            • I had not mentioned the reason for stopping TBTS booking . TBTS 350 booking has been stopped so as to not cause commotion between people now opting for TBTS 350 and the new TBTS 500 or 350. They are sure people will upgrade to the newer ones.

              They guy incharge of the showroom has been called for training this week. As per him, TBTS 500 will be best quality ever in an RE. He said something of even the thickness of mudguard has been increased.

                Hey but Shahrukh is using Classic 500, military green, they should have also launced Classic with upgrades..

                  Is it possible to get somemore info from him regarding new 350.
                  1) Is it a clone of 500 minus Engine? (I mean with all features like proj lamp + rear disc + 20ltr tank)
                  2) Is there any change in Engine apart from painting it black.

                    You are partially correct bro... There are 3 REs shown in the movie. 1. Classic 500 Battle Green (which is not available for civil people in India), 2. Classic 500, AND 3. TBTS 500.....

                      So this would be the launch Funda!! But i don't think that there would be any changes in CL500!!

                        So do I... But what if there are any (though 0.1% chance) ? Will you change your Cl 350's booking to Cl 500 !??

                          No Mate!! i personally think CL500 is utter waste of money and effort.
                          When we pay 1.7L for a CL500 model, which has good torque but not top speed?? NO Stability, NO good braking?? no good tech??

                          And other hand i have a CBR 250 at same range which is good in all part apart fromt torque!!

                          CL500 would be my only choice if it's braking, handling and Desing improves , else i am happy with TB500 or CL350 only.

                          TB500 why?? Becuase it would be a crusier not a Sport Tourer!! with massive torque and disc brakes!!!

                          Personally i fell a shit techs and design company like RE is living today then it's only because of people's love for it!! And they should improve the engine and tech to love back people. But what they do, average tech and useless design/features!!
                          I myself love RE but know the facts too!! To lover RE we have to accept the fact that we can't be in competition!! + unnecessary waiting period!!

                            Agreed on the technology part but 'useless' design !!? I feel that's the only thing that's keeping RE distinct from other crowd ! If they even think of changing the base, won't the whole structure fall down... !?

                              That's what would be called as good design, an updation in design which which support 350cc to get a stable top speed of 150-160kmph. Broader tyres and good DIsc brakes. I won't be pointing to cornering , but when ridden in straight line it should be stable and give an excellent confidence to rider.

                              a350cc is potent to do alot of wonders but RE is working backwards
                              A 500cc engine crusier/tourer should also havea good design for speed/stability and confidence.

                              RE is just running for torque and comfort...But we have many better designs which can support same...So change in design won't effect RE infact attrac more customer who will pay 1.3L-2.0L from leaving R15/CBR bikes.

                              All want speed, relaibility and comfort, RE has only comfort, it has to work on relaibility and Speed/Tech
