    I took this picture a few weeks ago. Seemed like a bike you don't see around here a lot, but I don't really know. Is it British?

    It's a Royal Enfield Himilayan. Originally a British bike, but I think they are now built in India. Looks like an interesting bike!

    The Royal Enfield factory was moved to India, I think in the 1950's. Last I heard they were the biggest MC manufacturer in India (and India has a HUGE motorcycle market, mostly due to the fact that motorcycles are cheaper than cars, easier to store, park, etc and the weather generally means you can ride year 'round in most of India.)

    RE introduced a line of 2 cyl motorcycles a couple of years ago. There is at least one RE dealer in the Metro area, Foothills, which also sells Triumph and BMW.

    I used to have a t-shirt that read: "ROYAL ENFIELD: Makes an Ordinary Man into a Mechanic."

    Here is my KTM 500 EXC-F on a Tenderfoot Mountain trail ride in Dillon this past summer. There is an extensive single track trail system up there that is a blast to ride. If you are in to trail riding and haven't had a chance to check this trail system out give it a go next summer!!!

    Here's my bike...2017 Africa Twin, slightly enhanced. It's the manual version, no DCT for me. Those are fly fishing rods inside the left pannier. If I had to design a bike for Colorado, it would look a lot like the AT.

    I'm looking to get a new bike next year, I'm torn between the KTM-890 and the Africa Twin.

    I realize there's a big difference in engine size, but they both appeal to me.

    If I was going KTM I?d probably go with the 790 Adventure R.

    But you do you.

    I really like the 790, but it's discontinued being replaced by the 890, same frame. Piston is only a few mm larger in diameter, stroke increased by another few mm.

    It would be nice to find it at a local dealer to get a feel for the fit, but they can't keep them in stock. The early 2021 890's are already sold.
