It's just a concept bike but it's pretty well designed. Much better than some of the stuff I've seen out of India. I wonder who designed it.

A brand new frame which should be pretty nice. They could sell the shit out of them.

+1 on the sortawant. When I first saw the "NEW" RE's I thought hey an old bike modernized but not changed. It still looks old with modern convienence. ES and EFI

I don't know if the relatively low power output is commensurate with the pricetag relative to, say, a basic Thruxton...

Its a secret plot , by the Chiropractors , to increase Buisness .

barring a miracle in indian enfield quality control (should it actually reach production), your better off getting a new retro triumph or even a meridan one and doing all the typical upgrades

Got one of those and would rather lose an arm than the Thrux.



+1 to Dave on the post.

Always room for another cafe' bike.

remember low bars and rear sets do not a cafe make!

Can I get an amen to that please?

Amen !! I recently stumbled across the Ryca cafe kit which takes a Suzuki 650 Savage / S-40 Boulevard (depending on the year) and turns it from a single cylinder chopper looking cruiser into a cafe looking little ride. It's interesting , however reality sets in and I realize my 200lb butt is gonna kill it's performance, but it's still an eye catcher, like the Enfield.

Sub- 30 HP.

No thanx.

Oh, and what is your definition?

Oh, and what is your definition?

To me, it's a lifestyle. It's as much or more about the person/builder/rider as it is about the bike. It's about making the most out of what you have.

Just my humble opinion...

Only God can make a tree.

Anyone can make a cafe racer.

The last two posts make my head hurt.

A cafe racer styled bike is just that. Something that emulates the cafe racer bikes of yore. There are many interpretations of that but the general theme is well known.

And that, my friend with the hurting head, is what makes them/us all unique.
