A Royal Enfield upright single, 500cc.

My understanding is that the Indian division of Royal Enfield was established while the mother company was still alive and well. When the original company folded, someone bought the Indian facility, plus I suppose, the registered trademarks and such and kept right on going.
So here we have something that would stand shoulder to shoulder with the classic Triumphs and BSA's and such. But it's brand new. And in today's dollars, the price is not all that high.
I'm tempted simply because of it's beauty. I'm definitely not going to go for it because I'd have not all that much use for it and better uses for that money.
But if I were younger, then I'd really consider this bike.
