A proper contender to the now absent retro thumper slot in India.

The tried and tested thumpy Rotax motor of the old BMW Funduro is the icing on the cake.

Mahindra and Classic Legends the potential likely spoiler ....

2.99 lakhs ex showroom.

45 bhp with 55 Nm torque at just around 3500-4000 rpm. And a claimed ton plus top end.

Cheers, Doc

Seems to be nicely done. If not too heavy or with too much vibration, this could be a cool choice.

Its only competition in India and globally is the Royal Enfield Interceptor, which is a parallel twin.

It is just 2 bhp lower, with a cylinder less. And makes 3 Nm more torque but more importantly at more than a thousand rpm lower down than the RE. A proper true blue single pot big thumper.

It is also more than 5+ kilos lighter, in spite of being liquid cooled to the air cooled RE.

To my mind everything depends on Mahindra in terms of support for service and spares and warranty. If they get that right, this bike will sell itself.

Let's see. As a Bullet 500 rider (owned three in fact, having kept only one) I am really looking forward to swinging a leg over one and riding it properly.

Cheers, Doc

Man, this got me emotional. I can't imagine how proud Baba-san must be to have seen his vision evolve so beautifully over 30 years. Long live CBR-1000RR-R!

And I look forward to your impressions when you do get a ride on it. Ridden properly, of course.

Cheers, Doc
