It will be a shame if not produced. It looks uber cool! Just needs a 1200 cc engine to run with the Scout. Maybe history is repeating itself with the connection between Royal Enfield and Indian. This concept shows that you can make a completely modern bike with reference to the past. A production version would hopefully have nicer details such as better engine covers etc. However, what a great base and those front forks stand out and look fantastic! Well done RE!
cheers heaps

Some better images for you:


I think it's a great looking bike. I think the cc is more than enough. Would prefer a kick start if possible, I'd like a spring under the saddle as a nod to the existing bikes, also like some storage for basic things like a lock. Being a concept there's no indicators or plate number but other bits leave me a bit confused - why does the brake light only work for helicopters? where does the battery go? how does the front suspension work?

I don't like it.

It is actually an ok modern version of the 1938 rigid, girder fork v-twin KX in modern trim but there is no way that concept bike is actually going to be sold to customers.

I'd ride the original, any day. The retro  looks OK too, but for that fork.
