The company attributes its success in the US to the release of the Continental GT model, price restructuring, a new factory with shortened delivery time and intensified marketing efforts. The Continental GT is a 535 cc, single cylinder, 4 stroke, air cooled motorcycle, the lightest, fastest, most powerful Royal Enfield in production.
Kevin Mahoney, President of Classic Motorworks, the official distributor for Royal Enfield Motorcycles in the United States, said: “Our growing dealer network has used the introduction of the Continental GT Café Racer along with the growing market for retro and mid-sized motorcycles to improve their profitability and local market penetration. Our new high value pricing has also been a factor.. We believe that we are now offering the best value in the market today. There is a following that’s growing here in the U.S. and we’re proud to be a part of it” (Royal Enfield didn’t provide me with USA units number)
“4 stroke, air cooled motorcycle”
Not a motor-radiator-cycle.

Royal Enfield parts option:
1. 1955, RE-replica, solid, polished aluminum primary cover w/ zero nyilac plastic coatings anywhere. Charge any price you need to. They will buy one….. because-it-looks-real.
It does not try to look retro because it is.
Pity triumph would not do similar to their Bonnie
Stainless guards as an option and a tank with out an out side seam. Tidy up the exhaust system.
No plastic coating. Just a few things to make a big difference.

Think a man could make any money with a Royal Enfield/ Velorex sidecar dealership?
Back then i never ran into a MC dealer who got into the-biz just “to make money”…..
Can’t think of one……

Love classic bikes…but the couple on the bike don’t look like that would be a comfortable ride for much more then bar hopping
