    2nd Bike for the city Royal Enfield

    I would grab these in a minute for a runaround the city bike soon as they're available. I have heard nothing but good things about them, I dig the retro style and no I'm not one of those hipster maggots.

    A neighbour owns one.
    All I can say is they look great, but their vibration will dislodge your eyeballs from their sockets, and a Toyota Prius accelerates faster.
    Also, even with EFI, they suffer from serious hesitation and throttle response issues.
    Brakes? What brakes?
    You've been warned.

    But at least you won't have to worry about it being stolen.

    The only thing missing is unbearable heat from the engine, horrendous customer service and a need to spend 10 to 15% of the original purchase price to actually run right and I'll be back home.

    I believe Asian population is a biggest consumer of 2 wheelers . Ever increased demands , pushed Royal Enfield's production to new facility , where in this year alone , ½ Million of these classic bikes will be made . I'm impressed .
