Royal Enfield is the world’s oldest motorcycling brand that is still in business. The company loves to experiment and has a vast range of products in the market. However, all of these products are not suitable for everyone. Here are eight types of Royal Enfield bikes suitable for eight different types of people.
Royal Enfield Bullet
Who should buy? People who are looking for a city thumper. Can take on pothole-ridden roads.
The Royal Enfield Bullet has stayed in the market for the longest now. It is one of the bikes that has not changed much in terms of looks that make it a perfect modern-retro bike. The Bullet brings back the nostalgia of the 2-stroke days when Yamaha RDs and the Yezdi were aplenty. It is also the only Royal Enfield that gets the iconic Royal Enfield nameplate.
Thebike is powered by two engine options. While it is very popular in its 350-cc form, the Bullet 500 does not find many buyers in the market. It is the best for people who are purists and want to stay within city limits.
Royal Enfield Classic
Who should buy? City riders who take on the highways occasionally. Perfect for tarmac roads.
The Royal Enfield Classic is the modern version of the Bullet. It comes with modern looks and yet retains a retro feel. The Classic range also comes in unique colours like Desert Storm, Battle Green, Squadron Blue and good old chrome. The bike gets similar 350-cc and 500-cc options.
Royal Enfield Thunderbird
Who should buy? The touring packs. The Thunderbird can go the distance till you decide to stop.
The Royal Enfield Thunderbird was one of the first cruiser motorcycles to be launched in India. It offers the retro looks of the Bullet but gets a comfortable riding position that makes it the perfect choice for long-distance travellers. The Thunderbird is quite heavy and is not perfect for uphill twists but there are thousands of such bikes climbing the terrains of the Himalayas every year without missing a thump!
