"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

In general I say  waytogo for Cafe` Racers, Scramblers, etc and  boo for flashy choppers (OCC style).

waytogo



That's all sorts of cool stylin' goodness, but I'm not actually sure how much I'd want to ride it on a regular basis.

I like them for a retro looking bike, and you can buy them new.

Anyone want to tour India with me, buy a couple of 500s and ride?

Does the Royal Enfield 500 cc engine really make 40 hp. I thought it made 19 rwhp.

Some nice bikes indeed. The RE's look good bobbed or cafe'd. Here are some other Indian made bikes on location not so far from India.

Enfield with some custom bits and pieces.




Another Indian bike the Bajaj (blue bike and maroon bike in the picture). Very popular but oh so crappy.

The factory RE 500 is 27hp, those photos are from a custom shop and he's claiming 40 hp at the crank.
