I agree. I can do all the work on my Bandit myself. I have owned fuel injected late-model bikes and all is great until something goes wrong.....then you pretty much have to trailer it home as you can't fix most engine issues on the road. If Royal Enfield could make a reliable product, I would buy one in a heartbeat. Unf. people who like to wrench on their own bikes are a rare breed. Hell, most of the bike owners I know won't even change their own OIL! Plus emissions laws are getting so much more stringent....basically they are trying to legislate the internal combustion engine out of existance! The Nancy Pelosi's and Al Gore's of the world want us riding around in a golf cart while they commute by limo and jet!
Plus, the criteria for a good bike, according to most people/jorno's is simply HP/Torque numbers....
Combine these factors and you have bikes that your avg. shade tree mechanic can't touch. On the other hand, it's been this way for cars for a while now.
