Royal Enfield Twin Engine : History to repeat soon




It is learnt that after the success of the new UC Engine, Royal Enfield is now aspiring to repeat the history by its Cafe Racer and also by now working on a big Parallel Twin Engine. It really tickles the fancies of many middle age guys  who still recall the powerful 750 Interceptor of 1960's days, here is an interesting new video & article at visordown.com from Aniket Verdhan, the guy famous for developing a 350+350  V-Twin Bullet, is now working on to redesign a 998 CC version his Musket V-Twin.

Now when the race is on for what comes first: the Verdhan’s powerful V-Twin Musket or the RE’s own Big Parallel. Whichever it'll be, the Royal Enfield Lovers are now to see a big twin beauty soon…………

One Love, One Passion from a Harley to a Royal Enfield



Just visited the Harley Davidson India facebook page and had seen some great beauties of Chromed & Painted. 

I've been asked many times for what I feel or say about the Harley Davidson India after giving my heart & soul to a British Classic and writing the Royal Enfield Blogs here.  My answer comes from a recent post I read on the same page as Willie G. Davidson says:


“Harley-Davidson owners, myself included, will tell you that their motorcycles are very close to the center of their lives. When we’re not riding them, we’re thinking about them.”



now I don't think anyone fails to understand the One Love, One passion that connects the two legends. The chrome reflected the same Sun,

and w
hether on a Harley Heritage or on a Royal Enfield Classic we carry the same dream on that highway of freedom where the road never ends.........

It's very usual now but it always feels great to see the legend rides on a road less travelled on a global TV Show.

Passionate traveller and the show's host Jonathan Legg shares the story of  Motorcycle God  'Bullet Baba' near Jodhpur before he sets-off riding the mighty 500 LB Machismo on his way from Manali to the Great Himalayas through Khardung Pass - claimed as the highest motorable road in the world.

The series explores India and  the Culture :
Socio-economics scenario, Urban trends, Traditional Food, Yoga, Woman Police Training and finally Legg's real purpose to carve his mark on the mountains of the Himalayas, and he chooses to do it on a 500 CC Royal Enfield Bullet 'Machismo'.
