That's just decoration. You don't really need it. the interesting one will be when they release their twin cyl version.

Not entirely decorative Gerry. Terri and I rode these around the Himalayas in August last year and the kickstarter came in handy a few times. They would spin over on the starter but not fire. A little prod with the kicker and off they went. Tough little bike and fine if you don't want to travel any faster than 95 kph.

Was at Bonneville last week, Royal Enfield was there shooting a commercial using a helicopter. They appear to be making a serious move on the American market.

Triumph's streamliner hasn't been heard from since 2016...
