All the Enfields are Indian made, they bought the tooling from the Uk aeons ago.
Pretty crude machines though, I wouldn't be too keen on one myself.
It is indian, and I would agree with the crude statement.
However, it is single cylinder, single spark, single carb, kick start. A bit of 12v electrics here and there and it is the "newer" 5 speed. It is about as raw a bike as you can get, and agreed, while it may not be to everyone's taste, it is a joy to ride (when it's running) and it is the only bike that I was quite happy to potter about on on icy roads.
It is also one of the only bikes that one can take apart, fix, and put back together at the side of the road

...seeing as we're on the subject, I have a project, and I've decided NOT to finish it........was for the SO, but she's decided.........it'll ruin her hair/nails/whatever.....:rolleyes:
Complete, was running, so it's not actually broken, but is does need tlc......pity, really, but I've so much (other) broken stuff there's a cloud over my head.......:(
I have given first dibs to a young fella down the road, but only 'til the week-end, then it's open season.
Form an orderly queue, and start your brown envelopes now .....:)
Oh, and the bike is a 1977 Yamaha DT175 Enduro, 1G1 series. UK plates, previously cleared, but not re-reg'd.
Should look like this, but, er, doesn't, quite......
A quick google turned up this link, btw: http://www.aircooledrdclub.co.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13325&PN=3Ode To The Motorist
“And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”
