Royal Enfield on a roll...

Recently Royal Enfield launched a new 500cc variant, called the 500LB. It comes with more power, a left-side gear-shifter and a lot more goodies. Ofcourse its priced high, around 1,10,000 OTR, but then owning a Bullet isnt that easy, or is it!

Anyways, moving on, the company now has plans to come with an all new refreshing model, which it disclosed recently to the press. The all new design model will first be introduced in UK, and later on in India. Why? An Indian company acting like this? Hmmmm.. secrets of the trade?

Ravichandran, CEO of the company did confirm the news by adding the fact that there will be style changes for the Asian markets, specially India. The company is also looking at upgrading the engine, with a Fuel injected 500cc mill for this year. If they can bump up the power also from the current 24bhp (for the 500LB) to around 28bhp or so, I will be one of their new customers most probably...
