I coulnd't find an appropriate section to place this in, but there's news from the Morini-front, check this out (if you thought the Excaliburs are quite ridiculous, make sure you are seated :mrgreen: ):

A lot I think. I remember seeing 8 people (or at least 16 feet) in a Suzuki minivan in Delhi once... :shock:

But what about the new Morini powered custom? :roll:

Morini engine in an Enfield frame perhaps?

At least Morini should shift a few engines, which all helps the spares supply / demand!

Interesting to see the comment about the need to improve India's roads (posted in the comments section under the news article...). The same could be said for the UK roads - although the GP is also pretty useful in fording the spill-over of the Thames down in the sunny south of England at present!

Having experienced those Indian roads, and the drivers, riders, cyclists, buses, pedestrians, bullocks, elephants etc, I think a 350 Bullet is quite fast enough!

Apparently it's going to be sold in Europe as well:
