Suzuki’s 8T and 8TT modern retros have won a prestigious Red Dot Design Award.

The two new retro-inspired machines – based on the same platform as the award-winning GSX-8S and GSX-8R – take design cues from iconic models from Suzuki’s back catalogue.

Suzuki is offering a low finance rate of 2.9% across its GSX-S1000 range, plus the Katana and the Hayabusa, while buyers of the Hayabusa can also benefit from £1000 off the official Akrapovic exhausts when ordered at the time of purchase. For V-Strom 800DE and 800RE customers there is the added sweetener of free aluminium panniers. 

Suzuki’s low-rate finance offer of 2.9% APR representative is available on both PCP and hire purchase deals on Suzuki’s GSX-S1000 naked, the GSX-S1000GT+ sports tourer, and the updated GSX-S1000GX+ crossover. Both the GT+ and GX+ come with 36-litre panniers as standard. It also extends to the Katana, inspired by its 1980s namesake, and the Hayabusa, including the new special edition. 

The official accessory Akrapovic exhausts for the legendary hyperbike are also available with £1000 off when ordered at the time of purchase. They can also be included in any finance deal and wrapped into the monthly repayments. 

Marking a defining moment in its journey, the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 recorded its strongest year yet, with an annual sales growth of over 53% (excluding India), reinforcing its place as a trusted, go-anywhere machine.

First introduced in 2016, this year celebrating 10 years of production, the Himalayan marked Royal Enfield’s entry into the 400cc segment with an entirely new form factor. One that reimagined capability as an everyday companion, equally at ease on highways, city streets and the road less travelled.

Cementing its position as one of the most loved and capable adventure motorcycles in its class, the motorcycle continues to build an evocative relation between man, machine, and terrain. From its 2016 debut as a purpose-built motorcycle for the Himalayas, to the ground-up reimagined do it all Himalayan 450 launched in 2023, the Himalayan has consistently pushed the boundaries of what a motorcycle can be, from weekend adventure to daily commute, cementing its place as a default choice for riders who refuse to be boxed into one kind of riding.

To further fuel the motorcycle’s momentum, the Himalayan Mana Black was introduced in 2025, a motorcycle inspired by the formidable Mana Pass, known to be one of the world’s most challenging high-altitude routes that strikes the perfect chord with the evolving adventure touring community of riders.

Himalayan Domination – Setting Sales Records

This year has emerged as the strongest yet for the Himalayan 450 globally, with record deliveries to riders across markets. Since its debut in 2016, the platform has grown significantly — from the introduction of the new Himalayan 450 powered by the Sherpa engine at the end of 2023 with over 9,600 units sold that year, to annual global sales surpassing 38,000 units this year — steadily expanding the mid-size adventure touring segment worldwide.

Following its leadership in India’s mid-size adventure segment for a decade, the Himalayan has further bolstered its popularity in markets such as Brazil, where the motorcycle has emerged as the best-selling adventure motorcycle in its class, reflecting its universal appeal and Royal Enfield’s growing global footprint.

Over the past few years in the UK, the Himalayan 450 has covered extraordinary ground. Most recently it has demonstrated its versatile capabilities both on and off-road over the past year, with particular highlights including its use in partnership with the British Army, and a dominant win in the singles class at the Valleys X-Treme Lite event in Wales.

Having circumnavigated the world multiple times, the Himalayan has served as a trusted companion for adventurers and explorers undertaking journeys few motorcycles could endure.

Looking forward, the Himalayan will be among the most prominent motorcycles at the Adventure Bike Rider (ABR) Festival, one of the world’s most celebrated adventure motorcycling events, drawing attention and admiration from riders and enthusiasts globally.

Rooted in the Himalayas, which remain Royal Enfield’s spiritual home, the Himalayan continues to extend beyond the motorcycle through a rich ecosystem of rides and programmes such as the Himalayan Odyssey, along with initiatives like the Great Himalayan Exploration that celebrate journeying across these landscapes. Together, these experiences continue to foster a global community of riders connected by the spirit of pure motorcycling.

Royal Enfield, the global leader in the mid-size motorcycle segment (250cc–750cc), has been ranked the 3rd strongest auto brand in the world by Brand Finance, in its Automotive Industry 2026 report. The recognition places Royal Enfield amongst the world’s most admired automotive names and strengthens its position as a truly global Indian brand, one that continues to shape the future of motorcycling while staying true to its timeless spirit.

Royal Enfield achieved a Brand Strength Index (BSI) score of 88.9/100 with an AAA rating, while recording a remarkable 30% surge in brand value to USD 1.2 billion.

As the oldest motorcycle brand in continuous production with a legacy spanning 125 years, Royal Enfield has evolved into one of the world’s most iconic motorcycle brands, loved by generations of riders for its timeless design, authentic character, and philosophy of Pure Motorcycling. Today, the brand has a presence across 80+ countries, supported by a growing retail network of over 3,200 stores globally, seven international CKD assembly facilities, and vibrant riding communities around the world.

Royal Enfield holds strong market positions globally, from Melbourne to Munich and Rio to Bangkok, and continues to build deep emotional connections with riders through its motorcycles, immersive experiences, and culture-led community platforms.

Its portfolio spans 14 internal combustion engine motorcycles across Heritage, Cruiser, Roadster, Adventure, and Pure Sport categories, each reflecting the brand’s ability to blend heritage with modern relevance for riders across markets. More recently, Royal Enfield has also marked its entry into electric mobility with Flying Flea, its new city+ electric mobility brand, launching the Flying Flea C6.

The strength of the brand is further reflected in the recognition it continues to receive across quality and partner ecosystem benchmarks. Royal Enfield was ranked highest in overall two-wheeler initial quality in the J.D. Power 2025 study and secured the #1 position in the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA) Dealer Satisfaction Survey.

• Introducing the all-new Bullet 650; a tribute to impeccable British lineage and indomitable Indian soul. Old school forever!

• Born in 1932 the Bullet is the world’s oldest motorcycle in continuous production, now in a new powerful 650cc Twin incarnation – joining the celebrations for 125 Years of Royal Enfield

• Celebrated at the Royal Albert Hall with the “Ballad of the Bullet” creative collaboration

May 5, 2026: Royal Enfield has confirmed the UK pricing and availability for the Bullet 650 with a price of £6,749, set to arrive in UK dealerships this week.

The Bullet stands as one of the world’s oldest motorcycles in continuous production, now in a new powerful 650cc Twin incarnation, a lasting tribute to its impeccable British lineage and indomitable Indian soul, carrying its legendary DNA forward in every detail.

With the vintage-inspired bench seat, traditional nacelle, and commanding upright riding stance staying true to the signature Bullet silhouette, the Bullet has always stood for authenticity, resilience, and character. This new chapter carries that spirit forward, with more presence, more performance, and the same unmistakable riding experience.

For its initial reveal at EICMA 2025, in Milan, Italy, the Bullet 650 was unveiled with a historic collaboration with the Royal Albert Hall, London, set to the tune of a truly unique and one-of-a-kind score titled ‘The Ballad of the Bullet’. This film and composition perfectly epitomises the weaving together of two iconic institutions of the UK and India, blending together of South Indian percussion and the world-famous Grand Organ of the Hall, and displayed in stunning images that capture the Bullet 650 at the Royal Albert Hall.

As 2026 marks the 125th Anniversary of Royal Enfield, and celebrating being the world’s oldest motorcycling brand in continuous production since 1901, the Bullet 650 will be available in dealerships from this week onwards.

2026 Bullet 650

The Bullet finds its most powerful expression yet with the acclaimed parallel twin 650cc engine delivering an authentic ride that’s more resolute than ever. Paired with it are the proven steel tubular spine frame, gleaming hand-painted pinstripes, iconic tiger lamps, vintage-inspired 3D winged badge and a commanding riding stance, preserving all the hallmarks that have made this motorcycle an icon for generations.

The Bullet 650’s twin engine delivers smooth power and effortless acceleration, ideal for both relaxed and spirited rides, with figures of 34.6 kW (46.4 bhp) and 52.3 Nm of torque, while its precise 6-speed gearbox and light slipper clutch contribute to an effortless journey. With every curve designed in harmony with its parallel-twin heart, its substantial bodywork and commanding stance lend it the graceful presence of a true big-capacity, old-school motorcycle.

The motorcycle features a sumptuous bench seat (at 800mm) and raised handlebars to give its rider true presence on the road, while its Showa suspension absorbs imperfections with composure. Its all-metal construction rests on 18-inch rear and 19-inch front wheels, a traditional balance that anchors its distinguished form. The signature teardrop tank with its venerable winged badges and casquette-mounted LED headlamp complete with “tiger-eye” pilot lamps – first seen on Royal Enfields in 1954 – seals its lineage.

The Bullet has always stood for resilience, as a motorcycle that has endured, adapted and stayed true to its character for over 90 years. Every line, every contour, and every detail has been crafted to preserve the soul of the original, while bringing in the power and refinement of our twin-cylinder platform. To not create this motorcycle would have been inconceivable; it was a natural evolution.

A clean instrument cluster combines analogue charm and modern function with digital LCD readouts for fuel, trip, gear position, and service reminders that keep everything essential within easy sight. Riders can further personalise their machine with Genuine Motorcycle Accessories, tailoring its comfort and its style to their taste.

The Bullet 650 is a seamless blend of precision engineering with heritage DNA. Versatile, old-school and endlessly dependable, it is more than a motorcycle; it is a living legend with every ride a new chapter in an unmatched story.

The Bullet has proved infinitely adaptable across nine decades. The new Bullet 650 remains true to what it has always been. Timeless, steadfast, immersed in a halo of nostalgia, impossible to imitate. Beneath its signature silhouette lies the latest precision engineering; smoother, powerful and built for the riders of today.

Royal Enfield, the global leader in the mid-size motorcycle segment, today announced the new 2026 Guerrilla 450 APEX models for EMEA markets, a sharper, more focused expression of its street-performance roadster.

Built around the same visceral Sherpa engine, the APEX redefines intent through stance and control – featuring a lower, more committed riding posture, road-focused tyres, and design elements that amplify its corner-hungry character. Every element is tuned to reward rider input, making real-world streets feel faster, and more involving.

HIGHLIGHTS OF GUERRILLA 450 APEX VARIANT:

• Sportier riding position: Lowered and repositioned aluminium handlebars with a more forward-leaning riding triangle for a commanding, sport-focused stance.

• New road-biased tyres: APEX variant features new, road-biased 17” Vredestein Centauro ST tyres, carrying a sporty DNA while offering enhanced grip on wet and low friction surfaces.

• Updated ride modes: Refined Street and Sport ride modes with mode retention – allowing seamless switching and retaining the last selected mode across ignition cycles.

• Sharper visual identity and aesthetics: New CTGs, APEX Red and APEX Black further enhance the range, bringing a sharper visual identity. Standard rim tapes, a sculpted rear seat cowl and a colour-coded front cowl add to the motorcycle’s sportier stance.

• Additionally, a premium colour variant is available for the Guerrilla 450: Twilight Blue, alongside Shadow Ash.

Built on the iconic Sherpa platform and supported by a balanced steel twin spar frame, the 2026 Guerrilla 450 continues to deliver 40PS and 40Nm, offering strong, accessible performance across the rev range. Across its variants, the motorcycle emphasises stability under acceleration, agility in corners and confidence through changing road conditions.

All variants of the 2026 Guerrilla 450 are equipped with Royal Enfield’s Tripper Dash – a circular 4-inch TFT display with Google Maps-powered navigation and seamless smartphone connectivity – enhancing every ride with intuitive guidance, real-time ride insights, and providing a more connected, in-control riding experience.

Commenting on 125 years of Royal Enfield and 125,000 motorcycles built on the Sherpa platform, Yadvinder Singh Guleria, Chief Commercial Officer at Royal Enfield, said

“The Guerrilla 450 has established itself as a compelling proposition for riders seeking an engaging, street-focused motorcycle that blends everyday usability with spirited performance. With the 2026 updates, we are sharpening that proposition further — introducing a sportier expression with enhanced ergonomics, new road-biased tyres and features that amplify its agile, corner-hungry character. We now offer one machine with two flavours, to let customers choose between an upright, street-first ergonomics with plenty of muscle, or a grippier ride to conquer every corner. The launch also coincides with two important milestones for us as a brand — 125 years of Royal Enfield and 125,000 motorcycles built globally on the Sherpa platform.”

GRRR x Fairtex

Royal Enfield Guerrilla has partnered with Fairtex, the iconic Muay Thai brand, on a special collaboration rooted in discipline, precision, agility and controlled power – the traits of an urban fighter. The partnership introduces a limited-edition range of Fairtex x Guerrilla gear, including boxing gloves, Muay Thai shorts and a T-shirt, alongside a custom motorcycle based on the 2026 Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 APEX. Finished in collaboration colours with a raw, street-focused stance, the build reflects the focused aggression and athleticism shared by both brands.

The collaboration was unveiled at GRRR Nights X Underground festival in Guwahati, an event designed to showcase the motorcycle’s versatility and performance. Drift demos, drag races and hands-on experiences gave participants a direct feel of the Guerrilla 450, complemented by live sets from EPR Iyer and Shaddly Mellow, along with DJ performances and an enthusiast meet-up that brought together the culture around the machine.

The 2026 Guerrilla 450 APEX adds a sharper, sportier dimension to the product, broadening its appeal to riders seeking agility and control in everyday urban riding. The range goes on sale in EMEA markets from April. Find your local Royal Enfield dealership at royalenfield.com.

• Busted Knuckles Build Off (BKBO) to showcase creativity and bespoke design utilising the Shotgun 650 as a base motorcycle.

• Six Royal Enfield dealerships selected as BKBO finalists from more than 600 outlets across the EMEA region.

• Final builds to be revealed at the Bike Shed Moto Show in London, 22nd to 24th May, with a public vote and expert panel to decide the BKBO winner.

April 15th 2026 – Royal Enfield, the global leader in midsize motorcycles, are renowned for making the most custom friendly motorcycles in the world. To celebrate, the brand is pleased to return with season two of the ‘Busted Knuckles Build Off’ (BKBO) Europe, a motorcycle custom build competition exclusively designed for Royal Enfield dealers, allowing builders to showcase their creative engineering, bespoke design, and artistic expression – utilising the Royal Enfield Shotgun 650, a platform inspired by custom, for custom.

Following a near six month build process and utilising a £5000 customisation subsidy from Royal Enfield, six of Europe’s finest Royal Enfield dealers will take centre stage at the 2026 Bike Shed Show, London on 22nd – 24th May, to determine which European dealer has built the most coveted Shotgun 650.

Royal Enfield dealers across key European regions were invited to create a custom concept, with six finalists getting selected to develop their designs into a physical reality.

The successful concepts were submitted by the following dealers:

• Czech Republic: Vintage Garage Motors

• Germany: Motorrad Bläsing

• France: KS Motorcycles

• Italy: Royal Enfield Rivera

• Portugal: Unik Edition

• UK: Krazy Horse

Adrian Sellers, Head – Custom & Motorsport at Royal Enfield, commented

“It makes sense for the final display of Europe’s 2nd BKBO to take place at the Bike Shed Show, an event that focuses on celebrating creativity, craftsmanship and culture surrounding motorcycles. It is going to be a real privilege to see the finest work from Royal Enfield’s dealer network take centre stage across the event, showcasing each dealer’s unique imagination and skillset as they interpret the possibilities of the Shotgun 650.”

BKBO took place once before, with the custom builds displayed at Wheels and Waves in Biarritz in 2023. Motorrad Bläsing of Germany were crowned winners with owner and creator Thomas Bläsing’s ‘Beach Cruiser’, having built it in just 4 months for his own pleasure.

The final preview of all six 2026 BKBO entries will be released online shortly before the Bike Shed show, with each machine benefitting from their own ‘documentary style’ film, these will feature across Royal Enfield’s social media. The public vote can be cast online and in person throughout the show, where the bikes will be on display around the ‘Dockside bandstand’, at the spectacular Tobacco Dock venue. One winner will be selected by combining votes from the public, Royal Enfield and a panel of renowned custom motorcycle designers on Sunday 24th May, with the winner receiving an all expenses paid trip to Royal Enfield’s Motoverse later this year.

• The first official Royal Enfield Authorised Service Centre opened in Chichester at Mono Motorcycles on the 29th March.

• Royal Enfield is looking to open further Authorised Service Centres across the UK, in a strategic rollout focusing on providing owners with service options reached in a reasonable time and distance from home.

Royal Enfield, the world’s oldest motorcycle manufacturer in continuous production, has announced the opening of its first dedicated Authorised Service Centre (ASC) in the UK, with a dedicated bay for Royal Enfield customers.

Starting with the partnership with Mono Motorcycles in Chichester, further service centres are planned to open strategically across the UK, supporting areas with limited nearby official dealership presence. This new approach enables Royal Enfield owners easier access to authorised servicing, with the initiative representing a significant first for the brand, and a convenient option for owners.

Regular servicing & maintenance appointments, plus warranty and recall related jobs, can all be booked to take place at these authorised centres, ensuring riders do not have to travel far to receive the official Royal Enfield treatment. Genuine Royal Enfield Parts will be used, with certified technicians all trained on the Royal Enfield line-up.

Owners are highly recommended to follow the given service intervals, with brand-new Royal Enfield motorcycles requiring an initial service at 300 miles or 45 days, followed by platform-dependent service intervals. This is every 3,000 miles or 6 months on the 350cc J-Series platform, 6,000 miles or 1 year on the 450cc Sherpa, and 4,660 miles or one year on the 650cc twin platform.

The opening of these Authorised Service Centres is a convenient solution for all owners, providing them with expert advice by RE trained technicians, and a place to carry out periodical maintenance, plus warranty and recall jobs.

After-sales advice for Royal Enfield owners can be found here: Royal Enfield UK website.

Critically, this ensures that all owners can easily adhere to the recommended service intervals, which is essential for guaranteeing the safety, durability, and longevity of the motorcycle, and supporting residual value if ever looking to trade-in for a new Royal Enfield motorcycle.

George Cheeseman, Royal Enfield UK Country Manager, stated:

We are delighted to welcome Mono Motorcycles as our very first Authorised Service Centre. This initiative further demonstrates our commitment to Royal Enfield riders, making sure we provide accessible, quality service right across the country. With this first appointment, we now look forward to adding, strategically, additional Authorised Service Centres, in areas where our riders most need them.
