Then, the forum would get boring and soon people wouldn't really want to tell others about their RE Classic, they'd be so damn possessive... Slowly xBhp would become noBhp! This RE Classic is a forum killer! Stay away brothers.

If only every bike maker understood its consumers so well, finally there'd be a purpose for 'FOCUS' groups that spend hours on market analysis and finally arrive at the kind of bike that NOBODY wants to buy!

That is a normal fuel injected RE.

This is exotica... deserves a thread in my opinion, bro!

sorry but yes you are rite if you want to catagorize them

Holy shit!

That is one sweet looking bike!

FE, classic looks, seemingly better build, and THAT TORQUE!! Holy crap, 41nm of torque is a LOT! (Nm = lb/ft right??)

I'd buy this within a heartbeat. My only concern would be previous generation bullet mechanics wouldn't know what to do with this bike!

Nm = 1.35 lb-ft

but still, 41 Nm is HUGE, and the best part is it will be there at like 3k revs and not the 15~20 Nm of 150 - 220 bikes at 5-7k revs.

Retro look, very very classy, but i think with a few minor modification here and there can make even a normal electra look like this stunner

**ravi_afriend** · 10-12-2008, 02:07 PM

I would love to buy this one. and i will keep my Lightning too.

Man I have just found my Latest Love

. Very neat and sexy baby. and I just love all the colors available i.e. Red, Black, Light Blue. I also wish the same bike comes in Army Green and Shiny Silver color.

Bullet Classic ? ! ?

Hi guys and gals ,

Don't know if this is discussed in any other thread - mods please merge if it exists.

Saw a cool website about Bullet Classic.

It seems to be a Royal Enfield website but don't know from India or where else

Bullet Classic - The Classic is Reborn

Hope you guys can share more Gyan on the same.

The bike looks damn sexy and sure looks like would sell plenty even if it is priced above Machismo 500's 1.18 lakh price tag.

Contact Us section mentions Indian offices so maybe we will have this rocking beauty soon to pleasure our ugly streets.

Chin up all you moaners/ whiners of Enfield company - maybe there is hope yet to save the CULT !!!

Best Regards,
Ujjwal Dey

Spoke too soon I guess

The Contact US section of that website with Indian office address says,

"The Bullet Classic has been developed to European requirements and available for Sale in Europe Only"

A guy who commented on my Blog (David Blasco) says that if Enfield didn't release it in Europe then Europe dealers would have NO PRODUCT to SELL due to strict emission norms.
Hot Air Cold Love: Bullet Classic – Royal Enfield

So no, even Americans won't get it yet as Europeans pay more for motorcycles than Indians or Americans.

His website has other news here : Royal Enfields
And here : http://www.royalenfields.com/2008/10...far-about.html

doenst look like that from that reply ....

**frankpilli** · 10-13-2008, 06:55 PM

Light blue one is really lookin RETRO
RE decals on engine & styling is classic

**george katie** · 10-13-2008, 08:46 PM

its not a big deal for RE in India to launch this vehicle and it will not cost a bomb...mind you.

but the question is ...is there a market for the retro styled ones...in a marketing and profit making kind of a way.

if its for sheer pleasure of giving it to the customers then they will do it without looking at profit or any other stuffs...

yes the turquoise kinda blue looks retro...i also like the maroon/brown one...awesome

**2write** · 10-14-2008, 02:59 PM

I would like to see it in that green which Machismo 500 comes in.... almost military green but legal.
