When is a modern classic truly a classic design. BSA comes to mind, does a badge and a name and copying a vintage design really appeal. Royal Enfield have done the re invention of their classic line for many years, almost matching the original Bikes of the 1950s and 60s. How appealing are these designs to a younger demographic.
I remember back in 2016 when I had my 500 classic, the times when I was asked how long ago I had restored it.
Do we really want a clone of a bike from a bygone era. Sure there is a market.
What RE are doing with their recent bikes is giving the customers what the want, a modern designed bike, that has the style and charm of the bikes that inspired them.
Royal Enfield did an amazing job with designing and bringing the Super Meteor 650 to the world.
They stepped up a huge amount in build, and finish.
RE are now trying to move in a new direction with the 450 range, all new bikes, the Guerilla and new Himalayan are starting a new chapter. One that can only go from strength to strength.
