"Well if I had money,I'd tell you what I'd do,I go downtown buy a Mercury Enfield or two.Crazy bout a Mercury Enfield,Lord I'm crazy bout a Mercury Enfield,I'm gonna buy me a Mercury Enfield & cruise it up & down the road." - 'Geezer (with apologies to Alan Jackson)
Very attractive! Similar in power to the 2000 W650 I rode for several years.
"Mercury Blues" is a song written by K. C. Douglas and Robert Geddins, and first recorded by Douglas in 1948.
'Mercury Boogie'? Are you referring to the car, the element or the radio program? As in 48 Merc coupe. Fun play toy before Play Doh? Radio theatre. (Alien's in NJ)? R3~
Why y'all be complaining about QC when ain't nunna y'all ever been there? Even Luigi has his off days...'Geezer
yup, tho I'm guessing the attention to detail on the W was a wee bit higher. Then again the rear fender on mine cracked & the peacock failed flooding the air box so who knows....
A friend of mine spent 9 mos touring India on an RE and went places up in the mountains along the Pakistan border on track used by the military that I would feel comfortable walking on. He took a ton of spares and didn't use any of them. Issues that he had were non folding foot pegs that broke off every time he feel, a back wheel that needed to be relaced because of broken spokes due to the load that he carried and a rear sprocket that essentially dissolved due to lack of proper hardening. Engine was good but suspension was definitely a week point.Cheers, Tim
I met a guy on Angles Crest that had a cafe'd RE. He said it was the most unreliable motorcycle he'd ever owned.. and the most fun. <shrug> So there's that..
To me they are somewhat overpriced. Was at the bike show int Toronto on the weekend and a dealer had RE's there and they wanted $7999 CDN for a Bullet. Sorry. you can buy a left over 2016 Bonnie for $9999CDN. No comparison. One thing though, you can scour the web and it is difficult to find used ones. Either the owners like them and won't part with them or there is a line up of ready buyers waiting to snatch used ones up.Cheers, Tim
