    Yeah obviously... Isn't it b'coz they've replaced the basic chrome based design to black one !?

        Perhaps that is one of the reasons. In bits and pieces parts look refreshingly good and of better quality than the previous one, but as a whole its weird and looks like a modified TBTS with better quality parts and paint finish.In short I felt like it was a replica of lot of other bikes

                  • i was glued to the Thunderbird 500 official website..as it was showing dat it will arrive in an 59mins,but as soon as the clock hit 3pm,its again showing that the ultimate highway cruiser will arrive in 23hrs 55mins and some seconds.Very disappointing with this act of Royal Enfield.

                      Buddy, the bike is ready for display in many showrooms. there must be some technical issue with the website...

                        Ya bro,even i know that and the bike has already reached here in Bangalore,in fact we can take test rides from next week,but it harms the bike's reputation when something so silly happens,i mean the error in their website.I again checked it and now its showing the counting which had started from 1 and has reached till 45 now.God knows when will they stop teaching us counting and unveil the website. Ya and one thing which is really disappointing is today the bike got launched and people are least interested in this thread.It was not like this at the launch of duke pulsar and cbr.
