Sale of bike forced by need to buy new keyboard?



Pics needed or links to pics/vid. What year model of manufacture? The engine/VIN number would tell us, not the UK registration year.

You've probably read all this before, it's from October 2012.

Quoted from elsewhere:

"We’ve got a special place in our hearts for Royal Enfields, in fact, I’m constantly trying to buy a 500 Bullet from a mate of mine, and until recently had a trip booked to ride one around India (but that’s another story).

Our love for Enfields aside, we couldn’t help but have a slight snigger at this new black cruiser style 500 single which is the latest incarnation of Royal Enfield's 500cc Thunderbird. Let's just say the Indian bike market is very different to ours, okay?

What Triumph will make of that name now Enfield have re-incarnated it again we’ll have to wait and see; Triumph have the 1699cc Thunderbird and the black Thunderbird Storm. But whatever they think, the new incarnation of the Enfield Thunderbird, which was launched in India today, does have a certain quirky charm about it.

It features all-black styling with a cruiser vibe, a 20-litre tank and a 27bhp 500cc single-cylinder motor.

The UK importers tell us the Thunderbird 500 is not homologated for the UK and will only be on sale in the Indian market where the bikes are built at the moment. It's probably for the best."

I'll add to this thread: As with the Japanese Grey Imports and Unofficial Imports market, that has been going on for many years now, if you want to import your own new model/used Indian Thunderbird, there will be nothing to stop anyone doing so. It's only about making it legal for the UK roads.

I know of another one which was privately imported, duly registered and is being ridden (happily) in the UK. More lack of judgement from Moto GB.



At the end of the day, though, it's not a lot more than Electra-EFI with an admittedly quite attractive make-over and en extra spark plug!
