What’s your favourite colour– Part 2

So we have mentioned colours to choose from when it comes to the Classic model. As if the decision was not difficult enough here is an other variation. One of this blogs readers pointed me to a post that a fellow Royal Enfield Blogger made recently (http://www.royalenfields.com/2011/07/royal-enfield-to-offer-military-in.html). It speaks about a potential colour variation to the current olive drab military version. It seems like an obvious variation to me. The colour has been dubbed “Desert Storm”. I think it is an appropriate name

What’s your favourite colour?

I suppose that after choosing the bike, Enfield of course, you need to decide on the colour. I have blogged about this before, different paintjobs and which colour to choose.

No there is more choice. Some of you might have heard that there is a chrome version of the Classic available. This is true and it is on its way to South Africa. If you haven’t seen it here it is….

 

When I first saw a photo of this bike the first time I was not convinced that it was an option for me. This was until I saw an aerial shot of the tank. Now I love it. As if I did not have enough problem making a choice in colour.

1000 Bike Show – Feedback

As you might know the 1000 bike show was held at the Germiston High School this past weekend. I made a turn there on Saturday to see what it was all about. I have never attended this event before, probably because I never knew that it existed. Fortunately Allan (Royal Enfield Gauteng) mentioned it to me when I visited the showroom recently.

So what were my expectations? Well I didn’t really have too many except as I knew I was going to have a chance to see lots of classic bikes and off course the Royal Enfield. I had mentioned to my wife that I wanted to attend the show and she agreed to come along. This was perfect, now show her the bike that I am so passionate about.

I was pleased to see such a large turn out. Of course there were plenty of bikers that turned up and their bikes were parked in front of the large marque tent. There were many beautiful bikes to be viewed, ranging from superbikes to Harleys. But the really treasures were in the tent.

 

Of the course the best treasure were the Royal Enfields. I had a chance to meet Brice the man behind Royal Enfield South Africa. Here he is alongside the poster of the new Military version. He told me they only have one left as the others have been snapped up already.

I am happy to say that my wife was impressed with the Enfields. She prefers the teal colour over the maroon (my choose). The teal as I understand is a more “classic” Enfield colour so that might not be a bad choose when I eventually purchase one of these beauties.

Here are photos of the other Classic Bikes that were on display
