It looks to be visually well executed. Kudos to the Indians. I wonder how it performs, of course a bike like that is not so much about the performance as the looks.

True, but if it can't get out of its own way, what's the point?

Hopefully, the price will be affordable as the looks are just great. Quality and service have vexed RE for years in America but under new ownership it looks to become a resurgent name in the motorcycle world.

I love the big singles just to putz around on but would have to see how the service/quality play out in the coming year.
Otherwise the picture makes it look as good as the once "due this week" Norton. And, we all know how the Austrian/Indian KTM is ruling the motorcycle circles.

The last great 500 RE 1969. Ironically badged as an Indian.

I like it but I agree with Bill. It's going to be all flash and no finish.

If it has the usual RE 28 bhp, It's a cart horse dressed up for the Grand National.

Hmm, visually stunning but if it really has an unreliable 28hp then I see no point.

Its the ducks guts in looks. I had an Enfield Indian back in 1998. It used to drive me to distraction although I do attribute my garage prowess to that bike. Every week something else would break down. I eventually sold it after achieving semi reliability
