That RE is a thing of great beauty and joy - to my eyes.
They are going to out Triumph Triumph with that bike!!
Would I buy one - you bet!!!
Dealer estimate is that it will be about £6K OTR.
The Triumph "Classic" range has got too big, to complex and far too expensive. An equivalent Bonneville would be about £9k. My Thruxton R is now around £13K with a few accessories..that is silly.
And for the purist, Royal Enfield has never had a production break, in the way Triumph did. When the Redditch factory closed the Madras one was already making Bullets.
Now that the Bonnie is made in Thailand and the RE in Madras, location of manufacture is un important. Interesting RE has opened a design and engineering centre in the UK.
Off on the Thruxton for the first run of the year this afternoon.
