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 🇮🇳
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
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
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
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.
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. 😍
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!
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!
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.
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!
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.:)

@@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.

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
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).
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 $
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.
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.👍.
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'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!
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.
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 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.
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 😢
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 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..
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
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!
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 !!!
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 ❤
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 .
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.
Now this is how a factory should look like clean, modern and updated. The Chinese can learn from these people. The Chinese factory has no quality control and in India they do .They can produce good product at a low cost. Learn from this .
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.
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
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.
When I'm in the market for replacing my bikes I will definitly place the 650 interceptor high on the list. I had several original Triumph's and BSA's and these seem more like the real deal than Triumphs current bikes that are not made in England. Love the hand pinstripes I'd want the chrome fuel tank.
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.
I'm impressed. Real people crafting real motorcycles; I feel the karma. Lookout Honda, your soul is fading, whereas Royal Enfield's is rising. Fascinating to watch...j
Not really ... Honda is the motorcycle of the world ... Honda is the motorcycle supply line of the world ... Honda machines will outlast all these bikes. --- Sorry to bust your bubble, but Honda has automated process also in their bike building. Same as yammaHammer, SUZ, Husky, Kawi ...
@@250txc There is a saying here about RE motor cycles, if you own a RE bike, your grandson can use it as well. I have seem a lot of youngsters riding their grandfather's RE bike. that's why they proudly say "Built like a gun".
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.
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
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 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
Thank you for building these fine motorcycles. I love mine. Thanks to all these hard working professionals in the video. Very skilled.
That's exactly what I say and feel about it all.
Any issues with the bike?
What a fabulous factory! Great to see such professionalism, building the best motorcycle in India!
Brother, if you search the world's 10 largest motorcycle companies on Google, then most of them will be Indian companies.🙏🇮🇳🇮🇳
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).
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 $
It is great to see, how modern and clean this factory works.

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.
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.👍.
Yeah, when I see my Royal Enfield Classic 350 in Halcyon Grey, I can see why it came out so nice! This factory looks amazing!
Ride Safe 🙏🏼
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.
be very proud of the work you are doing om from England love royal Enfield bikes i had a 350 bullet in the sixties great bike
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..😊🥰💖👍
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
That guy who hand painted that tank shows that passion on work gives amazing output
Thank you for making my bullet 500 trials so beautiful, from Colorado 👍
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!
Brings me back to the days when I was a worker in the car manufacturing industry! Good to see this factory-greetings from Australia!!
Good to see where my Classic 500 came from. I own and drive one here in the US.
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.
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.
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.
I’m owning a Royal Enfield Meteor 350. I love it and when I see this video, I adore it. It always brings me a good feeling when on the ride ❤️
I love my Interceptor!!! this is a proud factory, congratulations
Excellent footage of the whole process showing how a legend is built: Royal Enfield.
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
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
S
UK price is from 3.8 lakh new uk£ equivalent plus tax insurance ect.
Bhai abhi kam mehangi hai kya 😅
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.
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 😢
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
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.
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
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
These guys are doing a great job. The line painting,blows me away, artists at work.😊
I’m impressed by the amount of skilled manual labor involved.
Hi
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? ;)
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..
Didn't know it was hand built. Awesome n proud!
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 !!!
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 ❤
What a fantastic factory, Royal Enfield's look great, the assembly workers do a fantastic job, well done all great stuff.
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
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.
Now this is how a factory should look like clean, modern and updated. The Chinese can learn from these people. The Chinese factory has no quality control and in India they do .They can produce good product at a low cost. Learn from this .
They won’t, production would just leave China for Vietnam or India then.
Royal Enfield and quality control? Are you serious? This is crap company with lots of QC issues

@Chronoris Outer Chennai, India !!
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
What a beautiful factory with beautiful people making beautiful motorcycles. With love. Awesome sight to see.
Excellent insight into the manufacturing, real hands-on motorcycle building, the oldest motorcycle manufacture in the world. Brilliant.
Indian’s have such a great work ethic, not like the British people I work with.
Stop generalising dude!
What do you mean Bro?!!?
Good and bad are found everywhere.
Depends on your boss 😂😂😂 wherever you live

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.
When I'm in the market for replacing my bikes I will definitly place the 650 interceptor high on the list. I had several original Triumph's and BSA's and these seem more like the real deal than Triumphs current bikes that are not made in England. Love the hand pinstripes I'd want the chrome fuel tank.
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.
I'm impressed. Real people crafting real motorcycles; I feel the karma. Lookout Honda, your soul is fading, whereas Royal Enfield's is rising. Fascinating to watch...j
Not really ... Honda is the motorcycle of the world ... Honda is the motorcycle supply line of the world ... Honda machines will outlast all these bikes.

Proud of being an RE owner. Love the Indian brand
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
The bike of choice for me would be the RE Himalayan, if I had the money. This video gives me so much more confidence in RE than a Chinese bike.
Pretty amazing that they would let someone film the actual production. Impressive.
