Forks are a bit garish, spoils the look a bit IMO.

Quite like the look of these. "Modern retro" is really hit-or-miss, usually miss.

Shame they've gone with analog speedo and digital tach though, lots easier to use if it's the other way around.

Nice looking machine - trumps the equivalent from RE in my view.
and makes fair power .

If only they'd get rid of that garish lopsided tank logo..

kudos to RE. they seem to really know the market these days.

rumours that a larger RE classic 500/650 has just been spotted on a road test in India.

now thats a bike i would probably buy. im really tempted by the new 350 classic, but the thing is just too slow.
love the looks though.

I like them both but prefer the scrambler, maily for the cosmetics, paint job and two tone silencer. It makes it look less bulky.

Depending ont he price point, are we competing with CCM here?

In which case there's some stiff competition. Especially when it's 20kg heavier than the 600cc/55bhp maverick.

The Maverick is north of £10k. These will be half that.

Various journalists have suggested £5k.

Odd that the ‘off-roader’ is 9 kg heavier.

Both would have looked better with spoked wheels.

Triumph venturing in to the Indian market more so they're taking RE head on

It's nice but I still prefer the look of Honda's CB350 H'ness, annoyingly never came to the UK though.

price will be £5000.
guess theyve learned a lesson from RE.
