It's a Royal Enfield not a Triumph.

Mine starts first pedal every time, and no oil leaks

That's not a motorbike, it's a Car with 2 wheels

Almost as big as my Fiat 500 parked next to it.😉

OK for touring around the pot holed roads of India and they run alright on Indian 'petrol' but dog slow (even the 500cc version)

They're quick compared to the diesel version they used to produce!

Where does the King keep his chickens?
In the Royal Enfield!

0-60 in about 40 seconds as I recall. A CG125 would run rings around one.

A bit of a cult following though.

How about a Honda Goldwing, taken in May last year and posted at the time on CC.😉

I think Judge Dredd might consider that a bit too big and heavy

Developed for the military, I recall. The purpose being that they used they same fuel as all the other vehicles.

According to a very impressed Henry Cole, him off The Motorbike Show who got on it determined to hate it, a very well balanced bike even at low speeds. He likened it to riding a one bedroom flat.

Frank Crank .... As far as I know ...RE have been making Enfields since 1955, for their local market .... We stopped making them in the UK in 1970, when it all moved to india ...So anything newer than 1969 anywhere, was made in india. However they do now have a design studio back in the UK.

I have heard of folk that fly over to india, pick up their new bike and ride it back to the UK.... Can't say I think thats a good idea, but it'd be an amusing trip.

Oh and a bit of info that I always thought odd .... fancy car's always seem to come from farm impliment folk ... Lambo - Tractors / Aston Martin from David Brown Tractors.
However motorcycles have come from the weapons industry .... BSA - Birmingham Small Arms / Royal Enfield - From Enfield Rifles
