  1. Royal Enfield sell much more than the around 80,000 /90,000 estimate you’d get from the numbers put forward above. Or, perhaps the numbers were just for the new 350 range? Royal Enfields’ yearly sales numbers are more like 800,000 + bikes per year, even after the collapse in the local, Indian market in, I think, 2018. I may have missed a reference to the quoted numbers being ‘exports’ from India, but they are still much lower than the last export figures I’ve seen – 2020 /2021.
