Various caveats on this, mainly in terms of sample size, but interesting nonetheless.



Well done Royal Enfield I say.

Bit of a shame he doesn't explore the prevalence of larger particles, I saw RE drop in the scales at a glance of those tables but even so - rather impressive I thought.

Rather encourages me in my thoughts of the 'new' 650.

If you Google green NCAP, you will amazingly find that the article is correct. I think the headline is a little tongue in cheek though!
