Enfield Bullet! I rode one when I lived in India in 99, delightful, retro and midlife crisis all at once. They're still made in India, almost exactly as they were in UK in the 50's, but with modern engine upgrades, so they start reliably.... more fun than a sportster, and no dentist-with-a-harley bullshit rep either...

I like retro... but not that retro.
I learnt on an MZ so I feel I've paid my dues already.

Congrats on the new bike. I was wondering if you got it or not. Looks like a great bike. Have fun!

*replace = replacementblaw - Is she the same height as you? I always wondered how it would work for shorter people. Is there a difference?juhls
- She's 5'4". This bike sits lower than mine. Easier to ride a shorter bike than one "too tall".blaw
- I can ride her current bike without issue. But it would be too cramped for me to go a couple hundred miles on comfortably.blaw
- ...comfortably.blaw
- nice, a woman who rides....morilla
- I see. Interesting. I'm not sure I would ever buy one, but I dig people who ride bikes :)juhls
- She rode with me for a while, then decided (correctly) that it's more fun up front.blaw
- Like the look of that a lot.JerseyRaindog
- I hope she lets me ride it.

You guys can't mod bikes in Europe? What are the rules?
- dyspl0
-JerseyRaindog : consider the kind of road you have, this will greatly influence the kind of bike you will enjoy or not.
- Small country lanes - not much clear road. 40mph island wide speed limit. That kind of thing...JerseyRaindog
- lot of corners, or straight lines?dyspl

Each country has its own law concerning bikes mods.
France is quite restrictive, and there's no way you can ride a bike with a different frame than the one originaly made for the bike.
and we are limited to 100cv (horsepower?).

Vespa 50 Jersey, its the only way to go.

I already have a 125 Vespa Horp - I'm looking at a second hand 250 gst Vespa this week and a Harley Sportster 883. Both the same price... but I would keep the Vespa if I bought the HD.

I were only joking Jersey... there's a thread about whether a 50cc would be good for mountain runs.
I love a Harley Sportser, I really think they are fucking smart...but it really is the definitive Midlife crisismobile for the discerning UK creative.
