So, had to visit one of our vendors this afternoon, and lo and behold, they're just down the street from the local Triumph/Guzzi dealership, so I decided to stop in and peruse (and ask about the V100, which is now scheduled to arrive some time in March...)
On the used floor, they had a '21 Enfield Continental 650. It had either just been taken in on trade, or had been used by their staff, becuase unlike the other bikes in the showroom that were freshly polished up for sale, this one was pretty dirty and had clearly seen some rain riding and outside storage. It was a good opportunity to see one of these bikes in a condition that was clearly not pampered.
And, gotta say, it looked pretty good. Nothing was rusty, everything looked like it could be cleaned and polished up just fine, even if the nuts, bolts and plasics aren't completely up to Honda spec.
