This bike is aimed at the Triumph Speed 400 / Scrambler 400 crowd. Bajaj in India makes the Triumph bikes and they have sold very well in all markets, EU US, India etc. So RE wants a piece of this market.

Typically with RE, we do not see new models until one year later. It'll probably come in a little cheaper than the Triumph.

Nice looking bike.
Not a fan of RE. Their bikes are usually too heavy imo. Also not too fond of their price. Competitive with other bikes for sure, but all Japanese and US and British bikes are currently outside of my reach financially. It's like they still have COVID tax added to their prices. I'm waiting for a $5-6k new price 350cc, 40hp 300lbs bike.
