For people who had four years ago thought of buying a bike, Pulsar and Karizma were the only viable option. But after Royal Enfield got into analysis, the company came up with awesome Bullet Classic 500 and 350. Ever since that the lovers of true metal have gone crazy.

Now everyone who has owned a bike has always wished of owning a bullet. Thus the joy that future bike owners are feeling when Eicher motors announced that they are doubling their capacity was beyond bounds.

Dr Venki Padmanabhan, COO, Royal Enfield, said “We thought that new Enfield models would have a very small demand, with the Classic we expected to do 200 units a month, surprisingly the demand is close to a 1,000. We’re building both capacity and R&D capability. In the next 2-3 years we’ll be doubling capacity.”

As of now, Royal Enfield has 5 models in India, out of which Thunderbird 350 has 3 months waiting period while the Classic 350 and 500 wait period goes upto 9 months.

Great news that is doing rounds is that the much loved cult bike Machismo will be launched with a revamped look and new engine. The company is planning on bringing in bikes with high capacity 750cc and 1000cc that includes a high-end Racer.
