    Royal Enfield: The First True 'Global' Indian Brand?

    I believe so, because they're doing what RE did: "development of a new BSA bike is underway in UK with a new single cylinder 650cc motor." When RE set up shop in UK they poached a whole lot of engineering talent from Triumph, acquired Harris Performance etc. etc. BSA is following in a similar...

    Royal Enfield: The First True 'Global' Indian Brand?

    Nobody complains about a single cylinder when on a Svartpilen/Vitpilen 701 and its 693cc single. It all depends on the balance between performance, NVH levels, state of tune, and cost. If you strike the right balance with a competent engineering team, a 650 single can be just as smooth as a...

    Royal Enfield: The First True 'Global' Indian Brand?

    Yes, but Jawa in Europe continues to sell under original Czech ownership. Mahindra only bought the rights to sell Jawas in India. The models we see in India though are fully developed under Classic Legends ownership (the Mahindra holding co. Under which all these brands are) and these models are...

    Royal Enfield: The First True 'Global' Indian Brand?

    All these new colours & special editions of old 350 & 500 platforms that came out over the last year or so is just milking the last few drops from the old platforms before they're phased out. New J-350 will replace the old one (and if Meteor is anything to go by it'll be one SMOOTH operator)...

    Also, drop us a hint about the 'Scram' project :drool: Is it as simple as a 650 scrambler?

    Royal Enfield: The First True 'Global' Indian Brand?

    Why haven't they gone with a 650 twin Hima? I'm assuming its because of weight? The Hima is already a pretty heavy frame and adding another cylinder would probably have made it way too heavy and way too low on Power-to-weight. Also, will the new motor (assuming its 535 or thereabouts like the...

    Arey bhai that's the 650 cruiser I was talking about! It's called Shotgun. :facepalm: People were using the name "KX" erroneously until the images of RE registering Shotgun name came out. This bike is a 648cc parallel twin just like the Interceptor & ConGT, its nothing like the KX concept...

    Any info about the 859? If you're talking about the KX V-twin that's only a concept and likely won't ever see production.

    Royal Enfield: The First True 'Global' Indian Brand?

    Ever since their new-generation 650cc twins released in 2018, Royal Enfield (RE)'s reputation & sales figures has taken off in the international markets. So much so that even a platform which was never 'meant' for an international customer base like the preceding Himalayan ADV is racking up...
