Yes, In Past Royal Enfield made a fortune making us believe its a cruiser bike . by cruising around 80-90kmph
In India, things have drastically changed. KTM Duke, CBR, Pulsar 200NS /SS, etc. are now in market. they can also cruise around at speeds of 100 or 120 smoothly without much vibrations.
In an open road, I faced this situation when I was cruising around 80kmph and these sports bikers flew past me. and here I am thumping.
I made a wrong choice of taking this bike now. its suited only for city as we dont need that much speed. but in open highway, its too slow . now Pulsar 200 ss is even offering ABS at a price bracket of 1.30lakhs and its seating position can be used both for sports and touring. and it also has fuel injection and good brakes and loads of other features.
Everyone says we should not compare Royal Enfield with other brands? why?
Because they have more power? No.
Because they have good built quality? No
Because they are Complete Cruiser? No
Because they have Latest Technology? No
Because they have smooth engine? No
because they are more Expensive? Yes
Royal enfield still uses engine construction which 100years old.
harley is very soon going to capitalize on this issues of royal enfield and is already going to release street 500cc bike this year. that will be a game changer. and I rode harley street 750 and I was wondered . that machine reached 100kmph without me knowing. that much butter smooth was the engine.
royal enfield should change their game otherwise its done for.
the cult is the only thing it has . the feel when one rides it, yes I knw that . but its not enough. this is my view. hope u understand.
