glad I got my iron barrel when i did. this does nothing for me.

Different strokes for different folks!   

Too bad the AVL was short-lived but hopefully the UCE will be a success.

The american AVL models are way more beautiful then the european models!
They've kept the looks of the Classic models. The one we have in Portugal and Spain look a bit strange. They've mixed classic and modern parts 
Today I've learned that for 2008 we will only have AVL's with EFI. No more Classics 
The prices will go up, around 1000€.

Damn the Euro 3 regulations!

The AVL motor always reminded me of the RE 500 Fury with the Big Head motor of the early 60's.     Hutch

Today I've discovered the new AVL engine with EFI.
The top engine is more beautiful that the "old" AVL. But the bottom engine lost a lost of it's carisma and beauty.
Even so, they've managed to keep the kickstart...
But the side covers... Man, they're so f...g ugly!

Seriously R.E.I. please spend the extra couple of cents and replace the speedo face and needle with something a bit more in-keeping with the bike's style and not just using the one from the designer's son's toy bike!!!  It really irks me when manufacturers do this - its the same on the misses's dad's bike (Kawasaki VN 900), really nice fit and finish - except for the speedo, which has a plastic orange needle.  Cheapens the whole look of the thing, esp from your seat when you're riding it...sorry for the mini rant, but surely they could just have put a plain black and white one on?  Would have looked miles nicer!

We couldn't agree more about that being a less than great looking speedo
