u hv to remember, re is a budget bike in india...
outside of india, price is more..

There are S&S big bore kits for 750cc and 865cc for the 650cc bikes. Not easy to fit them though. Check out the video below:

Wow, one kick to break the lock and just hotwire it

launch new bike actually..:

Looks pretty decent but I can't find the price or specs anywhere. Btw, here's the launch video:

Yeah, RE doesn't really fit into the premium market aka the Triumphs and the big-4s retros, it sits a notch above the chinese bikes market considering its factory in india and thailand, where it should compete in price but providing "heritage" and "engineering".

the video show bike need to hotwire to start, sadly some bikes are even simpler. if have immobilizer, that will up the price a lot. even with immobilizer, next thing you know, youtube will have videos teaching how to program new keys.

other bikes got their dash stolen becoz factory design allows for quick release, and the bike cannot start without the dash

extra locks are still a necessity

guys,
RE price has dropped
Himalayan rm29,990 and the 650 only around rm33k-35k.
very tempted now.

first batch group buy can get interceptor 31k haha. but limited unit and all sold out.

heard that they have changed distributor hence the price dropped, is it?
I'm interested in the Himalayan.

still don wana openly announce the price,
test market first...
assembled in thai, hence price drop

I'm guessing this price only offered to those who walk in at the PJ store?

Last I heard their Shah Alam place closed already.

The Shah Alam place was the HQ of the previous importer and a JV with Chear Motor. The Gasket Alley place is under the new importer, Didi Motors. Good that the price is now more realistic and that the brand expansion strategy with a low price entry point is sure to attract more into the brand. I like riding the Conti GT. Very nice handling and the sound is 100% nicer that what my SV can produce

350 price...
so 650 will be around..

Starting from RM35k (OTR) as I was told...sounds real good!

Conti GT costs a bit more though...

ok wow, few year old used price should be good.

If want to start cheaply, can consider the Meteor 350. The brown colour is really nice. At 27k plus (highest, cash price).

That's still quite pricy for a 350 single. Nice looking bikes but the prices for what they are is still not inline with the global market peices.....just don't seem a good geal.

Arguably, the duke390 is a far better bike technically wise for similar price. I'm sure some would pay it for the heritage branding and style.

Yup, if looked at from a purely performance standpoint, it won't seem worth it but as a concept, perhaps it would work. RE is usually not about performance but more of the lifestyle and the riding experience it gives. Rarely about outright acceleration or speed as most reviewers have pointed out. As for me, I really like the Conti GT but too much hassle to let go of my SV for it. The Meteor seems nice for a cruiser though. Hmmm, there aren't any new branded cruisers with warranty for around the price right?
