Test rode the Continental 650 GT last year, loved every bit of its retro quirk.... especially the air-cooled engine, coz it's a proper 270-crank twin!

But for the asking price, hell no...!!

During Art of Speed last month, the RE guys told me the Scam 411 had just arrived but they haven't gotten around to price it yet.

I found out that for the Interceptor & Continental GT, valve clearance job needs to be done every 5000km - that's at every oil change.

Bloody hell, so mafan meh... but I really like that raw 270-deg aircooled engine! Tons of character.

Whoahhh... yumyum....

Hope the new RE 650 Scrambler manages to find its way here.

2023 Interceptor is out, finally featuring tubeless rims. Plus a USB charging port, plus blacked-out engine & exhausts. Prefer the chrome of the current model though.

Naaaaiiisssssss...

Where to find ah?

Currently there are kits to enable tubeless tyres to be fitted on tubed rims - basically spoke plugs and silicone sealant or strip, which I think isn't that much different from the popular bodge of smearing windscreen silicone along the center of the rim. Are any of these methods reliable? Will the silicone eventually come off the rim?

Having a flat tyre from a leak in the silicone is the absolute worst coz you can't fix it on the side of the road with the usual flat tyre kit (cacing & mini electric pump).

Bloody hell..!!!
