I instantly recognised it for what it was and it was perfect.Īgain, if you're of the camp which complains about lack of LED headlamps, ride-by-wire throttle, traction control and the likes- you're simply missing the point. The soft rumble on the low end and a raspy top end from those upswept twin pipes. The ready, "tug on your stomach" torque from A-N-Y RPM. The almost imperceptible yet reassuring "click" of a gear being selected. Clearly almost twice the displacement should mean almost twice the power, right? RIGHT?! I can say this because I've been riding a 44 hp Duke 390 since 2015 and the 650 power figures didn't look right. I would know- I was one of them- and I can confidently say that those people need to ride it to understand it or simply look at a different kind of motorcycle. The tsunami of sales RE is going to get the moment the new Classic 350 goes on sale is not even funny.Īs for the 650 twins, they're absolute king of the hill when it comes to the price to performance ratio and it shows. The CB350 is good, but it's just not going to dominate over the 350 line-up, present and upcoming, ever. I'm not a betting man but I would happily bet any amount against your prediction. My prediction is sales would overtake Royal Enfield’s 350 cc offerings in years to come. Fully faired 650 ( fully specced up and raced last year in Britain and won a couple of races) Come on Royal Enfield, launch it already! I know two people who will book it immediately.) Cruiser 650 ( multiple spy pics and videos.
Scrambler 650 ( showcased at EICMA 2019 and overlooked by the motorcycling media! Me want one.) Ideally speaking the range should include the
Finally there is confirmation that they are focussing on expanding the 650 twins range. The sound byte that REs bikes are equivalent to German and Japanese bikes might grab headlines. To me this is the real crux of the interview. We continue to discuss the unprecedented cost increase, value engineering, among other areas,” Lal said. This is an area of enormous debate within Royal Enfield. We are looking at what more we can do with every platform to meet the requirements of our customers. “ While we are going to launch new products, it will be very controlled with focus on the midsize segment. We have captured the entire market above 500cc motorcycles and all the international players are struggling in India in this space,” Lal said, pointing at the 500cc-800cc motorcycle segment. “ We will continue to invest in the 650 Twins. If I were to buy one again from the price range they operate in - I currently can't think of a better motorcycle to buy than the Interceptor 650. I don't own one, but there are a few 650s in my close friend circle. When global leaders like Honda develop direct rivals only against a Royal Enfield product - go as far as getting almost identical bore and stroke specs to match even the sound that the Royal Enfields have become famous for - it is proof that the world is taking notice of the brand. The best selling retro motorcycle in the UK for 2020 was the Interceptor 650. Royal Enfield has been slowly expanding their reach in global markets. The first video in the above post from Fortnine Canada is one good example of this! The new generation Royal Enfields has really improved in quality as even international reviews have clearly pointed out. Had a good laugh, but I wonder if our mindset is still a few years behind when it comes to RE. Lockdown seems to have been especially hard on Mr.
