Wife's trying to persuade me to go for it, & get one of these, after saying I liked them
There's a dealer at Newton Hill, just on northern outskirts of Wakefield

It's very pretty and has an appeal, but on the other hand £5k could get you an immensely more capable modern machine a couple of years old. Not sure I'd want to get on the Enfield and drive to Italy on it say
Or if you really want a RE, a little bit more buys an Interceptor

yebbut the one he mentioned is a lot prettier, and any of the Enfields are very low tech, so I'd get the pretty one if going down that road

Im thinking of selling the Max. Apart from journeying to the MOT it hasn't been riddden in 14 months. Its a nicer bike than the fizzer, but the fizzer is a very rare derivative and has great sentimental value, so that won't go.
Im thinking of getting a Maxi scooter, a Burgervan or Leadenwing. I'm decades past thinking I was a big tough bikerboy, or wanting to get my knee down, and would appreciate something that I can just hop on and bimble about localish on.

a nice Yamaha XT 250 would be cooler than a maxi scooter

Cool doesn't figure on my list.
Fleet reduction going tremendously, 'accidentally' bought this a couple of weeks back...
...that seat (and the 'Madness' spare wheel) cover will be changed asap. This one has a mildly tuned 200 engine, with bigger (28mm, iirc) carb etc. I thought my black S3 Li with a 175 kit on it went well, but this thing is insane. If I keep it then I think a respray is on the cards , just not keen on the colour combo.

Nothing wrong with a 500 / 535 Royal Enfield. We used to sell them, the UCE is a very reliable engine.
More of a plodder but they have a unique character all of their own.
Have a ride on one and see what you think.
