Update(although just confirming what other's have said so far)- Classic will be launched in two variants:
500 with EFi, price in the range of 1.3 - 1.5L but most probably it's going to be 1.35L. The green or what ever colour its called will only be available in 500 classic version.
350 with carb, price range of 80-90k. Colour options are black, red and silver.
Booth will come with independent two seats. In Chandigarh the launch date is 10 November.
As per request of the dealer, I can not disclose his name. He is into business for last 52 years so I would trust him so far.
Went there to inquire about the electra as the other dealer did not had the fresh stock. Saw the two classic's there. 500 had smaller tyres compared to 350 but the dealer says that 500 will come with bigger tyres. There were there because the company is getting them passed by RTO's in every city. They were not for test drive but seeing my interest he offered me the test drive. I had the biggest grin on my face ever. I booked it there and then. He has promised me that he will launch the bike with my first delivery in Chd. As right now it's the first booking he has made so it's gona be the first classic 350 in Chandigarh.
Fingers crossed for the delivery date. Wish me luck peeps.
Also took the picture of the bike I took out for test drive. There was no kick present and it had the standard silencer and not much difference in exhaust note compared to CI bullet. The CI engine and AVL engine bikes will be stopped from April 2010
