Read a review here -> Royal Enfield Electra EFI - Classic Motorcycle Guide - RealClassic.co.uk The bike tested above is essentially the Bullet Classic without any makeup and an EFI with a choke  A good review and some things to look forward too. The author says its well build and the engine is responsive. This will be the engine that we probably will get here with a carb. Dont think there will be much difference between carbed and EFI version in terms of power and torque. Looks like my wait to get Bullet No 3 is going to get over soon | |

Hopefully, you'll buy your UCE500s. But before that, the UCE also seems to be having a quality gremlin in the form of the third gear(cogs) breaking off. This has made Royal Enfield recall all(first batch to UK) the export UCE500s and fit them with defect free parts. So, on the whole, it has been beta tested by the Firangs yet again , much like the LB500. Apart from this issue, reviews for the UCE500FI have been very encouraging. Cheers, Jay | |

And about firangs being used for testing. I think they will call a spade a spade and RE will get much better feedback from them. If they do it here we will have people calling 3rd gear breakages as a Bullet thing and we did have to live with it. RE has been smart in this. Good direction here.

There is no 350 version of it as far as i know and i think they might introduce it in india using the same Unit as in thunderbird with EFI though, as there might not be alot of takers for 500. Quote:
Hey techno, the speculated pricing from an inside source and even from the brandstore in bandra(mumbai) is 1.4 OTR, the only thing indianised might be a kick starter which is not available is the exported version ?? | |||

| hey guys, just called the brand store regarding the same.. they have also started accepting bookings for classic 500  . bookings for machismo have been stopped, I correct myself, so officially machismo 500 production has been stopped, though mashismo 350 will still be available. The guy said the necessary papers that have to be submitted to the transport commissioner for a new launch, seeking the permission have been submitted..so CLASSIC is just a pass away from the transport commissioner. They have also said that the bike will be launched in around march/april when they end their financial year, and the delivery will only start two months after the official launch.The seats will be the one used in machismo 500 currently, not the split ones, which you see in the website, it will be an additional add on, and even the silencer is borrowed from the 500LB. It does have a kick starter like i said before unlike the export model and is expected to be around 1.35-1.4 OTR Mumbai. Though i still do not take this as the word from the RE guys, but the thing is they are ready to unveil it in india. P.S :- In mumbai My machismo 500LB is the second last before the booking stopped.

| Senior - BHPian | PatienceWins, sure sir Yes it is expected to cost in that range, am very tempted to book one as per the mech he said the bike is really powerful... he was given the intial training on the "exports", guess today onwards he will have the Indian once..But sad to know LB500 is stopped...
