Is it in the C5/G5 or the B5 frame ?

[barenekd]

That is a totally different frame. Twin downtube cradle.

Boy that looks good!  Wonder if it will be available in the US?

 

[Jack Leis]

       Man, that thing looks sweet !

[tooseevee]

                What a gorgeous machine!

                 I suppose our Feds will shoot down the clip ons, the directionals & a dozen other things. The one that gets approved here .. well, we know THAT story.

to be honest, I'm more interested in the thunderbird 500 above it

RE has re-invented itself.  Impressed by both these bikes - Well done. Thunderbird is redesigned in almost every aspect - gone are 'snail' chain adjusters , new swingarm, rear tyre, rear disc brakes, different fork, headlight ..........  ! Actually it is 10 year anniversary of Thunderbird and perhaps that is why we see these upgrades.

They are also going after accessories - clothing, helmet and the gear.  They are not taking any chances for HD India to run them over in this department.  

It will be interesting to see when they can come up with a twin to really up the ante.  But with so much in their pipeline, it could be a while.  Certainly not before their new factory is up and running to meet the current demand.

I was under the impression that the Cafe was going to be a 600...  Hmm..

 Maybe that frame is designed t handle a parallel twin..

Looks like the Cafe also has the new swingarm..

[clubman]

Stunning - vastly superior to the one last year with the silly racing number on the side. That was far too flashy and not in keeping with Enfield at all. This version is pure class. Hope it makes it into production.

[SimonT]

That looks hot. Although it looks like it needs a faster engine than the UCE ....

[r80rt]

Oh man is that sweet!

[Ducati Scotty]

It's a concept bike so anything can change.  That said, WOW!  It looks really good.  I like that they made an all new frame instead of trying to adapt an existing one.  It looks much cleaner.  I woul bet the rumored 600 engine will fit in there if it comes to light and I'd bet the same for a parallel twin.  With the beefier double cradle I bet it could handle the power.

Now thats what I'm talkin' about!   Wow.

(is it just the angle of the shot or is one fork leg longer than the other?)

[GlennF]

Not that hard to tell what 60's Redditch bike the new cafe racer is modeled on ....

[Alan LaRue]

That is seriously cool! And I would buy the Thunderbird. (Except for that cage business on the rear fender.)
