End of an era for Royal Enfield

The longest surviving production motorcycle in the world, the Royal Enfield Bullet Classic 350cc has reached the end of the line as far as British bikers are concerned. Stocks in the UK are down to the last 100 units and no more will be imported, killed off by ever more stringent European emissions regulations, the 1950's engine cannot be adapted to meet the new regulations.

So its a sad farewell to the Royal Enfield Bullet Classic!

Ride safe.

Bajaj-KTM update : The KTMs are coming to India

The RC8 on the lovely cury roads of Austria.

Noticed the recently updated blog header (top pic)...

Read it all in the August issue of BIKE INDIA magazine. I got a chance to ride some of the finest from the Austrain manufacturer and sooner than you realise, the KTMs will be here in India, thanks to Bajaj.

The RC8, a dream machine, was a blast to ride. The Adventure 950, Super Duke 990 and Duke 690 were some of the other bikes I got a chance to ride

The 690 Duke will probably the first KTM to hit the Indian market
