Enfield Continental GT: or The Garage Continues to Fill

I had heard the news about Enfield releasing a new model called the Continental GT.

It looked super cool in the pictures. 

 
Reviews called it a bit underpowered but said it sounded great and had lots of soul.

I don't really need to go a hundred miles an hour any more.  And I can do that on my R1.  So the GT seemed to be an interesting bike for me.

It took them a while to come to Canada but I went and looked at one in a shop here in BC.

I bought one - new with only 6km on it.  It's the first vehicle I have ever bought new.  So far I have only put 50km on it for break in.



I'm going to get some bar end mirrors to replace the ugly old mirrors that are on it.  And the muffler is a bit fat and non-retro - kind of looks out of place on it - so that needs to get binned.  They also make red fenders for it - which again look very chic.

Overall it's a very cool bike and I am quite pleased with it.  Kick and electric start.  Disc brakes. And new.  Nice to have the funds.
