        Check Dominar, Mahindra Mojo. Both have very good touring characteristics.

          That means you are more towards tb500..Go for it. its a good bike.But do consider cbr250. A very capable bike plus comfortable.Take a test ride of both the bikes and then decide.
          Anyways I own a Tb 350, and I am happy with my decision

              Better you wait. Probably it may get AHO and BS4 upgradation as it is made mandatory from govt .

                  ABS? They're bullshitting you. I live behind one of the biggest Royal Enfield showrooms in Pune, talked to one of the persons there 30 minutes ago, he said there's no such news.

                  Probably BS4 compliant with AHO. But definitely not ABS.

                    Why not? Also add climate control HVAC and rain sensing wipers

                    On a serious note, ABS would work when the brakes are really good. That's when skid occurs.
                    Not when they're incapable of slowing down to begin with, haha.

                    P.S.: Owned a TBTS. Almost lost my hand.
                    Thought I'd put em to use, letting out my frustration.

                          If you are referring to the twinspark version then it's the same engine

                            But the RE dealer at Ludhiana says its different in the earlier TBTS(2008) ,( commonly called japani kit),

                                Just tested it and the beam is perfect. It works.
