Hi SCALYBACK--------- haven't you posted this before ??......Maybe I'm loosing the plot ??

Naw! I think the last expose was the himalayan.

This was back in April. It shifted!

Clear pics of 750 now on Visordown. Sadly after the Himalayan debacle I am expecting long delays in launch date, serious quality issues, ill informed dealers and probably expect a price that will steer anyone with any sense towards a bonneville anyway. As always I would recommend a few years of the indian market doing the beta testing first. Rumour is (sorry can't recall source) that Himalyan production has ceased whilst serious quality issues are rectified. If RE want to be a major player in the middleweight market they had better raise their game a bit with the twin model.

You'd think it would at least have twin analogue clocks; that looks awful. I can see us Triumph owners deserting our Hinckley bikes in droves (not). By the time RE have sorted it and the early owners have finished their development for them we'll all be sitting on the seats of computer controlled electric bikes doing the crossword as we are transported to our destination. The current fad for Hipster bikes will pass. Just like the Interceptor 2, the best RE twin, the party will be over by the time it's launched.

I think the instruments shown are on the modern bike that the guy **chasing** the RE twin is riding! A.
