The New Hotness.
I love this paint scheme. So many looks and even a thumbs up on my short little ride home. I would ride it more, but it ended up being a bit on the cold side today.
It has less than 15 miles on it, but it is such a smooth and wonderful bike to ride around on, and quite comfortable too.

It is a great looking bike. It's everything I love about old bikes but with all the right modern touches. The biggest one is the fact that it doesn't have spoke wheels. No inner tubes to deal.
I already have a list of things I want to get. Namely, a front sump guard and/or a fender extender for the front to protect the engine and oil filter from road debris. Eventually I want to get new turn signals too, but these ones don't honestly look too bad. Still big and chunky, but unlike a lot if cheap bikes, not obviously cheap either. The one feature of this bike and the Super meteor that I didn't even know about is that it has a built in navigation system. It's very basic and just an arrow and distance type system, but still kind of neat. I would have happily traded that feature for a tachometer myself, but still a neat feature. I am considering putting on a little digital tach/temp gauge like this one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/335097304377 The little gauge on the right is the clock/nav feature.

It's not that I don't feel I "deserve" it I guess. I just don't view the world in that way. I appreciate the sentiment though, for sure. It's not the words that matter, but the context and meaning behind them.

I get it... Perhaps a better way to rephrase it would be... "I'm glad the bike found you Dan" |

That little meter is kind of neat. A Tiny Tach on 'roids, though I wonder if the clock is an hour meter.
That is a sharp bike.

They do also make one I am going to put on my Hawk, I think. Head temp, oil temp, voltage, and timer. I just need to figure out the fitting sizes. https://www.ebay.com/itm/18608440947...Bk9SR6aAt8jgYw

Sick! Have you ever owned/worked on an RE before? All I think I know is they are a British/English company with the manufacturing in India.
Just in time for the new riding season. Nice.

On Brit bikes? No. Thankfully, this is a modern bike, so it's all metric and with good electrical lol.
