Riding a motorcycle in Chennai offers a unique sensory experience. One can distinctly hear the sounds of traffic and people swearing, smell the roadside food stalls serving fried delicacies, feel the heat beating down, and see every nook and pothole of the streets.
Many brands and motorcycles have tried to make their mark on this city and its people, but only a few have developed a cult following and remained relevant. Among them, one has Madras emblazoned all over it.
Royal Enfield is the oldest motorcycle brand in continuous production, creating models in the mid-size motorcycle segment. Despite tracing its origins to England, the factory in Tiruvottiyur, Chennai, is significant. Combining the latest technology with vintage designs, RE motorcycles are hardy with a classic look.
