The Indian moto media has been steadily disclosing "spy shots" of new RE models being tested. There will be almost certainly shortly be born a 650 Cruiser, and a 350 Classic, and more, perhaps a scrambler and another adventure bike. RE has trademarked various names, including "Scram", "Shotgun", "Sherpa", "Roadster", and "Hunter".
I could pull out my crystal ball and guess at what might emerge as what, but the real point is it seems clear that we aren't far away from needing changes to the Forum headings, to accommodate new models with 350cc "J" and 650cc "P" platform engines, of which it appears there will be several.
My suggestion would be to:
- Fold the 535 Continental GT into the 500 UCE, and expand the heading of that folder to also include 350 UCE models, for those of you, not in the USA, who have had access to those machines all along.
- Rename "350 Meteor" to something like "J platform OHC engine", to include the Meteor, the new Classic, and others that will emerge, including, quite possibly, some 500 cc variants.
- Rename "650 Twin - Interceptor/GT " to something like "P platform 650 twin engine", to include the Interceptors, the 650 Continental GTs, the upcoming 650 twin Cruiser, and not unlikely a 650 cc Classic and Roadster.
- Arguably the AVL / Electra X could be combined with the Iron Barrel, since the action on these topics is likely to be limited going forward, but, from an engineering perspective, they are unique models.
With what RE is doing, (which makes good sense from an engineering cost management perspective), focusing on the engine design/ size and following RE's disclosed "platform codes" to create new Forum headings, in my opinion, will give good service over the long run, keep things simple, and keep future changes to a minimum.
