A very pretty motorbike! It is getting crowded in the light-weight low-capacity retro-bike scene from the east: a few Royal Enfields, the Honda H'ness, Jawa Perak, Benelli Imperiale. Then there are the Kawasaki's W800 and Z650RS.
I assume they initially go for the UK & European market. Who knows the USA and Canada may follow. But BSA then needs at least some dealers. That is not so easy, even for a big player like Mahindra (see e.g. Piaggio/Aprilia/Guzzi for how NOT to do it). I am impressed with RE and their rapidly growing dealer network here in Canada.
