All the bikes that we will be riding are made by Royal Enfield in India. Based on an old English BSA design from the 1930's, the 500-cc Enfield is the most powerful bike on the Indian roads. The design of the actual bike has not altered that much over the 70 odd years that they have been in production, making it a truly classic bike with a definite temperament.
