Nice article here, http://www.realclassic.co.uk/enfieldefi.html, about the Electra with the UCE that they are selling in Great Britain.

Sorry, Posted this in the wrong place.

The first pic should now allay the kick start controversy.
A very nice looking Bullet. IMO

And finally, you good people at Royal Enfield manufacturing – please, please, please, will you now move on and resurrect the 750 Interceptor that we have been waiting and whinging about for so very, very long? 

Ha! See? I'm not the only one who feels that way. Bring back the twin.

Haven't bought a new motorcycle since 1982 (always used).  As this is yet unproven, what would the consensus be on waiting a year to buy one of these new Bullets?  Should I just go for it, or wait for some serious reviews?

That's as good a question as it gets. No one knows the answer. At this point it's a toss up.

But my money goes with there not being any major problems and few minor ones, but then that's just a guess.

Kevin sure had some nice things to say about the new EFI from his recent trip to India. Looks like it may be a "plug-n-play" type bike.

I wonder if the EFI unit will eventually be available as a retrofit?? I suspect not but if it was and not cost prohibitive.....................

[Adrian]

Someone, somewhere, will actually manage to retrofit the fuel injection system to the older style AVL engine, and my guess is that it will be one of our more adventurous friends in India who does it...

Fitting the injector shouldn't be too difficult, the challenge will be to wire in the EMS and fitting all its sensors.  Just give it time.

With the chain on the opposite side I think it will be an ambitious retrofit. Personally, I would get a new bike.

[Jon]

Don't quite see that the chain being on the other side could make retofitting the
EFI unit any more difficult? You'd need the tank assy from the UCE for the fuelpump
I guess.......

Ernie,
The new bike may come in $6K++, and I try never to buy a first year model.
You may be better off buying used (under $4k) as there are a lot of  low mileage ones around. Recently I have seen some on ebay from dealers with no miles in the $4k range (leftovers).
This will save you some money and give you a chance to see if you are into the Enfield experience.

Leonard sorry I spelled your name wrong in my last post.  Just read you thread and checked out the link for the effy.   Good wright up but the engine does not look the same to me, it begining to look Japanese.  it seems to be losing that nostalgic look.   I don't know but have a close look.
