Royal Enfield® motorcycles have been a part of history since 1901. Selling over 3 million motorcycles since its inception, Royal Enfield is one of the oldest motorcycle brands in the world. At Willamette Valley Harley-Davidson, we stock a wide variety of Royal Enfield motorcycles that have been designed to meet the needs of different types of riders. Visit our Eugene, Oregon dealership serving Albany and Corvallis for a test ride.

Royal Enfeild® Are More Modern Than Before

Royal Enfield now offers anti-lock braking technology. This rear ABS prevents the wheels from locking up during sudden braking. And, if you're a touring rider, Royal Enfield also has a Telepath/ABS version that comes with a full LED headlight and a windshield.

Not Meant For Speed

While an Enfield will get you from point A to B, it's not meant for speed and power. It has a 650-750 cc engine that produces sufficient power to get on the highway comfortably without feeling like you're going too slow.

A Royal Engineering Sirup

Royal Enfield motorcycles are made out of steel, which gives the motorcycle a classic look. This also makes them very tough and durable. Some models come with disc brakes for added control and safety on the road.

Engine Type

There are two engine types available with Royal Enfield models: the carbureted and the fuel-injected version. The carbureted model saves you some money by not having to deal with computer systems and other electronic devices that might cause problems during your ride. However, the carbureted model doesn't have much power, so it might stall on uphill rides. The fuel-injected version is much easier to drive and has more power for your uphill rides. However, it can be quite costly when compared to the carbureted version of Enfield motorcycles.

Resale Value

Royal Enfield motorcycles have a great resale value. Because they are so durable, you can sell them at any time in the future when you need to upgrade your motorcycle. Royal Enfield motorcycles appreciate slowly, which is excellent for collectors. You can ride one of these bikes for years before selling it and still make money.

Riding Posture

Royal Enfield motorcycles are very comfortable, allowing you to ride for hours without having any discomfort. They have neutral handlebars and low seats that allow the rider to sit in a relaxed position while enjoying their evening drive.
