Thank you for all the interest.
@Jan_P, that is a beauty - true classic! Love its stance, sit-up-and-beg handlebar.
Obviously, what the new bikes are trying to echo, IMHO much better than some retro/pastiche on offer from other manufacturers. Just compare that image with the one @650Skull put up - I think the new bikes capture the spirit of the old ones? Helps if you mentally turn the engine t'other way round.
@TX650A Van Islander that bike really suits its fork gaiters - stop spending my pocket money!
Gonna start a new thread, then this can revert to the tale of the Bullet. Might wait till I have the bike here though.
