@protesialbanese I use mine for the freeway commute at 70 mph, and it is returning 59 miles per U.S gallon. Others who ride mostly secondary roads report better, sometimes in the 70s.

@haddytube1 Thanks. "Standard Black"... good to know.

I have to admit that I'm modifying it some. I added a luggage rack and have mounted a suitcase from the 1940s or 1950s, so that I can have some carrying capacity. I'm also adding a windshield. I'm riding at 70 mph in rush hour traffic, so I have to be practical. The suitcase is okay, but the windshield does spoil the look.

what is the fuel consumption rate?

Hey mate, an Aussie Enfield fan here and I'm gonna get the B5 when the SWAMBO approves. I love the kick starter. Can you please post a video of you kick starting this magnificent bike if possible?

Also, do you know if accessories from the older carby Enfield classics are compatible?
