    Not against Bonneville but just asking.
    India is a funny unpredictable/market.

    On one hand it seems that full faired models (no matter however badly done) can easily command eyeballs and premium. On the other hand models like the Royal Enfield Classic has turned the fortunes for Royal Enfield and currently has a 10 -12 month waiting period.

    Not to mention pricing makes a lot of difference as well. Therefore its not very easy to comment.

    Such a bike also probably shows one's mature taste in bikes. Our own Royal Enfield Classic has been a big hit in India. Not every body wants to ride a Super Sports crotch rocket.

    Triumphs have been always my favourites.

    They (I4's) have got one the most beautiful exhaust notes and their build quality is top class.

    The mail was from their PR in Hinckley. I have quoted a portion of the long detailled mail.
    So anything else noteworthy in that email?

    will have to wait and watch..

    They apparently haven't decided whether to import to go ahead with CKD operations... They do plan to have dealerships up and running by next year though...

    On the bonelville, the carbs are just to disguise and keep retro effect... it s a fuel injected bike. Its beautiful!
