Wow, had no idea the lines were hand painted, really hats off to these expert guys.. much more respect to RE as a brand to the beautiful and solid motorcycles they make..and to know it's made with such human involvement warms my heart. Love from South Carolina! Can't wait to get my first continental GT 650 soon
Wow. Motorcycles made by human beings! It makes me feel so happy. It gives these motorcycles a soul. Well done RE and India. Greetings to you all from Auckland 🇳🇿 Jai Hind 🇮🇳
Thank you for building my Dr Mayhem Continental GT 650. It hasn't missed a beat in almost 2 years of ownership over more than 11,000 km. Sending gratitude and respect from Australia
I love Royal Enfield, and the fact that they produce their own things in their factory by humans and not by robots is amazing. I already wanted a Royal Enfield, now more than never I want one. 😍
Decals on the tank, he made it look effortless. Amazing confidence and talent, yet comes off as humble. My first was a Royal Enfield, Sherpa 175 CC, two stroke. Kudos to Royal Enfield, India.
This makes me want to purchase a Royal Enfield , because I see humans making bikes and doing a splendid job, instead of robots . Well done to all the boys and girls of Royal Enfield factory standing shoulder to shoulder producing beautiful motorcycles with souls. Full stars with thanks.
Just bought a lightly used 2021 350 Meteor today with less than 400 miles. Put 60 on it before I even registered it, Runs great, tight balanced handling and stopping, A little bit lacking in acceleration but kept up at 68 mph well. Great workmanship and incredibly good on fuel, Looks and sounds kool old skool. Very nice inexpensive motor cycle. Glad to support a brand that cares about quality with out ripping off the public. Also impressed with the hands on construction by the skilled workers, Great job all of you! May Ganesh rain peace and harmony upon you! (from USA).
Hi sir🌺 how are you😊👋❤ where are you from I love your choice BMW may I know your profession plz I want to join in your job ok im a boy Zayed from India
I've been seriously thinking about buying the 650 Interceptor in a few months as I love the retro styling but the nearest dealer is around 130 miles away. After seeing this video I'd say there is a good chance that my son and I will be going on a little road trip soon. Greetings from California to the all the hard working people building those beautiful bikes!
Dealers are poping up all over here on the east coast .I was looking at the triumph thruxton .I wanted the base model but they do not make it any more ,so my local triumph dealer said come look at the enfields we are selling .The continental gt 650 is very nice for the price and its a 6 speed and so many aftermarket parts are available .I am sold got one comming soon .It is for when i want to go ride and have fun on a retro bike !I have a harley also, but you cant have just one bike!
Its shame for us that our politics don't allow to sell our beloved bike to our brothers in pakistan. It's a great bike for affordable price as compared to Japanese and european bike. I m dead sure Pakistanis would have loved it. And it's fault of indian politicians more than that of pakistan.
The concentration of the painter is amazing. His work is not affected even someone is watching & talking. I can't put a bolt & nut properly if someone is watching me.:)
Make us old guys happy and produce a Classic 650 that brings back the bike from the 60s. Chrome full fenders front and rear, not that stubby little front fender that never was, plus dump the cheap painted rear fender with the cheap rubber/plastic mud flap. What’s that all about? Just a very cheap look. The exhaust also must look like it’s from the 60s not this swept look that spoils the classic look, plus easy to get a burn from the hot muffler as it sticks up in the way. Same design as the 350 classic muffler. And chrome the exhaust system. Like your classic 350. Bring back the chrome spoke wheels, dump the all black wheel look. The lower fork legs need to be polished or chromed, not painted. Save the money on paint. The seat needs to be changed it’s terribly hard on the butt. That’s an easy fix. Add some class to the seat for long rides. Chrome out or polish the upper fork brackets. The controls on the handlebars need some shine. Or polish them. You guys spend the money on a needed oil cooler, then ya paint the entire engine black. Paint ( black) holds heat in. Polish the engine cases the only black on the engine would be the barrels of the cylinders. A better classic look. Ya build a great bike, just fix the problems of the ugly blackout look. That’s not a classic look. Chrome will get ya home!! Hope you take my thoughts to heart. And make an old rider relive his past. I’m very sure you’ll sell more classic 650s with the real 60s look than the ugly blacked out cheap look. If some customer wants a all blacked out bike, let them order it that way. Don’t stick us with ugly cheap black paint. Future buyer when I see the change.
Thanks for this look behind the machines. Royal Enfield is doing so much for motorcycling by introducing quality products at affordable prices to a new and growing group of riders.
Failures and breakdowns (Bullet Sixty-5) forced me to imagine a shed-full of numbskulls, cheap components, and confusion. This modern factory and hands-on workforce are why the REH (which I own) is good & the Interceptor is outstanding. Well done from a satisfied customer.
I'm think about to buy a Royal Enfield. If i see this impressing video, i'm convinced, that the quality is very good! Many thanks for this video and many thanks to all workers! Greetings from Germany!
Wow, I never knew my bike was made with such a mixture of care and efficiency! I sound like I have shares in RE but I don’t, I just. Love riding my Interceptor 650!
When I bought the INterceptor 650, I tried to read more about RE. They went into more labour usage instead of full automation like most motorcycles. Some of the roles like the guy we see hand painting stuff and others are only in the family. It is like the family job that is continuing till today. The company still supports its people and provides employment. So, for every RE we buy, we are helping the company hire more people than machines. I am more than happy to buy RE for the reasons they hire people to do it and are still cheaper compared to other brands. And our western media don't say that India has more equal representation of men and women in their work place than any country in the world with no reservation and quota. Impressive.
India is coming smoothly but surely .i really admire its technology and the way the youth are working.we need our gouvernement import these bikes to Algeria
And that amegos...is how a real motorcycle is built! I retire in two years and will be living in Thailand where me and my interceptor will live happy ever after! Well done guys and girls, it's great to see human instead of robot assembly lines.
@@dalewiddowson7349 have you looked into it Dale, Im just asking as I bought a harley in Thailand a few years ago and it was stupidly expensive as opposed to NZ or Aussie. If you've done the reasearch and the price is ok I would be interested in knowing as I was looking at buying one in Malaysia and it was about $12000 nzd with all the taxes so if cheaper across the boarder, once they open I would be keen.
This has to be one of the most interesting videos I have ever seen on youtube. The skills, organisation, speed of working, on display were astounding. I salute all those who have planned this factory and all the workers involved.👍.
They have certainly modernised, in the old days the petrol tank production facility was several men sat out on a veranda with an old car engine block for an anvil, and a hammer. Panel beater's art. The tank painter still has an old skill. Picked up my Himalayan today. Love it already.
I rode a hired Royal Enfield Bullet in Goa in 1992...It was reliable and a joy to 'potter' along some of the not so good roads. Watching those guys painting the strips on the fuel tanks was amazing... Well done India you succeeded where the UK failed..
WOW .!! Unlimited love and peace to every single person involved in the Royal Enfield production, (and to every single person in India too, and the world over 💖) but your work is just incredible, I'm amazed and extremely thankful.. I ordered my Meteor Supernova in blue last month (in UK), it's in stock already, but I can't pick it up yet because I'm abroad. I will definitely remember you wonderful people when I collect my bike, and will be thanking you all from the depths of my heart, you're all amazing..😊🥰💖👍 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This is far more impressive than the trip I took round the Triumph factory in Hinckley last month. I have bought an Interceptor at half the price of a Triumph. Each one of those tanks should have the artist's signature, then in 50 years time we could sell the tank for thousands of $
Fascinating watching how all these highly skilled technicians put together these motorcycles. They must feel so proud to work for Royal Enfield. I love my Interceptor and after watching this feel rather proud in owning one of these amazing machines.
my dad used to say triumph employed people to paint lines in the tank, great to see this skill still in practice, I'm hoping to get an interceptor as soon as possible
This is a lot more confidence building than a guy working in a shed in Britain. These people are lucky to have such a place to work: good wages, clean environment, probably good benefits.
You had me after the first 5 seconds when i realized that you actually HANDPAINT the tanks. Very well done, I plan to get a Super Meteor 650 in the future. Now this decision even feels better than before. Can't wait ❤
Drawing such perfect lines on the tank and other parts is a real artist's job, congratulations for these workers who give prestige to the legendary RE brand. I live in Italy but it is very difficult to see them around. I tell the truth that I prefer a RE 1000 times instead of an HD !!!
I've had a RE classic 350 for two months now - my first motorbike ever at the age of 57 - and I'm very proud and happy with it. It rides really wonderfully and looks fantastic, a real eye-catcher here in Germany. I get lots of enthusiastic comments. I can't believe that the stripes on the tank are done by hand! Really beautiful! Many thanks to these experts, I would almost say artists, who do such a fantastic job. Many greetings to Chennai and all the best.
Vjayakumar - You should be proud, you, and all the people of India as your products, services and expertise become appreciated around the world. Hello from 🇨🇦.
They look like the bikes of the past. I love the seats, they look very comfortable and the hand painted pinstripes, beautiful. Just love watching people craft a bike and loving there job. Nice looking bikes
RE was an English company and the bike was from the world war 2. In around 1947 indian army ordered thousands of these so that company shifted their work here in India, the company died in UK but the part of the company that was in India thrived, it is quite popular choice in India, by the military and the civilians and the good classic design of the past makes it more good looking
This video finally confirms my decision to buy the bike that has been in my head for the last few months. I will feel proud to contribute to sustaining that perfect blend of technology and the essential value of people's work. A small RE Meteor 350 is all I want to go anywhere without rushing, at the last chapter of my life. Knowing how it is made will be part of the pleasure of the road.
That would be the British made?? or Indian? My Father had an English built RE and there were people practicing the best way to have him part with it for years. It had arrived with a girder style, springer front end but the shop retrofitted telescopic forks before selling those ones. It would be 60+ years old now..
@@jackrichards1863 royal enfield was taken by indian brands after british ledft in 1947 so i think it would be indian made...if it would have been sone 75 years ild then it could have been british made
@@starscream1457 I don't know? It had made in england stamped on it in places, AFAI can remember. Doesn't matter any more. Definitely had made like a gun painted on it .
I live in Texas...I am buying one! I want to visit the factory also if it is allowed! We are going to India next year. We have been to India once. We love India!
I have a whole new level of respect for my bike now. After seeing this the amount of care that was taken. You got to be kidding me the stripes are hand painted 🤯 kinda makes all of our bikes one of a kind. Wish I knew the Artist name that did mine.
Love how this company employs men and women alike in the assembly line. In most other auto manufacturing units, cars or motorcycles, women are usually relegated to upholstery or cosmetic work and not with machine tools and engine assembly. I'm glad to know my old bird too had a few ladies who contributed equally in putting her together, same as the hardworking young blokes here as well 🤘 The legacy of equal employment opportunity is an added feather in the Enfield cap. Bravo.
But they always hark about ladies not getting enough opportunities in hard manufacturing jobs in developing countries. In garment and fashion industry, alright, but you get regular noise about automobile industry.
@@areebhussain4856 In an ideal world, sure. But you know well that's not true. Some jobs are usually relegated to specific genders. How many primary school teachers in schools are men? See any growing up? How many sewer line workers are women? That's just how it is and you know it. Assembly lines in most automotive companies are predominantly men. It's just heartening to see women standing up and being counted in jobs that have traditionally not been taken up by them. Can't you be glad about that, man? C'mon.
@@acswain6720 True. These jobs have traditionally been done by men. It's arduous, long shifts, and whatnot. Many women in India (because this is in India, and Enfield is an Indian company) who don't come from privileged backgrounds are still expected to work and handle responsibilities beyond their vocation, i.e. household management. Therefore, working arduous jobs becomes all the more difficult. Things are changing now. Stringent gender roles are being redefined. Equal opportunity and equal employment is a good thing. I'm not complaining at all. But if you suck at it, you should get the boot, man or woman. No bias there as well.
Surprisingly packed choreography. No monotony. Such a Harmony. It's alive. Great pride of Indian Manufacturing. I would welcome if they come out with 150 cc bikes for easy handling.
Yes takes me back to my days at the Redditch factory 60 odd years ago when I worked on the assembly track it was nothing like this new factory with tooling that predated the war they also had a test track at the back of the works and a bike museum with belt drive pedal bikes its all long gone now. Tanks and frames were gold striped with wire frames clipped on and painted with roller boxes the painters would mix the paint by hand.
Royal Enfield Classic 350 is my Dream Bike... But unfortunately 😢 being a Pakistani National i can't buy it from India Well Done India for Keeping Royal Enfield Alive till now. Such a marvelous bike hope i can buy it some day When India and Pakistan start trading 😢
@@MrALenCar321 You’re wrong. It was British until the 1950s when it closed. The Indians bought the jigs and tools and produced the same 350 design for decades until more modern designs of recent years.
@@Rick-ve5lx yes... Imagine ducatis coming at price tag of around 15 grand..... If its built in india.... Harley is already building its new 300 cc model in india... Almost 90% sub 400 cc bikes r made in india no matter what company
Vcs são competentes.... Dedicados.... Capazes e vencedores..... Espero que meus comentários possam chegar ao entendimento de todos.... Estou muito feliz em saber que os concorrentes de vcs não chegam nem aos pés de vcs
When you see the work done by hands, by INDIANS, that is all skills, passed to them by their forefathers, In every village in india you will find herdatory skills which are now on the way to get finished. Due to advanced automatic world. In INDIA, an DEGREE holder is more valid than an heridatory skilled worker who has plenty of knowledge but no UNIVERSITY DEGREE.
No Brasil, a Royal Enfield está tento boa aceitação. As motocicletas têm bom acabamento, são confortáveis e têm os preços acessíveis à realidade brasileira, dentre outras qualidades. Fica aqui os meus parabéns a todos os funcionários e colaboradores da Royal Enfield. Sucesso.
Verdade, os preços são mais realistas. Fiquei sabendo que a RE montou uma fábrica aqui na minha cidade, por enquanto as motos estão sendo somente montadas, mas creio que com o crescimento da marca no Brasil, muitos dos componentes serão nacionalizados, como fizeram Honda e Yamaha.
O problema maior delas foi o cabeçote do motor principalmente na Classic 500, motor batendo cabeçote com 2 000 km, 2.500, e a marca ao invés de fazer recall, por.orientacao da marca apenas trocava por outro, o problema continuava ia lá e trocava novamente, desse jeito acabava o tempo de garantia e: já era, o proprietário após isso arcava com o prejuízo. Não que não.sejam motos confiáveis, mas essa prática usada aqui no Brasil, pra mim foi o suficiente para ficar longe. Não sou fã de nenhuma marca, apenas levo em consideração o número de revendas disponíveis para eventual serviço ou socorro. Moro em Porto Alegre e se sair para viajar e acontecer algum problema mecânico, caiu a casa, onde vou achar peças de reposição?? Por isso evito comprar motos que não sejam fabricadas no Brasil, Não montadas, fabricadas aqui !
@@banfieldfutmesa6967 isso de viajar e nao ter mecanico é a realidade de qualquer moto que não seja uma CG fan 125 kkkkk... esse tipo de pensamento so reforça moto ruim no mercado, vide honda e yamaha que vende motos 100% de plastico pelo preço de royal enfield
I'm not sure what impresses me more. The awesome skills of the guys putting gold stripes on the tanks by hand, the weird-ass freaky robot spraying on the clear coat, or just the sheer industry of it all. Go you good guys. I'm really enjoying my 650 Continental GT, but I worried it may have been built in some hell-hole by exploited workers. I can see this is a fair-dinkum 21st century enterprise, and my bike was built by people who care. Good on you!
This is in Chennai, India's auto manufacturing hub. It's all good. BMW, Citroen, Nissan, Ford, Renault, Yamaha, Daimler, Fiat, Mitsubishi, Hyundai, Caterpillar all have factories here. One of the places in India with better human development indices than Indian average.
@@HellBoy0508 I don't get you mate. I said I was worried it may have come from a worker's nightmare of a factory, but I am relieved and have more confidence in my bike seeing a clean, modern factory. Looks like a great place to work. Don't understand your comment
a very clean factory.....royal enfield motorbikes do not have excesses of technology and electronics and this is precisely their best quality...simple but robust and durable motorbikes...proud to be the owner of one meteor 350.....greetings from Italy
I was really shocked right at the beginning in a very positive way. They handpaint the lines on the tank! The only other company that does that which l know is Rolls-Royce!
That pinstriping guy is a ninja !!! I heard that the skill has been passed down from grandfather to father to son- the guy you see in the video !! So cool to watch him doing his “job”.

They have certainly modernised, in the old days the petrol tank production facility was several men sat out on a veranda with an old car engine block for an anvil, and a hammer. Panel beater's art. The tank painter still has an old skill. Picked up my Himalayan today. Love it already.
What a fantastic factory, Royal Enfield's look great, the assembly workers do a fantastic job, well done all great stuff.
Holy moly! The pin stripes done by hand?! Looks spot on!
Because they want to use less machines and it can make bikes more attractive
@@marvelanddcfan1101its a retro bike. They were hand painted before. So trying to keep the legacy alive.
I rode a hired Royal Enfield Bullet in Goa in 1992...It was reliable and a joy to 'potter' along some of the not so good roads. Watching those guys painting the strips on the fuel tanks was amazing... Well done India you succeeded where the UK failed..
When foreigners driving crazy bikes in Goa in 1992. I was 18.and when group was passing we staring very madly.
RE have nailed the design, manufacture and reliability. I’m buying a Classic 350. Thanks to all the hard working men and women.
WOW .!! Unlimited love and peace to every single person involved in the Royal Enfield production, (and to every single person in India too, and the world over 💖) but your work is just incredible, I'm amazed and extremely thankful.. I ordered my Meteor Supernova in blue last month (in UK), it's in stock already, but I can't pick it up yet because I'm abroad. I will definitely remember you wonderful people when I collect my bike, and will be thanking you all from the depths of my heart, you're all amazing..😊🥰💖👍
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I have seen these bikes at a couple of shows in the US. They seem to be a very good value for the reasonable price on offer.
Impressive, cool bikes and dedicated workers!
Me encanta Royal Enfield, gracias por enseñarnos una de sus fábricas por dentro 👍
This is far more impressive than the trip I took round the Triumph factory in Hinckley last month. I have bought an Interceptor at half the price of a Triumph. Each one of those tanks should have the artist's signature, then in 50 years time we could sell the tank for thousands of $
Good to see where my Classic 500 came from. I own and drive one here in the US.
Fascinating watching how all these highly skilled technicians put together these motorcycles. They must feel so proud to work for Royal Enfield. I love my Interceptor and after watching this feel rather proud in owning one of these amazing machines.

Does the royal enfield company repaints it's old classics bikes in factory?
Awesome I just bought two Royal Enfields out here in California. A Himalayan 412 and a Continental GT 650. Very fun, reliable, and a crowd pleaser
Absolutely Amazing the way these hard workers put the Enfield's together. Hats off to them. It makes you appreciate more so your own Enfield..
my dad used to say triumph employed people to paint lines in the tank, great to see this skill still in practice, I'm hoping to get an interceptor as soon as possible
The hand painting on the fuel tank is amazing and worth praising (And thank you all for 2K likes. I felt blessed).
Yes such an advanced world still human abilities are uplifted...
Its a kind of Heritage. One car company uses one person to assemble the whole engine and given privilege of having his name stuck in that engine.
Yes
Before coming in the showroom they ride them. So basically they are used bikes
@@asadali2311 caha
These guys are doing a great job. The line painting,blows me away, artists at work.😊
This is a lot more confidence building than a guy working in a shed in Britain. These people are lucky to have such a place to work: good wages, clean environment, probably good benefits.
I am sure Britain have better workers law than India
A big salute to all those employees of RE for making such a beautiful bike! Hope they are taken good care of by their company.
You had me after the first 5 seconds when i realized that you actually HANDPAINT the tanks.
Very well done, I plan to get a Super Meteor 650 in the future. Now this decision even feels better than before. Can't wait ❤
Didn't know it was hand built. Awesome n proud!
I’m impressed by the amount of skilled manual labor involved.
Hi
What a great video. these are really skilled tradesman, this was a pleasure to watch . Ride on Royal Enfield!
Drawing such perfect lines on the tank and other parts is a real artist's job, congratulations for these workers who give prestige to the legendary RE brand. I live in Italy but it is very difficult to see them around. I tell the truth that I prefer a RE 1000 times instead of an HD !!!
Excellent insight into the manufacturing, real hands-on motorcycle building, the oldest motorcycle manufacture in the world. Brilliant.
I've had a RE classic 350 for two months now - my first motorbike ever at the age of 57 - and I'm very proud and happy with it. It rides really wonderfully and looks fantastic, a real eye-catcher here in Germany. I get lots of enthusiastic comments. I can't believe that the stripes on the tank are done by hand! Really beautiful! Many thanks to these experts, I would almost say artists, who do such a fantastic job. Many greetings to Chennai and all the best.
I'm so proud to have such an assembly line setup in India and in Tamilnadu.
Vjayakumar - You should be proud, you, and all the people of India as your products, services and expertise become appreciated around the world. Hello from 🇨🇦.
In Tamilnadu state (South India) alone there are three manufacturing plants churning out all models of RE for local and international markets.
@@dougfielding8215 thank you
@@indradevabhakt6244 ohh yahh so true I like tamil hub Auontmobil
it is something to be very proud of.
The black and gold fuel tanks remind me of Norton. Such a shame we couldn't keep motorcycle manufactering in our own hands.
Cheers
I hope TVS can revive Norton with some smart strategy.
I’m loving the gear assembly! Well done to all the RE workers!
Great job!
They look like the bikes of the past. I love the seats, they look very comfortable and the hand painted pinstripes, beautiful. Just love watching people craft a bike and loving there job. Nice looking bikes
RE was an English company and the bike was from the world war 2. In around 1947 indian army ordered thousands of these so that company shifted their work here in India, the company died in UK but the part of the company that was in India thrived, it is quite popular choice in India, by the military and the civilians and the good classic design of the past makes it more good looking
These people are so hard working ❤️❤️ proud of them.
Booked Meteor 😍😍
This video finally confirms my decision to buy the bike that has been in my head for the last few months. I will feel proud to contribute to sustaining that perfect blend of technology and the essential value of people's work. A small RE Meteor 350 is all I want to go anywhere without rushing, at the last chapter of my life. Knowing how it is made will be part of the pleasure of the road.
My father's royal Enfield is almost 43 year's old and it's still in amazing condition thankS to workers who did such an amazing engineering ❤️
I also have a re standard UTA and it's 48 years old
That would be the British made?? or Indian? My Father had an English built RE and there were people practicing the best way to have him part with it for years. It had arrived with a girder style, springer front end but the shop retrofitted telescopic forks before selling those ones. It would be 60+ years old now..
@@jackrichards1863 royal enfield was taken by indian brands after british ledft in 1947 so i think it would be indian made...if it would have been sone 75 years ild then it could have been british made
@@starscream1457 I don't know? It had made in england stamped on it in places, AFAI can remember. Doesn't matter any more. Definitely had made like a gun painted on it .
@@jackrichards1863 agreed bro
I live in Texas...I am buying one! I want to visit the factory also if it is allowed! We are going to India next year. We have been to India once. We love India!
It is in chennai. I am sure you can organize a visit.
Do make sure to take prior permission before you arrive! Yes, they will definitely show you around & even videograph if needed!
Thank u bro also ur welcome 🙏
Iji
Most welcome sir
That paint lines are spot on ...great work💥💥👏🏼
I have a whole new level of respect for my bike now. After seeing this the amount of care that was taken. You got to be kidding me the stripes are hand painted 🤯 kinda makes all of our bikes one of a kind. Wish I knew the Artist name that did mine.
how's your bike now
Its the Kumar brothers who are known for their bike painting. There are vids here on YT on their workmanship.
Love how this company employs men and women alike in the assembly line. In most other auto manufacturing units, cars or motorcycles, women are usually relegated to upholstery or cosmetic work and not with machine tools and engine assembly. I'm glad to know my old bird too had a few ladies who contributed equally in putting her together, same as the hardworking young blokes here as well 🤘 The legacy of equal employment opportunity is an added feather in the Enfield cap. Bravo.
How does it matter if it is a man or a woman?
@@knottytoob jobs are given based on talent, not identify politics.
But they always hark about ladies not getting enough opportunities in hard manufacturing jobs in developing countries. In garment and fashion industry, alright, but you get regular noise about automobile industry.
@@areebhussain4856 In an ideal world, sure. But you know well that's not true. Some jobs are usually relegated to specific genders. How many primary school teachers in schools are men? See any growing up? How many sewer line workers are women? That's just how it is and you know it. Assembly lines in most automotive companies are predominantly men. It's just heartening to see women standing up and being counted in jobs that have traditionally not been taken up by them. Can't you be glad about that, man? C'mon.
@@acswain6720 True. These jobs have traditionally been done by men. It's arduous, long shifts, and whatnot. Many women in India (because this is in India, and Enfield is an Indian company) who don't come from privileged backgrounds are still expected to work and handle responsibilities beyond their vocation, i.e. household management. Therefore, working arduous jobs becomes all the more difficult. Things are changing now. Stringent gender roles are being redefined. Equal opportunity and equal employment is a good thing. I'm not complaining at all. But if you suck at it, you should get the boot, man or woman. No bias there as well.
Surprisingly packed choreography. No monotony. Such a Harmony. It's alive. Great pride of Indian Manufacturing. I would welcome if they come out with 150 cc bikes for easy handling.
Proud of being an RE owner. Love the Indian brand
If I ever buy one, it will be because of the hand painting on the tank. Well done India. This is what England lost.
Yes takes me back to my days at the Redditch factory 60 odd years ago when I worked on the assembly track it was nothing like this new factory with tooling that predated the war they also had a test track at the back of the works and a bike museum with belt drive pedal bikes its all long gone now.
Tanks and frames were gold striped with wire frames clipped on and painted with roller boxes the painters would mix the paint by hand.
Agreed! That’s was fascinating.
Royal Enfield Classic 350 is my Dream Bike... But unfortunately 😢 being a Pakistani National i can't buy it from India
Well Done India for Keeping Royal Enfield Alive till now. Such a marvelous bike hope i can buy it some day When India and Pakistan start trading 😢
One thing great about these bikes are they are hand made rather than typical assembly lines production. More employment and more empowerment.
And more flaws.
@@gordongoodman8342 You mean more character? ;)
Western countries must move their industries to India. Proud rider of 650 interceptor. great bike. no QC issues what so ever.
Royal Enfield moved to India in 1955. Otherwise your Interceptor would be made in England and cost twelve grand.
@@Rick-ve5lx royal Enfield was always an Indian company right or am I wrong?
@@MrALenCar321 You’re wrong. It was British until the 1950s when it closed. The Indians bought the jigs and tools and produced the same 350 design for decades until more modern designs of recent years.
@@MrALenCar321
Your wrong, RE is an England company
@@Rick-ve5lx yes... Imagine ducatis coming at price tag of around 15 grand..... If its built in india.... Harley is already building its new 300 cc model in india... Almost 90% sub 400 cc bikes r made in india no matter what company
Vcs são competentes.... Dedicados.... Capazes e vencedores..... Espero que meus comentários possam chegar ao entendimento de todos.... Estou muito feliz em saber que os concorrentes de vcs não chegam nem aos pés de vcs
I'm impressed, good PR for the factory. Hand pinstriping, it takes a lot more talent to do that than I have.
I'm very impressed with the guys doing the trim on the gas tanks, that takes a lot of skill to get the same design each time, excellent work.

It's a family job
His grand father did the same job
His father did the same job
He also does the same
When you see the work done by hands, by INDIANS, that is all skills, passed to them by their forefathers, In every village in india you will find herdatory skills which are now on the way to get finished. Due to advanced automatic world. In INDIA, an DEGREE holder is more valid than an heridatory skilled worker who has plenty of knowledge but no UNIVERSITY DEGREE.
Très beau travail, vous avez acquis une très grande expérience, la Royal Enfield c’est une légende, bravo X 1000 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼❤️
what a sharp hand painting...damn good skills
If it is England or some other country, they will mention it has HAND MADE and price it expensive.
😆😆😆
Correct bro for example: rolls Royce car it is made by hand made humans so it is cost to above 6 crores

UK price is from 3.8 lakh new uk£ equivalent plus tax insurance ect.
Bhai abhi kam mehangi hai kya 😅
No Brasil, a Royal Enfield está tento boa aceitação. As motocicletas têm bom acabamento, são confortáveis e têm os preços acessíveis à realidade brasileira, dentre outras qualidades. Fica aqui os meus parabéns a todos os funcionários e colaboradores da Royal Enfield. Sucesso.
Verdade, os preços são mais realistas. Fiquei sabendo que a RE montou uma fábrica aqui na minha cidade, por enquanto as motos estão sendo somente montadas, mas creio que com o crescimento da marca no Brasil, muitos dos componentes serão nacionalizados, como fizeram Honda e Yamaha.
Tomara que a aceitação não faça os preços explodirem como foi com a Hyundai. Acho as motos muito bonitas e tenho interesse em adquirir uma.
O problema maior delas foi o cabeçote do motor principalmente na Classic 500, motor batendo cabeçote com 2
000 km, 2.500, e a marca ao invés de fazer recall, por.orientacao da marca apenas trocava por outro, o problema continuava ia lá e trocava novamente, desse jeito acabava o tempo de garantia e: já era, o proprietário após isso arcava com o prejuízo.
Não que não.sejam motos confiáveis, mas essa prática usada aqui no Brasil, pra mim foi o suficiente para ficar longe.
Não sou fã de nenhuma marca, apenas levo em consideração o número de revendas disponíveis para eventual serviço ou socorro.
Moro em Porto Alegre e se sair para viajar e acontecer algum problema mecânico, caiu a casa, onde vou achar peças de reposição?? Por isso evito comprar motos que não sejam fabricadas no Brasil, Não montadas, fabricadas aqui !
@@banfieldfutmesa6967 isso de viajar e nao ter mecanico é a realidade de qualquer moto que não seja uma CG fan 125 kkkkk... esse tipo de pensamento so reforça moto ruim no mercado, vide honda e yamaha que vende motos 100% de plastico pelo preço de royal enfield
Magnifica produção. Maravilhoso. Parabens
I'm not sure what impresses me more. The awesome skills of the guys putting gold stripes on the tanks by hand, the weird-ass freaky robot spraying on the clear coat, or just the sheer industry of it all. Go you good guys. I'm really enjoying my 650 Continental GT, but I worried it may have been built in some hell-hole by exploited workers. I can see this is a fair-dinkum 21st century enterprise, and my bike was built by people who care. Good on you!
There are labor unions in india and thus the exploitation of labors is less in India if you compare with China.
This is in Chennai, India's auto manufacturing hub. It's all good. BMW, Citroen, Nissan, Ford, Renault, Yamaha, Daimler, Fiat, Mitsubishi, Hyundai, Caterpillar all have factories here. One of the places in India with better human development indices than Indian average.
Hell hole? , crawl out of your hole and see the world dude
@@HellBoy0508 I don't get you mate. I said I was worried it may have come from a worker's nightmare of a factory, but I am relieved and have more confidence in my bike seeing a clean, modern factory. Looks like a great place to work. Don't understand your comment
@@spsspssps Nice work, sadly we manufacture bugger all now in Australia
a very clean factory.....royal enfield motorbikes do not have excesses of technology and electronics and this is precisely their best quality...simple but robust and durable motorbikes...proud to be the owner of one meteor 350.....greetings from Italy
Un grand bravo à vous pour la qualité et le sérieux de votre travail.
Je suis très fier de rouler en Royal endfield 👍✌️😉.
Thanks from France
I was really shocked right at the beginning in a very positive way. They handpaint the lines on the tank! The only other company that does that which l know is Rolls-Royce!
I might be wrong but triumph does the same on their street twin lineup.
At one time B.M.W. used to hand paint pin stripes. The artist would sign the underside of the tank.
i lived 300 yards from the redditch factory in hewell rd, i saw them doing this painting in 1956.
sorry but BMW did it first
BMW do it on the R18
I enjoyed seeing how my new GT was built, thank you!
That pinstriping guy is a ninja !!! I heard that the skill has been passed down from grandfather to father to son- the guy you see in the video !! So cool to watch him doing his “job”.
No one is crying nepotism here
