I'm trying to update the first post with all this info. Check it and suggest me what all to add...

Hi Samarth,

Better to create a new thread since the first few pages are about plans & speculations. It'll be good to have a new moderated thread.

Dude,if those models comes out,we dont care..... but what hurts is,they are showing these things to the whole world....Manufacturers show their strength in Auto Expo....not mock themselves...

And yes only models worth their launch-
1>Thunderbird 500
2>CBR 150
3>Triumph Dytona
4>Hero maestro
5>Yamaha Ray
6>Honda Dream yoga

besides the cbr 150r and the thunderbird 500 no other product seems to make sense

the thunderbird 500 totally rocks
soooo many goodies like efi, rear disk, meaty 41mm forks, projectors, bungee cord hooks, removable rear seat 20l tank coupled with awesome ergonomics makes it the most ideal touring machine
lets hear how it thumps with that exhaust
it is also up in the news section of the news section of re site

+1 .... You forgot the LED tail lamps ... I am happy that RE is improving day by day with a positive mindset ... Now having booked a RE Desert Storm, should I wait till TB500 is launched ?

@sambit ... Its Dream Yuwa not Yoga lol

I was talking about the launches. We had already talked about the weird panting schemes of ZMR and Hunk, and we do not need to worry about them as they are not going to make to the showrooms.

Passion Pro is a hugely successful model in rural India. It got a major heart upgrade with new powerful and economic 110cc engine. What more the rural folk/you want?? Same case with scooter Maestro. With Activa's never-ending waiting period, Meastro will be a great choice with the same Activa's engine.

R15 V2.0 New Colors

Hey Guys

i just saw a photo on FB, new colors of R15 V2.0 white with red is super cool.

Any ways i already own the same bike (Red color)

**Satellite.kid** · 01-05-2012, 08:37 PM

So far, all my praise goes to Royal Enfield. I mean Thunderbird 500 was expected, but i am sure it was't expected with such a fantastic upgrade. The latest features on the new Thunderbird easily makes it the most advanced and best motorcycle to ever come out of RE stable. All these new features shall make it a much more safer and reliable motorcycle to ride than before. It's quite cool

If I was a CEO of any auto company, I will showcase the best out of what I actually have to offer for consumers or atleast something better than actual offering for the sake of show. I would never dismay the people and media by showing awful to extreme paint jobs of current product. Just my opinion.

The question is not about both bikes in comparison are for mass market or not. Even if its just concept or whatever, I don't expect such things from largest two wheeler makes in largest automotive show.

If you see my previous posts, I was also dismayed by those weird painting schemes. Lets forget about them and talk about the LAUNCHES.

Delicious indeed. So can we expect the Japanese SuperSports to be priced below the 7L mark ?

**ravi@17bhp** · 01-05-2012, 08:42 PM

Huh!! How many times you guys beat around those color schemes of Hero which are not going to be launched. Aren't you guys tired of it??

**ashoka_bnglr** · 01-05-2012, 08:48 PM

@Samarth

You might also wanna include "TVS RTR 250 off roader" in your first post
