Royal Enfield Bike Factory In India (Awesome!)

[Pegassus]

I'm not a fan of Brit or Italian bikes/automotives but this video shows how this bike is almost totally hand-made. It makes me want to buy one. This video also shows that India has the skilled labor to build any machinery in the world with professionalism. I wonder how long it took to train these young people to this level.

This is the old plant for building the 350/500 singles.
I believe the new setup for the Himalayans, 650s and the Meteor 350s is even more state of the art.

Harris Engineering , a fairly famous British race company had a hand in engineering , they designed the frames for the new Continentals and provided other expertise.

As an aside, Harris was also a distributor of Royal Enfield in the UK and dropped the line (about 6 yrs ago) , warranty claims were killing them
