  • Is this the new RE thunderbird 500 being ridden by SRK?

    Friends, came across these pics.
    What do you think? Is it RE Thunderbird 500?

    Actually it does look like the Thunderbird 500 that was showcased at the Auto Expo.

    Have a look here for comparison



    Very irresponsible on the part of Shah Rukh Khan to ride the bike helmetless / with an unstrapped helmet though.

    Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

            Now this might be a totally awesome way of launching the bike,that too world wide.....
            So can we expect it to launch,when the movie releases??
            And please never ask Srks/Salmans to give their ride reports,they are no way,true bikers.....

              What's the big deal guys.... we don't need Sharukh khan's or anyone else's opinion to choose a Bullet or to prove the RE's Greatness....

              We love RE and we will always... though its great if SRK loves the RE too... One more RE fan then

                Really unnecessary thread. When thousands of people ride RE, whats the big deal when any other person rides it? When the new TBTS 500 is set to launch sometime later, many people will ride, will there be a thread for everyone?

                  Neil Armstrong was the first person to step on the moon. Many others stepped on the moon after this event. Do we remember everyone?

                  I bet you can't even tell who #2 was without googling for it .

                  Anyways, this is a well known form of marketing used by other Manufacturers too.

                  1. During the Movie 'Don 2', SRK Drove the 'yet to be launched in India' Hyundai Sonata
                  2. During the Movie 'The Da Vinci Code', A man on the bus had a 'Soon to be launched' Sony Ericsson W550
                  3. During the Movie 'Casino Royale', Daniel Craig had a Sony Ericsson K800. That movie released a few days before the phone was launched.

                    July 22nd is what I had heared from the showroom manager...not sure though. waiting for it to come out. Am just thinking about giving off my 535 and go for this modern 500...hope it would justify the Upgrade / Downgrade

                      BTW the last time I saw a Royal Enfield being featured in a movie was Chachi 420. Kamal Hassan rides it remember ?

                              this means the launch is round the corner. this is the first RE bike that had generated real interest in me, when launched at auto expo.
