... Arguably...
Urals? Unquestionably a good bike, if a little rough in the ride.
Hmmm I'm very likely moving to Madras (Wife is indian and says its still Madras to her and not Chennai ~good old forced name changes~). I will most likely be getting a Royal Enfield. The bikes are made exactly like they were in the 50's -60's which I think is cool on its own but is also a bike you can work on yourself. My mother in law long ago was looking into shipping one over from India (she could get it cheaper including the shipping to the US than it would cost to get one here) but the restrictions of shipping an engine due EPA regulations ect are pretty severe.
MacMillian, and if I go way back I've found some lines that have Kerr, Home, Maxwell, and Campbell
