I ran it 150klm in total yesterday from scratch or pick up and that's a pretty good run by my standards with a new bike. I did probably 40klm of dirt road too. that would be the longest dirt run ive ever had on a bike. also ran along at 50 mph on the sealed stuff so I would say it would cruise at 60 mph once run in.
this may surprise but I don't think power wise I am that far behind a standard 500 uce. i'd say a cross between a 350 and 500.

Isn't it about time you tried a Himi in those goldfields, Bill?
So badass my Enfield's actually illegal  in India. Yet it squeaks by here in Virginia.

hard to say here. I thought about one but undecided. next week I might get a new bike. could be that 2019 honda 500x or the other choice could be a Kawasaki w800
I might even take that little honda out to the goldfield in the next day or so and try a few of the tracks and see how it runs. only a 30 mile round trip. I should take the detector for a run too.
