Honda also lists one for a few dollars more. Don't know why I didn't get them to throw in when I made the deal. :roll:

$229 ! Yep, that would have been a good idea . ;)

It's a little strange that a bike that good and that size doesn't have a centre stand as standard equipment .

He'll be needing some fork gaiters as well. Garnet's not the kind of guy to walk around with his zipper down, and not have any underpants on.

Very few bikes on my short list had a centre stand standard. I think Royal Enfield was the only one.

It's called trolling, or in my case, comic relief. :lol:

I hope you don't have buyers regret when Kenco (our local Royal Oilfield dealer) gets in the Continental GT!

You may be in trouble here. And yes it comes with a center stand, as any practical bike will!

29 HP....oh well.

I had to buy a center stand for my KTM, but it was reasonably priced and a very well turned out bit. Are Austrians just more demanding Germans?

For sure they're a lot funnier.

Besides, I had a wife who was demanding. I didn't like it.

I don't know if Austrians really have more of a sense of humor than Germans, but they certainly have more of a sense of humor about Germans.
