Thanks for allowing me to join. I have just passed my bike test, direct access, at the age of almost 62 and am looking at buying a new bike.

The style of bike is a classic and the one that has caught my eye is the Street Twin. I have yet to ride one as the demonstrator was not ready for me this week.

I tried a Royal Enfield Interceptor which was okay but not what I expected after reading up about how good they were.

So looking for advice. Must have ABS as daughter is a Dr in A&E so not happy with getting one anyway, which all the Street Twins have. But reading up on 2015/6 models they appear to get some stick for the front brake being less than great and the 2019 models have a 4 pot caliper so suggests that may be correct.

Riding will be just for fun so not looking at breaking records on speed but want safety as much as possible.

Anyone have an opinion, will buy new if need be but being from Yorkshire if a low mileage earlier model will work out then happy to have used.

Thanks in advance
