These have been such a hit they are way behind on production.

Interestingly enough, the Czech Jawa made a 650cc single, Rotax powered a few years ago, don't know whether the Indians will come up with something similar. My first bike was a Jawa 350 twin, in the sevneties.

Interesting; 2 stroke(old) or 4 stroke(new), they still use dual exhausts! Suzuki take note!
cheers!  Cool

Suzuki take note: EFI and ABS at a similar price point to the LS650!

Jawa & Royal Enfield all very cool , but I’m waiting to see the new BSAs. I really like Enfield 650s. I love all the 60s retro bikes , before cruiser and rice rocket were even thought of , it was just called a motorcycle.

One of the "requirements" that I believe is important for any of these retro singles (if they want to make any sales in the US) - is the ability to keep up with traffic on the highway.  Even the tiny Smart Cars, Prius and other "eco" cars can go 70-75 mph without a problem......owning a motorcycle that struggles to reach 60 mph and can only be ridden on backroads or downtown is really going to limit the sales.

I agree Dave and would add that these bikes should have adequate suspension capability for riding in the crumbling infrastructure states like PA where a rider can easily get pitched off because of overwhelmed suspension at the 75+ mph you have to maintain to not be a target for aggressive drivers.

Meh...can't ride any worse than we have with the LS650.  Probably an improvement.

Mine rides like a magic carpet. It’s because it’s constantly airborne on PAs highways beyond 65 mph!   Shocked

Ruttly,
I'm with you. Just give me a motorcycle.

I suspect unfortunately that we are a minority. :'(
