    He uploaded the below video on instagram, and also mentioned the EICMA start date - 7th Nov in it.

    Above everything else, the exhaust note is pure music!
    Yes and the live link for event says rebirth of Two legends! One could be the return of Interceptor name. Which is the other?

      The Himalayan maybe ? But does it classify as a 'Legend' ? Don't think so, maybe the 750cc comes in cafe racer as well as in classic design ?

        I am also guessing that it would be the Continental GT 750 Twin, and the rebirth of the interceptor.

        Though Himalayan is also expected to get this new bigger engine, I doubt if they would call it a Legend, especially since it got its name spoilt and had to go off the shelf on an emergency basis.

        So the live link says the unveiling is planned for the 7th of November, at 8:24 PM local time.

          I dont know. It says "Watch two legends make a comeback. LIVE, all the way from EICMA, Milan. #RoyalEnfieldTwins". If I check wiki for post war models, there were 700cc+ twins of Interceptor, constellation and super meteor. Continental GT is already the "comeback" of RE Continental 250cc. Himalayan is a noob and never a legend.

          Unless there is some trade mark issue (which I suspect for Super meteor), it could be any two of three post war bikes..

            Royal Enfield's twitter account just shared this image of a RE designer sketching the upcoming twin-cylinder motorcycle.

            He seems to be sketching a Continental GT type Cafe racer.

            And the book in front of him has a CGT and Interceptor from 1966 on it !

                  I think second version will be bonnie inspired. Thunderbird is in different category.

                    This thing has tuned my attention! 47 bhp is a let down with duke 390/N400 and R3 making almost similar power! But that torque is humongous!! Almost closing in at the Ninja 650

                      Yes I intended to type Bonneville somehow ended up with Thunderbird lolz..


                      Also that's satisfactory power and torque figures(expected at least 60Nm) for our Indian roads!

                      Below Rs 4.5lakhs OTR for India and you've got yourself a winner Royal Enfield. I never thought I will recommend or even bother about these World War era machines. My friend dodged a bullet by not buying the disastrous Himalayan.

                      I feel this 650cc project was built with strong quality control and dedication, because they claim it will be of only ONE spec worldwide. Only time will tell and I remain to be skeptical.

                      IF(and that's a big if) they can offer reliability and smoothness from this platform, you've got yourself a new buyer.

                      Waiting for the Unveil..

                      Cheers!

                        Me too eagerly waiting for the event

                        Finally RE has forayed into middleweight segment and that too with two bike with good power figures for two different set of buyer.

                          The reliability and the vibrations are a major concern! For me atleast! I like to ride trouble free bikes [emoji39]
