 
Good luck hunting 'n shopping!

What the...?

Sectorsteve - I'm amazed at that first photo!  That looks like it must be one of the coolest campsites ever!!

I'm not a 100% but I believe they are Michelin Desert Racing tires.  They have a very similar tread, tho not identical.  I'm almost wondering if maybe they didn't change the tread design slightly.  Could be a different tire all together too, but they DO have some nasty tread on them.

You're right, very close but no sigar.
I'm practically sure they're Michelin. Perhaps T63?

[Sectorsteve]

2 up yes. Nsw plates but these pix are koscoisko. Highly reccomend ed.

So that's a c5. I was close to getting a triumph. I was warned not to get an enfield. I've done 40k on the enfield in 18 month. Done 3 long distance trips. Had her loaded up. The only problems I've had is minor damage when hitting a kangaroo at 90kph. . Anyhing else has been my own doing. The motor is rock solid and I love the fact I can ride 1000km on about 40 bucks fuel.. next thing for me is the 19 in front wheel cause .currently I'm limited to certain tyres and I'd like to try k70s.
Rear sprocket is pretty rubbish as is stock chain. Keep an eye on these and no worries however there is an after market bolt on sprocket option. Also for some people the bike may feel small.

[Arizoni]

I don't recall seeing a after market bolt on rear sprocket.   

The rear sprocket on the UCE powered motorcycles is a part of the rear brake drum.  Seems if there was such a aftermarket sprocket it would have to come with a different brake drum?
