Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
The girl said, 'NO!'
And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.

Re: Royal Enfields to be Made in Britain Again.
I am guessing the one in UK is a technology center not manufacturing facility, because that's like counter to off-shoring model followed these days. -

Re: Royal Enfields to be Made in Britain Again.
I think I read on Visordown that it's going to be both.Originally posted by sparky View Post
A manufacturing facility and a technology center. Manufacturing locally in UK will keep costs down, while the R&D facility will help them sell the bikes by badging them as "Designed in Britain". I'll try to post a link to the article so you may have a look. Scratch that, here's the link:

Re: Royal Enfields to be Made in Britain Again.
Having lived near Leicester for a good three years, I would say it is fully India. Pan spits on the road, plastic covers flying around and much moreOriginally posted by lalitp View PostLOL! Leicester is half India, it would be popular there no doubt.

Re: Royal Enfields to be Made in Britain Again.
I also somehow feel that it's sort of homecoming for RE rather than an international expansion.A bike on the road is worth two in the shed.

Re: Royal Enfields to be Made in Britain Again.
For RE to be manufacturing in UK means it probably should be totally new specs meant for EU market, else if it was just making bigger bullets then how can they ever beat India prices?Comment
