I found this video to be inspiring. You don't have to love Royal Enfields, to appreciate their love of their bikes.

Thanks for sharing this I really enjoyed it.

I've seen quite a lot of Enfield videos recently (possibly because of the Continental launch) and this one by far is my favorite. So much character and flavor. A lot of other videos seem to be trying to hide that Enfield's are essentially Indian bikes now, but I like the fact that this one embraces it. As long as their builders have pride, passion, and care, does it matter that the bike isn't made where it used to be?



Incidentally, if you're watching around the family, the language is occasionally nsfw.

I can somewhat understand where they are coming from, being fully immersed into the passion of motorcycling and bringing that passion to others for 14 years now. Maybe I'll understand them further in another 30 years of doing the same thing.

That was very a beautiful video, written in the language of motorcycle love.

"We must not let this die" was a great ending point.

I also really liked the line about "how today's machines do not have the passion, character or style" of the older machines, quite a interesting point, maybe it's what drew me to the Moto Guzzi. It would be interesting to test ride a RE, in fact, there is one at a dealership near by I've been meaning to try out...

Interesting and somewhat inspiring......We all live in our own surroundings and we tend to forget there is an entire planet of people around around us. Its amazing to see the contrasts and differences but it is also surprising to see how similar we all are as well.

I have ridden , worked on , and loved many bikes for over 37 years now. I have to say that l actually love them all in one way or another. We all have our passions, some stronger than others, but I can personally say that I love motorcycles in general and can appreciate the good the bad and the ugly in each of them.

There is something to be said for the simplicity and core value of a bike like the Royal Enfield. I have experienced everything from totally modern fully electronic super high performance bikes to simple fun machines like an SR500 or XR75 . When I look at the experiences over the years , some bikes were better than others but they all left me with good memories and desire for more.

I have come to realize I like riding more than I like working on them as well......don't get me wrong , I still love to see and fiddle with them in pieces , but I enjoy them more when I am in the saddle twisting the grip .
