These guys seem to have targeted their audience well in terms of their paint schemes; that green/black is fantastic! No bubble gum there...

I agree 100%

Uncle Voodoo is hilarious, and honest.

Good looking video  and review.

A friend has an Enfield 500 single. I’m not an Enfield guru but this one is an early 1960’s vintage & was made in the Redditch UK factory.  All UK production ceased in 1970 and since then all RE’s have been made in India. His is very well used and not a show pony. He even took it to the classic IOM TT this year. Here it is next to my 03 Sport. Not my cup of tea personally, if I was to downsize it would be to a small block Guzzi, or maybe a Ducati Scrambler, but I have to admit the Interceptor 650 twin looks like a classic Brit twin should

On a summer evening ride out. MK 1 Le Mans, my ‘99 Silver V11, Cali 111, & a Enfield Bullet 500 complete with monster top-box. The Guzzi’s had to restrict the speed to around 60 mph max, as the 28 bhp Bullet struggled to maintain “big block progress”, but of course it’s not really a fair comparison

Good looking bikes Guzzimax, the Bullet is def a blank in that group.

Chuck posted a photo of his bike on WG.  It's a stylish thing.  I think Chuck probably wears tweed now and smokes a pipe when he rides.

Gots them too. Oldest rider award..

Yeah, it's stylish. Looks and sounds a lot like bikes I rode as a kid without the constant hassle.. very pleasant to ride. Slowly.

I see that’s the 350 classic with 20.2 bhp and 19.9 ft-lbs torque. Getting off a V11 I would be missing the other 50 ft-lbs. It’s the torque that makes the ride for me. A friend has just bought this military look Bullet. Great for slow getaways

Notice the Leather Saddle Bags on Chuck's bike.  That's where he keeps his pipes.  I have no idea what he's smokin'.
