The Royal Enfield is the perfect solution for me. ALL the class, pleasure, feel, panache and history of other Brit bikes, but with modern fuel injection, electronic ignition, unit construction, disc brake, and 5 speed and a 3 year warranty to make it a great daily rider.

So true. My friend has a 1970 Triumph Tiger he completely restored and the most reliable part is the electronic ignition upgrade! LOL!
I always did like the Norton SS though. The up-pipes were cool.
