    Got to know that TB500 is lauching in Mumbai and Pune on 13th Oct. TB350 and TB500 would be same on all points apart from engine including rear disc brake.

    There is a change in rear swing arm which will help the bike for a good stability and top end. proce expected is 1.75 ex.

        the article says it will be available in three colours - midnight black, arctic winter black & matte black. while one will be glossy black and other matte black is simple to understand, i wonder what is the third shade of black.

        price is expected to be around 1.75 lakhs. and TBTS 350 will also be getting all the changes of thunderbrd 500.

                1.75 is ex and OTR would be close to 1.9L Now it's going to a sales drop surely, becuase we have more better product from Honda ABS in 2.10L

                TBTS350 is hiked by10-15K.

                No it's same!! not much difference, just design changes makes it feel small, that's what my friend said!!

                Cafe Racer is their next target by 2014.

                  Someone else just posted that it would be the same except 1) Engine and 2) Only Single Disc Brake. Is this information of yours newer ? Did RE decide to finally offer dual disc brake on even their TB350 ?

                      Nop all those colors are stopped now. Only shades of black available now, guess designer was a big fan of Batman.

                      Besides these are just rumors not official. RE is still tight lipped on 350, even their countdown page indicates a launch of TB500 but no word on 350 yet. But one thing is true TB350 is gonna change. If you ask What change ? We cant tell anything for sure yet. Keep waiting for Oct 11

                        Though early to mention, but if the rear disk brake assembly could be fitted on the Classic series then that will the first thing that is gonna happen on many classics.

                          i got this doubt as RE always keeps 1 or 2 special color options exclusive to its 500cc range of vehicles...like desert storm color and that teal green color option...similarly what im guessing is matte black & winter black are gonna be exclusive 500cc colors and that black engine is also gonna be exclusive 500cc...i feel they are gonna continue the existing colors with 350cc only changing the styling of the vehicle...

                            Yes, as my friend said there are many changes in design also, swingarms are now mod for better speed stability, chains adjustment are to given now, as he said. and even TBTS 350 will come with rear disc brake and different colors, i guess previous colors are too stopped.

                            Classic don't have a speed stable design, current limitation are fine with classic, becuase if you add a disc to rear with existing unstability at higher speed then you won't enjoy the brakes!!

                            So it's better they redesign like TB500 for classic and then add a rear disc brake!! As my friend said , TB500 will have better top speed and stability then any RE.
