Agreed!....ther are enfields form the 60's to the 2000's up for sale...at different prices..some run on points etc
..so ther a a realy lotta options!..but still keep aside around 40000 for a good 90's model..

for around 40K you would get a decent around 2004 model east that’s a electra they have a better resale value... you may be able to crack a 206 std 350 for the same amount... just see what you have to get contact the local market, check with friends who are in to bullets. Contact local bulleteres... contact UNDERGROUNDRIDER i am sure as he mentioned he got one last month that may be a help to you . and as he has already realized that it is a white elephant so even you should know Honda shine and the bullet do not share anything in character...

well mine is 1974 model and i got it for 25k .. luckily the guy who wanted to sell it off was in need of money..when i checked out the market value of a 1974 model it was a whooping 45k.. according to me i would preffer going for a old model ..
1- it has un matchable thump
2- Older the enfield more the value
3- it is fully metal no plastics at all .. just 1% of plastic on the whole bike
and yea if you arnt aware of the enfield trend the let me tell you .. older enfields are more expensive than newer enfields... and yea ofcourse they are worth it.. and yea go for a std it is the best ..

the thump is due to the ponts ignition system...justs wish it was effecient enough at higher rpm's

1 old enfield
2 rolers
