Modern Royal Enfield review

If it had spoked wheels , better styled forks,a nice looking exhaust system instead of a square one
A black seat etc I'd consider buying one
 
at Mallory bike festival yesterday, RE had a stand in the paddock staffed by guys from their R and D department: top tip to improve power on 650 twin: bore out inlet tract to diameter of inlet valve( do other details given, and skim head by 1mm, and gives 15-20 more hp.
They also had the flat tracker they use for the UK championship, which has big bore, reworked valve angles ,gas flowing , ( keeps the electric start , so we heard it running) and two stage oil pump with reworked outer cover to supply secondary oil supply to cylinder head for cooling, and a Harris brazed frame, and gives 96hp...!

Wish I’d checked that out !
 
Ok most know I'm very happy with my modern Royal Enfields, I'd like to add a couple more reasons for my satisfaction. Today I decided to do some routine maintenance, mainly adjust valves. Of course I had to remove seat and gas tank. Fuel lines had quick disconnect fittings- easy peasy!
Then thanks to manual, supplied free from factory, the cam has lines with L and R that you line up to set valves right and left side. Removed o-ringed plug from left side engine cover to access the crank nut to easily index cam for valve setting. When reassembling I noticed controls, relays are Bosch! Everything was easy to access! What more do you want for $7000 out the door! (2020 price)
