▲ Snapped on the Watsonian Squire stand at the 2011 Motorcycle Live Event at the NEC, this ultra-cool Royal Enfield-based bobber. Based on the new EFI unit construction 500cc engine, Chopper Squad of Evesham retained the engine, tank, seat, and tool boxes, mucked about with them, and then changed everything else. We love this bike to bits, but why didn't it proudly read Royal Enfield right up there on the tank?
If the factory starts knocking them out like this, we predict a stampede. Picture courtesy of: Dan Sager, Fabulous Biker Boys. Thanks, Dan.

Check out Sump's classic British Speedway photo review
Triumph Speed Twin & Tiger 100 buyer's guide It's been said many times, and with justification, that the public doesn’t know what it wants until it sees it. So it was with the seminal 498cc Triumph Speed Twin, launched at the London Motorcycle Show at Olympia in November 1937 ... (more)
