Eicher Motors is laughing all the way to the bank, thanks to Royal Enfield (RE). But with Harley’s India-specific Street range and Triumph’s Bonneville launch in the vicinity, RE in all probability will not continue to blossom the way it is for too long. RE definitely commands a massive fan base in India comprising of idiotic, egoistic and insecure riders/owners who will continue to support RE’s stupid attempts at tickling the heritage nerve amongst buyers; but Harleys’ upcoming propositions are just too irresistible in terms of bang for buck.
