Hi Ted
What sort of Enfield was it that they were working on? When I went for a test ride on one of the "new" models - the Interceptor 650 - it was really smooth and was pretty well silent valve wise (well compared to my old airhead BMW most things are quiet, but I have developed an ear for valve noises). When I have seen the Himalayan running out and about they have been pretty quiet too, not just demonstrators either.
