Lovely! A twin may be in my future; the new 650 looks just the ticket.

Today on the road the Enfield met a real 40 years old oldie. It's owner also has 2 smaller sisters of him, the GT250 and 380. I like all 3.

No, don't think so.
Its name is Suzuki GT500 with a 2 stroke engine.
This bike has run over 114.000km with a motor revision at 85.000km. It's only in the same hands ever since it was first bought.

The Triton was a 2-stroke 500 cc Suzuki. As I recall forum member Tezza owns one. But maybe it preceded the GT500. In any event that Suzuki 500cc 2-stroke motor was a beauty.

I think the name "Triton" was for the US version.

In Germany the preceder of the GT500 was simply called T500 by Suzuki in the late sixties
A mixture of Triumph and Norton was called Triton. It had the Triumph's Bonneville engine and a Norton featherbed frame.

Fully understand your riding these two bikes.
It's very easy for me...
The Enfield is a little bit the opposite of the CB, reduced to the very essential of motorbiking the way it has started and in a way the Bullet stays with it slighty modernized til today.
Each motorbike has a charme if its own and wether you get it or you don't. I'm in the Enfield mood now and in the mood for my other 2 bikes since years. The Bullet has something very heartcatching while you look at her, drive her or even think of her. I love being motorbike emotional.

Love the Enfield, Wisedrum. I can definitely see (and feel) the appeal!

A sunny Pentecost monday, time to ride out to a lovely place at the sea and take a sunbath while the Bullet relaxes in the shadow of trees.

There's a showroom near me that sells RE bikes, and I will admit to feeling a strong pull to own one, though I don't think I ever will. For some reason i've never met a thumper that I like, once I ride it. i'm attracted to high numbers of cylinders, 4 or 6. Serious question: how does the RE perform compared to other ~500cc bikes? What's the reliability like long term?
