Royal Enfield cafe racer spotted. Finally gearing for a launch.

Pics taken by an online bike guru friend of mine. This is an actual test vehicle.



Looks like an RD 350 from this angle. Lol turbo99i will kill me.






Shut up and take my money!

 

This will come in as the continental GT

 

Can they get registrations done for Test Vehicles ??

 

yes, Company vehicle, test vehicle, test dummies etc, all need to be registered before driving em on the roads

 

i am not impressed.

 

Whaat! Coming from RE, after 6 years, it's a lot. What more were you expecting!

 

just for heck of it? It doesn't look impressive we all know cafe racers are suppose to be awesome.
Until unless they are quality racers, I wont buy them.

 

Umm no actually Cafe Racers are a take on regular road going bikes, to convert them in such a manner that they handle better. This has the takings, Gas rear shocks, shorter front shocks, flat seat, knee recess for tucking in, Short Handlebars.

Though yes, it is missing the trademark tail that a Cafe Racer has. I am guessing that since this is a test mule, it would be missing.

Did you notice the tiny foot and heel rests?

 

This is a cafe racer:
Norton Motorcycles (UK) Ltd: Norton Commando 961 Cafe Racer

 

That's a god. And RE would retort probably by saying "itne paise, mein to itna hi milega na!"

 

i would say do it right, no matter what.
I would one day possess a Norton and an Indian.

 

This gets a cafe racer tail -

And we got the pics first!

This appears to be a pre production test model.

 

I have taken pictures of few bikes on my trip, I will post pictures whenever I sort them out.
