Not a surprise, this was set in motion quite a while ago.. Hardly surpising either, as BMW's tiddlers are all just rebadged TVS bikes, another Indian brand.
I think you'll find I mentioned it back in 2018 ..

However, no reason they should be shitty, as, if you look at the newer Royal Enfields, decent well built machines, I can vouch my Interceptor has better build quality, and is more reliable than my Triumph ever was, oh, and definitely more corrosion resistant.. ____________________ Beware what photos you upload, or link to on here, especially if you have family members on them |

No surprise as such but it's now officially a "thing." RE? Okay so now they're churning out good bikes. I don't think I'd want to buy one of the first Triumph/Bajaj bikes off the production line, after a couple of years maybe...
Wonder if they'll do a budget triple or is that an oxymoron? ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

If it's good, the bikes will be fine, if it isn't they will be third world crap. We see it often enough with China.

It's been going on for decades, it's handy that we're party of a large trading block ..
Either way I really don't care, there is nothing I can have any affect on on the political scale, neither now, or at point in the future, but, I'm looking forward to having my Imperiale delivered next week ____________________ Beware what photos you upload, or link to on here, especially if you have family members on them |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 4 years, 91 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
