Royal Enfield Bikes

Royal Enfield motorcycles were being sold in India ever since 1949. In 1955, the Indian government started looking for a suitable motorcycle for its police forces and the army for patrolling duties on the country's border. The Bullet 350 was chosen as the most suitable bike for the job. The Indian government ordered 800 of these 350 cc motorcycles, an enormous order for that time. Thus In 1955, the Redditch Company partnered with Madras Motors in India to form what was called 'Enfield India' to assemble these 350 cc Bullet motorcycle under licence in erstwhile madras (Now called Chennai).

In 1990, Enfield India entered into a strategic alliance with the Eicher Group, and later merged with it in 1994. It was during this merger that the name Enfield India changed to Royal Enfield.

Should You Prefer Buying Ktm Duke 390 Over Royal Enfield Continental GT 650?

Nov 22, 2018
Since the day it was launched, the Ktm Duke 390 has remained the most bang for buck motorcycle in India. It was the king until the launch of Royal Enfield Continental GT 650, which seemingly replaced the Duke from its throne. The GT 650 is more powerful on the paper, with a 650cc oil cooled parallel twin engine which produces 47 HP and 52 Nm of torque. As a result, people are convinced that the Duke 390 is no longer a performance option when it comes to buying a performance bike in Rs. 2 to Rs. 3 lakh price range. Let us discuss Pros and Cons of buying a KTM Duke 390 over Royal Enfield Continental GT 650.

Royal Enfield 650 Twins Competition Check

Oct 4, 2018
I was chatting with one of my friends earlier, about the plans for his future bike. He told me that, Benelli 600i seems like a good option, for his touring and amateur racing. Without wasting a single second, I said “Why not one of the 650 twins”, and no, I wasn’t and still am not promoting any Royal Enfield products. My reaction was the outcropping of the “Not yet confirmed fact” that the new twin cylinder motorcycles will be priced under Rs 3 lakh.

5 Reasons Why Royal Enfield Himalayan Is The Best Bike For Beginner ADV Rider

Sep 28, 2018
I rode the Royal Enfield Himalayan recently, the model which I rode was a Carb unit with no ABS. It was the only Himalayan available at the showroom and besides I wanted to test the bike on dirt and the ABS would have just gotten in the way. For me, fuel injection isn’t a necessity, as I don’t mind a jumpy throttle. Now, I rode the Himalayan mostly on off-road terrain and learned the following things about it.
