British Bikes / Royal Enfield, what to do now
« on: March 15, 2012, 10:02:40 PM »
I am new to the forum, so card is behind the bar.
I really had to have a 60's cafe racer in my life and by chance sourced a bike. I don't want a show piece but something to bible around on to Boxhill and the ACE.
I am now in two minds after picking the bike up.
I really don't know a lot about classic bikes and this bike in particular. What I think I know:
Its a 63 Enfield 250 Continental and I think all the bits are there. The big question is do I restore to factory original or restore to a usable bike and risk the chance of being skinned alive by purists.
I race supermoto's so not a complete numbly but will send the motor to an expert.
Any opinions or advise will be appreciated.
