I did just less than 200 miles today and ended up with a bit over 600 miles on the bike. I am very pleased with the RE. It just keeps running better every time I ride it, I had a hard time keeping it under 55 today it just wanted to roll right on up to 60+ and felt relaxed doing it. I am still heat cycling the motor every hour or so I stop for a few minutes and let it cool down. My mileage is “Down” to about 76mpg I think there something wrong with the right handlebar end thingy seems to twist all the time!
I will say the Enfield Performance Exhaust System I ordered sounds sweet. There’s a nice deep THUMP THUMP when just putting along BUT get on the throttle and there’s a satisfying THUNDERING ROAR! Even a Bud on his H-D said it sounded great for “A little toy bike” Coming from him that IS high praise!
So why’s my butt hurt? The saddle doesn’t fit me very well at all. That said now begins the hunt for a saddle that both fits my butt and looks good on the bike.
I had to laugh, somewhat hungry, when I had to go over the Enfield Story three times before I could get into Bob Evens to eat and then twice more before I was able to get back on the road. It may not be a large bike, fast or loud but it sure draws attention. Two of the presentations were made to H-D riders who liked the RE quite a bit it seemed, one of the ladies even ask if she get her photo taken while sitting on it! I need to find out if there’s a commission on sales I make for the dealer.
