Totally agree with you and as a result, I didn't buy the bike!
RE's prices are getting higher, its only a matter of time till something better hits the market. Say a 2-3 lakh rupee Harley even if it is really low spec?

Maybe I am just day dreaming

Yes and it looks like quite a few people are taking advantage of it.
I went to one of the RTO offices in Bangalore twice last month and each time I saw a different KL temp. # RE Classic seeking permanent reg. in Bangalore.

Wow, looks really nice, a very close look gives it a major competition to the HD bikes, loving every bit of it, if i did not had the TB 2005 model, i would have changed my decision from DS 500 to TB 500

For which colour you get is your luck I guess. As my dealer will get 6 in the first lot and he can not guarantee what colour I would be offered.
