2017 has been a great year for Royal Enfield as it clocked record sales figures and unveiled the new Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 and the Continental GT 650 twin-cylinder powered motorcycles at the 2017 EICMA motorcycle show. It seems that the iconic two-wheeler manufacturer wants to carry this momentum forward to 2018 also, as pictures of a new variant of the Royal Enfield Thunderbird 500 has emerged online. The new motorcycle is likely to be called Royal Enfield Thunderbird 500X and is expected to be launched by January 2018, priced around Rs 2 lakh (ex-showroom).
