I find that as we get older the more difficult it is to adapt to change.....so I'd give it more time and do a few more miles! Personally I think swapping that for an RE would be a bad move! Thanks. I definitely want to get a Classic 350 some day but the current plan is to keep the XSR and (when I can afford it) get the RE as a second (well fourth) bike. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot of negativity towards the new Royal Enfields. Not sure why, bit like BMWs and Harley's the people slagging them off have rarely even ridden one let alone owned one. Buying a bike isn't something I agonise over, if you're aware of the downsides and you like it get it 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
