In my little fleet I have a Honda NTV (shaft drive 650cc 'V' twin) and a 1960 Royal Enfield 500cc Big Head Bullet. The latter is one of only 175 ever built, so a bit of a rare bird.

i don't have a jim yet but i will get one as my first 4 wheeled transport.
i have been rideing for 3 years since i was 16 and hope i never stop.
my first bike was a ts 50 and what a fun little bike it was.
then i got a Yamaha dt 125 one of the reasons i want a jim tbh i love going down the lanes and know 90% of them with in a 50miles radius of my house.
i allso run it on supermoto wheels for the bendy roads
my latest bike is a honda NTV 650 as said by Grasshopper shaft driven, mine is a bit difrent as i have a zx6r rear end on it.
my ones on the left and my brothers ntv is on the right.
soon there will be a jim parked on the grass i cant wait

The best bike on here by far Tadpole!
I drooled over a few nice old Triumphs at the Classic Motor Show at the NEC where there was a small Classic Bike show too.

Hi ToySoldier
Are you or your brother members of the NTV owner forum. If not you should be, with two of these great bikes in your family.
I have been riding bikes 51 years now always big Brits. However a couple of years ago I was working overseas and with an afternoon off I hired some American style Honda chopper thing but it had the NTV 'V' engine installed. I rode from Spain to Gib and back, it sold me onto the big torque smooth engine and vowed that if I could get a ordinary road going bike with that engine I would buy one. Thus another addition to my fleet (thankfully as a heavy transport fleet engineer I'm used to looking after numbers)
Like my Jimny it puts a smile on my face, I am very proud of the old Enfield 'Bullet' it to makes me smile but also makes my teeth chatter from vibration off that "big bang" single.
