          24.5 Hp and 32 NM tq between 4 - 4.5K rpm it seems.
          Should be more than enough for the mountains. Its how this bike will handle the highways that I'm curious about.

            Sid(CEO) just said that market research does not show numbers of expected sales figures! His words "We just took a shot! for sales over 10 years!"

                    They = xBhp or They = RE

                    If its the latter, then they do not actually have a stall at the AE.

                      As per specs, Seat height is 800mm which is exactly the same as per Classic 500 owners manual. But ground clearance increased from 135mm of Classic to 220mm. Naice..

                        I still remember during the launch of continental gt Mr.Siddhartha Lal said that royal enfield needs to be modified by the customers to ones personal liking. But we don't have that kind of resources or part manufacturers such as Harley Davidson, which has modified parts available of the shelf by manufacturer and other established sources too.

                        My point being Royal Enfield please launch all the required accessories for the adventure tourer bike yourself, rather then just saying to the customer "go search yourself we only sell bikes and over charged jackets and helmets".

                        Take your time like mahindra did and provide all the accessories at the time of launch and not after launch in near future(which means a year or two).

                        I am really keen on purchasing this bike as it looks business and I won't be jumping of a ramp, but India has taken up lots of projects like smart city and recently they have been developing new highways which means constructions and detours from highway into not highway. I really need this bike asap.

                          I was expecting some sort of excitement and numerous posts on this thread but their are hardly 10-12 new posts which is shocking. I feel people here are underestimating new RE. In fact hardcore Bulletiers are also not there to discuss or contribute something. Overall RE has launched a good product with very good features like long travel suspensions on both ends, informative speedometer, lots of luggage space, high ground clearance, good pillion seat, wind shield, dual purpose tires and an all new engine. Here are some good shots:

                            The motorcycle looks amazing, but hopefully like traditional RE it is not a rust magnet, my main reason behind not acquiring a RE was rust problem.

                            RE finally bringing in a great product and hopefully RE fans don't put it down just because it doesn't have a RE thump and its not traditional RE.

                            Really excited about this product and more than I was with the cafe racer.

                              Not to belittle anybody, but most people here would take a glance at spec sheet and be like "Pfft.... RE is a joke, 24.5hp from 410cc, while Duke does 44 from 390cc"... Rest of the package doesn't matter.

                                All motorcycles meant for long trips / relaxed riding do not offer great numbers but its the way torque comes early and stays for mos part of the band is the mantra.
                                All motorcycles sold to racing enthusiasts offer higher numbers only on abnormally high rpms. I wonder how many people would actually keep dukes @10000rpm all the time.



                                I don't see anything wrong with 25bhp , after all 8 bhp 3 wheelers have been transporting 1500kg loads at over 50kmph. I am sure 25 bhp can keep up with offroad needs provided torque comes in early.
