Yeah this is not just a nice poster, it's a huge banner!

I think I'll change the title to reflect that.  We have one hanging in the office and it looks fantastic.

I'd prefer a poster of the bike WITHOUT the hipsters. Lol

Why is there all that smoke around the back of the bike?
Is it on fire?

It's probably just running so rich it's burning oil...although they must have disconnected the side stand switch.   ::)

Yeah, not a fan of this.  The whole "hipsters posing" makes it pretty tasteless.  And besides, why is Ace Cafe London taking credit for building the GT?  I'd really like to know the answer to that.

No self respecting guy is going to buy a poster of hipster looking dudes and hang it up. They would be better off just having the bike alone.
I'm liking the way the South African PR worked it though.  ;) Booth bunnies will ALWAYS sell.

They be models, not Rockers, and they do look out of place. Ace Cafe was the birthplace, if any, of the Cafe Racer scene, therefore was picked as the primary launch point for the world outside India. I've followed the development of this bike since it was leaked a few years ago, and every move the company has made is part of their grand entrance into the world market. There will be a twin 'soonish', but I have a picture out of Cafe Racer Magazine of a RE 1000cc V twin. The guy made his own cases, etc. and offers a kit. I got a new scanner, I'll post a photo.

Anyone seen designer Glynn Kerr's idea of an Indian Enfield V twin? He has it using the Indian (the brand not the country) Thunderstroke V twin. Mmmmm, yes I would. If I had lots of money.

Here's some irony for you.  Polaris makes the new Indians.  Polaris is owned by Eicher Motors.  Guess who else Eicher Motors owns?

I definitely like the photos with the chick.
I may be old, but I ain't dead! ;D

There are V-Twin 1000cc engines and kits out there, which use the old Iron Barrel parts on them, and have custom crankcases and parts to make the V-Twin.

There is possibility for at least one of them to use UCE top ends, but it has never been tried yet.

I like the idea of a v-twin made from actual RE engine components as opposed to a new engine from another manufacturer
