Customs at EICMA

Several Royal Enfield  custom models were presented at EICMA Motorcycle Show in Milan.

Exports soar!

Royal Enfield exports have grown by close to 1000% since last year, accounting now for 4% of the production. I am not entirely knowledgeable of the economics, but Royal Enfields sell abroad at a considerable premium over the prices paid in India, so in terms of revenue the growth may be even more significant.

Yoshiko Okada

Picture is from 1927. In 1938 she fled Japan's fascism with his lover and defected to the Soviet Union. As with other cases, however, they were accused of spying, his lover was executed and she spent 10 years in the gulag. At the end of her confinement she retook her career and co-directed a movie. She died in Moscow in 1992. 

The 30

The 30 is a custom that Royal Enfield developed in collaboration with Krom Works in Indonesia, who have produced some stunning Enfields in the past.
