I have a 2001 Dubya that had 1732 miles on it when I got it. It is my ride when I travel longer distances with other people. If I'm alone or with someone that isn't in a hurry it's the REB (Royal Enfiled Bullet). Any other REB/Dubya owners out there? Leonard, how do you like the W650. I Have never rode one, only window shopped in 2000. I have rode a lot of different bikes in 40+ years. It seems it would be about the same as a original stock 60-70's Triumph, but slightly heavier. Over the years I have also heard all different mpg reports. What are your likes and dislikes? Once I get mine I will be able to compare your answers with my experience. Hutch Luoma, I know what you mean. I have to run up town and get pack of smokes and I would love to take the Bullet, but I won't get my pushrod adjuster until next week(I hope), so its take the 550 lb.120 hp bike. I would rather ride the RE. It's only been a week it's been down and I think I am going through withdrawls. That never happened with any of the other bikes I have ever owned in 40yrs. Hutch

Hutch, what is a pushrod adjuster? I have an Electra and adjust them with a couple wrenches. Is there a better way?
