The little Trumpet I always thought to be one of the most underrated bikes I’ve ever ridden, the naked version is a real hoot too!
The Speed-Four is super rare, only ever seen a couple. I understand a fire at the factory badly impacted on the production of that model in particular
I was going to wonder out today but had family visiting. Took them up to my local bikers cafe for a salad…
Glad to see somebody out!
Looks better with it tighter to the tyre for sure!
Look like you have been inspiring people…
Well mOT passed and I have been out a couple of times since, but when I parked it up last time I noticed a strong whiff of fuel. Sure enough there is what appears to be a sticky float or something wrong with one of the carbs. So I have popped into a local bike shop I am friendly with for them to remove, clean, re-fit and balance them. Should improve the riding experience a bit.
It did have a slight misfire. I had just fitted new plugs bought at a good price from ebay. I was suspicious…so I bought a fresh set from my local dealer and fitted them last night. The bike ran much better this morning on the way to the shop. Lesson learnt methinks!
Mudguard sits very high, it is more noticeable now it is shortened:
Dropping it 15mm will still leave quite a bit of clearance all the while I stay off the green lanes!
The height is a bit more obvious in that shot. Can you gey a local engineering shop to machine the mounting boss on the mudguard?
Cheers for the links
Sad to report that ED Cosker appears to have ceased trading. I was at the dealership today and it is all closed up and mostly empty inside…
That Himalayan looks like an adventure bike you could actually have an adventure on…when are you riding it and where? I would love to blag a go too at some point.
In the meantime I will look forward to your review!
Hmmm – the dealer I had lined up in Stroud has just ditched RE to concentrate on Beemers
Have you tried this lot
Watsonian Squire
Unit 70, Northwick Business Centre, Blockley, Moreton-in-Marsh, Glos GL56 9RF, UK
Tel: 01386 700907 Company No: 02319399Good to see the project continuing!
I am surprised you want to bring the mudguard closer to the tyre, it already looks quite close
Would you have links to where you got the bits like the headlamp and mini mirrors etc from?
I also tried the Multistrada..for the future of course!! However I found the seat far too wide..really dug into my thighs when I had my feet on the ground…..
The salesman said you can get an after market Touratech one that’s a fair bit slimmer…but why should I have to??
Fair point they are an expensive bike (as so many are now). A friend of mine has just traded in his Panigale for one and so far he seems to be enjoying it
Great write-up Radar!
Jed and I went on Thursday trying to get a couple of calendars, but ended up with a Powerbronze hugger each (and I ordered a Beowulf can for the Tiger
). No calendars though! You didn’t mention the Royal Enfield Himalayan – their 410cc adventure bike that they’ve got Euro4 compliant and intend importing around spring-time. I’ve got a test-ride lined up…
