I do like me a Royal Enfield.

Thanks for your comments @Rufus115, @petri oosthuizen, @JustBendIt. Ya, sounds like I should give it a miss.

Hi all, I have a question regarding an engine I've found for sale for a project that I'm thinking of doing. The engine is from a bike involved in an accident that was sold 'to defray expenses'. The cost, if not cheap, is reasonable, especially since I need quite a few extras besides just the...

Also have a look at XT 350s. Should come in under budget and ideal for what you describe. Kick start, though.

There were different models (NC24, NC30, etc). The one with the 100mm lights is, I think, the NC30.

Can't wait to see how this bike turns out. Looking great!

Very cool bike! Though I'm not sure that camouflage is the best idea for a motorcycle.

Beautifully done restoration! Trying to do something similar myself.

There's a low-mileage, nice-looking Dakar in the 'for sale' section at the moment: https://wilddog.net.za/forum/index.php?topic=257252.0 A bit outside of your budget, but it sounds like you're considering stretching it.

Retails for R22k? Is it a fuel-injected model?!

Is the whole front braking system available (caliper, caliper bracket, brake hose, master cylinder and lever)?

Can you not improve the suspension on the TW?

What are the differences with the European and American standards? Is it not worth the manufacturer's effort to tweak the model for different markets? Or are the differences so great that this isn't practical?

Good luck. Can I ask, what's your plan for these bikes?
