          My Heart skips a beat when I look at so many TB500 eagerly awaiting their companions !!!

          Also looks like RE decided to go with black mirrors instead of Chrome mirrors
          I personally would have preferred Chrome one's...

              Considering the below host of new features I think 1.75lac is justifiable,

              1) Projector Headlamp/LED Tail lamp
              2) Rear Diskbrake
              3) Powder coated the engine in Black
              4) Hazard Lamp/Position Light, New Electronic speed/rpm console
              5) Central Lock at Ignition
              6) 7~7.5 odd liters of extra Tank capacity
              7) Removable side covers with Key Lock, Removable seats
              8) New Rider Seat, New Handle, Heavy 41mm forks at front, New Swing arm

              With all the above features I think the INR 25000 more than classic 500 is justifiable...I am worried the ex-showroom will be more than 1.75 lac
              Mind that everybody is saying that, this will the expensive RE compared to all, so keeping fingers crossed.

                In auto expo I think it was rectangle shaped chrome mirrors, but now its black, it doesnt look good.

                Yep. It is. But if you look at it that way even C500 chrome/desert storm are also over priced.

                @All any update on TB350 price.

                        Wowww. But one most imp. thing not working at my end is images from gallery. Can anyone see gallery in this new page layout/design or is it only me?
                        But hey, has anyone noticed the Thunderbird Twinspark's page !? The silencer there looks completely different and most surprisingly NO OTHER CHANGES !!? Ohh please RE don't crush our fantasies. I hope to find a nice machine upgrade after 2 PM today.... Plsss.....

                          No, in auto expo too they were the same black mirrors. I also don't like them. They look the same as on Bajaj Platina... I'm going to change them to Avenger's mirror on my TBTS...

                              Nope. It's open here in Pune. Confirmed with showroom guys. When asked about which models will be displayed, he said that the bikes aren't delivered yet but there is a 500 for sure and don't know about 350. But he also confirmed that the changes are identical as 500 except FI engine. Rest of the bike is same. I'm wondering then how the hell website is showing something different !!?

                              • In Today's newspaper at the last page the adv is there , they are launching it at 3 PM ....Royal Thunderbird 500
                                Replace the words "I have to" with "I choose to" and notice the difference in how you feel.
