    yeah. and one of those reason will be a "lazy rider" * * , who wants to enjoy rather than race. that's why he selected bull (RE) and not a horse/deer/cheetah (Japs)....

          I do know that its not the bike to do 100+ speeds , but what what i'm trying to say is paying close to 1.6lks is way too much for what it offers. I own a TBTS and i'm more that satisfied with it.

          And guys so it means that the old model will be off the market right so will my TBTS(2009) take a hit while i try to sell it?

            a enfield will always be in demand. considering the waiting period your resale value shouldnt drop for a another 6months to a year.

              2 year old model TBTS was quoted ~85k by a dealer. Not bad considering its initial CP i.e 1.18L.

              Err any pics of TB350 ?

                      Link ? 500 or 350 ?
                      Check out FB Official Page some of them have booked TB500 and pics are also there. Rear brake is disc type in 500.

                      Event has started and bookings are open, am not sure about the purpose of the counter now. Why bother checking it ?

                          Replace the words "I have to" with "I choose to" and notice the difference in how you feel.

                              They almost took ages to launch the bike and would take equal amount of time launch the webpage. From what I saw in flesh, the 350 has the same features as the 500 with rear disc etc.
