Title: Back When Bikes were Easy !
Post by MMRanch on 10/16/26 at 13:46:23

It's a rainy day here in TN so I'm not ridding today. But look what I found !!

I had one when I was 19. It is a super reliable machine that I often took on vacation to France. Powerful enough for 2 people with luggage. Pretty fast too. And if you ride in the rain, you can ride verry long distances at full throttle on the highways without any problems; with two people and luggage, you could easily reach 100+ miles and get to your destination quickly. I have owned many motorcycles, but I personally found this to be the most practical. Repairs were also very simple. There is even a small hatch on the underside of the engine so you can work on the gearbox, for example to replace your shift forks.

I think the price is quite high for a machine that isn't original. But if that 15,000 miles is the actual mileage... then you can enjoy it for a long time.

Its a easy bike indeed !

It's 50 years old this year ! About 14 months ago I gave $4,550 (+ Tax, title + tag.) for a New two year old RE Interceptor 650. After finding a comfortable Touring Seat and adding a Belt Drive system to it , I like it.
But , its "ordinary" and "adequate" ... so I still have the "wondering eye" when I see other bikes . ::) Those Bikes of Yester-Year seem to be more eye catching than any of the New Stuff !
