ya, the production and the booking of 500LB is stopped. As you said the 500 UCE is FI and the 350 is carb. But the Price factor is wrong..

^^ If you have some insights about the price please do share .. I m saving.


I am really excited about the launch ... hope the sales guy is right about Diwali launch. :P

The price estimates were given by the sales guy... may be he wanted to put me off and go for Machismo or may be he was not sure. But i do agree he was not taking booking for LB500 when I 1st met him.

Would be going next week, hope this time I convince him for a pic

I got a mail from RE asking about my information and also states that "You will hear from us soon, so get ready to experience the exhilaration."

BTW , pics from noida showroom of the classic can be seen on t-bhp bullet classic thread.

Those are not Indian Showroom pics. I have seen the Indian version they come with rear seats.

Waiting for Diwali now.

These are very much from india,machismo 500 is not available abroad . Pics courtesy : Parm@teambhp

and I got a mail from RE saying -

Quote:
We will be launching the Classic 500 in India on 4th November 2009.

We will be communicating the price on the launch date.

Generally all dealers accept a booking amount of Rs. 10,000/- and collect the balance amount once the vehicle is ready. Delivery of the vehicle depends on the production plan. It may vary from 4 to 12 weeks depending on the location.

Comparison of the Domestic Classic 500 EFI with the Export Classic 500 EFI:

Differences are basically related to motorcycle regulations in force in different countries. Further, the exhaust emission norms vary between India, Europe and U.S.A. In view of the emission regulation, construction of silencer and other sensors have been modified to meet the emission norms.

I talked to RE today.

This is what the rep told me:

1.The Classic will surely be launched within the next month.

2.Bookings have not started yet .What they are doing is registering interested buyers.Once you get registered they'll contact you when booking starts.He advised me to get registered with my nearest dealer.

3.He was tight lipped on the price.

I can't wait for the launch.

The red and off white RE classic C5 is a gem! Look forward to November when these beauties will be in the stores ...

It would be expensive - 2 lakhs does not seem way off the mark. This is a different animal from the 'made for India' bulls we are used to seeing and buying, so expect to pay way more.
