    All Royal Enfields are made in India and have been for many many years, not China. All Triumphs are made in Thailand. Most BMWs are made in China and that is why the VOGE bikes you rode recently are fitted with BMW engines which have been made for BMW by VOGE for many years. I rode a Royal Enfield Classic 350 for a year until June this year and am now on a Honda Rebel 500. But I think my next bike will be Chinese, probably a Zontes. I think the new Zontes Z703 Adventure looks incredible. I live in Thailand and I am waiting for the Thai Zontes dealerships to confirm prices. You seemed surprised that Thais don't steal bikes when they are left for a few minutes. You have obviously been living in the UK for too long. Surely you noticed that helmets and jackets are always left on bikes and never locked away here. Thais don't thieve helmets or bikes.
