    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

They just released a cam's and big bore kits that gives the RE INT6550 some much needed hp bumps.
However in person I was expecting the bike to be much smaller than my Bonneville T120, weight wise it felt the same as my T120. I don't think I would ever get one as it's just too much like the Bonneville but considerably slower...
They do make a 865cc kit and cam which would in theory get you close to the 70hp level, it's really a Bonneville clone at that point.
They are a great value though! I saw one new for $4500. I would choose a RE over a Kawasaki... Just a bit anemic, stock:

HOWEVER
I could see myself making a scrambler with one... One day, maybe. Issue is I love my current bikes in my fold too much to make room for a bike I may not love in the long run.
Best,

Hmm - 24 HP, 430 lbs and 75 mph top speed

Thanks, but all 3 of my dual sports can outspec that.

Plus, you might want to come to the US and buy one, they're about $4,000 over here

Yep, but riding it to Norway is going to be a challenge. lol
 
Noreg, you must be familiar with Norily known as Itchy Boots on you tube. She is from your area and rode a Himalayan 400 over a few continents. Look her up and you will get all the info you need on this machine.
