Didn’t they show this concept at EICMA a few years ago?

There a lot to like and a little to dislike.  It is reminiscent of the Brough Superior, probably intentional.

Aniket Vardhan's machine is WAY cool!  :cool:

Really nicely, done, too. I might nitpick and change the oil line routing
a little bit, but it's otherwise brilliant. I like it much better than the RE
concept bike, although that has potential. I'd like to see the concept
bike slightly less cruiserish and slightly more like the original V-twin.
A little bit more of an all-arounder than a cruiser, but just a little bit.
I like the long, low lines of those 1920s and 1930s V-Twins.

M/C designer Glen Kerr wrote about that bike in MCN about 6 years ago.  I believe he had a hand in the design.

Two very nice RE's imo.  And, their 838 don't look too bad either although it's not my thing.
