It looks rather nice but I have severe doubts about the brakes. They are barely adequate on the 350 so the 700 should really have something a tad better. -- 03 GS500K2 76 Honda 400/4 project 68 Bantam D14/4 Sport (Classic) 06 Sukida SK50QT (Slanty eyed shopping trolley)

The local advertising slogan is "everyone moves over for a bullet" or something like that. Not sure if the cows are included in that though. When I rode an Enfield around India, the time I felt most vulneable was when the horn stopped working. It's a more vital piece of safety equipment than brakes or helmet. The brakes were shite anyway, plus the rear brake was much better than the front, which had almost no power (despite being the uprated 500cc version) and made the bike weave horribly when applied!
