Looks like a world class manufacturing facility to me!!

Thanks for the video.
I used to go to Chennai once a year for business before the - 19 and visiting this factory is on my to do list.

I almost didn't buy mine because when I looked at all it came with for the price my skeptical side kicked in. 6,000 miles of smiles on my Himalayan now. The same miles that are on the V7III that I bought 7 months earlier.

Quite impressive but thanks a lot as now I want a RE!
I wish I looked as fit and trim as all the workers there too.
Crazy pinstriping skills!

Royal Enfield has come a long ways since their days in Redditch!

quite something ! Ya ,the Pinstripe Guy ,...

If you were on the fence about buying a Royal Enfield, I think this would positively influence a decision.

Very interesting indeed.

Hopefully their break-in procedures are bit better then KTM's, made in India setup..

I bet that KTM is loosened up nicely now!

Boy those KTM headlights look bright.

Looks very good, but proof is in the pudding and the devil is in the details. Any high mileage reports on the new REs yet? How many engines do they actually run on the test rig as shown?1 in 100, 100%?

Tom · « **Reply #19 on:** February 13, 2021, 02:01:28 PM »

Probably the same % as other manufacturers.

Shorty · « **Reply #20 on:** February 13, 2021, 04:41:46 PM »

Impressive. Not at all what I imagined. Looks like they might actually discipline a worker who forgot grease or a gasket... BUT I bet lunchtimes are more fun in Mandello....

Tom · « **Reply #21 on:** February 13, 2021, 04:43:38 PM »

Gotta be. I don't think they've stopped the tradition of having a shot of grappa before heading back to the assembly line.

ozarquebus · « **Reply #22 on:** February 13, 2021, 05:37:37 PM »

They have one thing going for them at least. The owner's dad raised him in his tractor factory.
I can imagine when the whistle blows at quitting time, all those guys and gals on the assembly line mount their Splendor Hero 100s and go blasting out of the parking lot.
Most of them probably cannot afford an Enfield.

Apparently some of those ladies on the assembly line may ride motorcycles. There seem to be plenty of Indian Itchy Boots types riding across the subcontinent; Esha Gupta for instance.
