[url=https://royalenfield.com/motorcycles/twins/interceptor]Royal Enfield Interceptor, air-cooled twin, about 47 HP/444 lbs., 18" wheels front/rear. All new design. 2018 model.

This one is also on my list of possibilities next year.

I have my eye on that as well. Nice looking bike. Wish I had $$ and room for 3-4 of the "retro-classic" genre.

I already know one fellow whose put the sporty version on his list for 2018. It just has all the right ingredients. Power, weight, looks are all right where they need to be. And air-cooled, but a huge oil cooler.

Price is right, too.

Take a look at this video; it explains the development of the all-new twin. 270-degree crank, too.

This is really just what we need to introduce new folks to riding and also provide a big with an instant "cool" factor to traditional riders.

It's a much smaller bike than the CB1100 but it's right up there on the list for me.

I would love to see this thing in production. I'd buy one and put it next to my Wolf Classic 150 in the garage.

Hey, I just remembered. That Wolf Classic fits the retro bill perfectly. Air-cooled, 18" front wheel, 17" rear, kick start with a real carburetor. And only $3K.

I rode the Sym Wolf. I was looking for the flush lever. Awful. So low tech it felt dangerous.
