(JUST BIKES previously tested the Continental GT on that model’s UK launch back in 2013). The day consisted of time on the Classic in 350cc and 500cc form, 500cc Bullet and the 535cc Continental GT, which are all LAMS approved and identified, respectively, as “Retro Street,” “Standard Street” and “Café Racer” in the locally-available range.
This past December, JUST BIKES, along with other members of the motorcycling media, special and invited guests, took part in a ride day to celebrate the opening of Royal Enfield’s first Australian brand store, located in Cremorne in inner-suburban Melbourne.Īfter seeing plenty of Royal Enfields on the road, but not having ridden or even sat astride one until now, I was keen to get on the range and experience for myself what all the hype is about. However, the well-known and well-liked Classic and Bullet remain the bedrock of the brand worldwide. While still a niche player against some other manufacturers, Royal Enfield’s growth – 50 per cent every year for the past five years - is seeing the brand expand beyond its current stock of classically-styled singles, with new models, like the Himalayan. It should also come as no surprise that Australia is now one of the most important markets for the Indian-owned and made brand. It’s no secret that the Royal Enfield brand is growing, both here in Australia and worldwide.
