I'm gonna throw my 2 cents in here.
I think that with the new unit construction design that is coming to the future of Royal Enfield, that they should capitalize on the hearkening-back to the earlier unit construction roots in the Royal Enfield line.
These would obviously be the Continental GT and Crusader 250 models, both UCE construction, and both highly popular models with good style and collectible to this day.
I think that an especially well-done replica of the Continental GT with the new UCE engine would be a perfect execution for the new powerplant and it's style.
I mean done "to the 9's". Like, really hot.
I'd also be super-enthusiastic about a variant which used the GP5 bodywork. I think that would be so cool that I'd have to buy one.
And for the cruiser and standard bike contingent among us, the Crusader was a stately English model that offered classic British style and grace in the smaller platform that could look very "at home" with the new UCE powerplant in it.
This is the direction that I think the styling should go with these new bikes.
I realize that I have no say in the decision, but it only makes sense to me to work the new concept into earlier models which already used that UCE concept, and were successful.
Royal Enfield has such a rich history of various models and designs, that it only makes sense to work around what is there to choose from. Anybody can make a Harley cruiser looking thing. We have heritage to draw from.
My 2 cents.
