My issue with Royal Enfield is poor backup from my dealer I've just had new headstock bearings and a gear indicator switch fitted. I've had to wait 2 months for...

Re: The Royal Enfield Himalayan ,great value.

The ferodo sintered pads have made a good improvement. As you’d expect they don’t transform them into the most amazing brakes but they make a big enough difference that you no longer think the brakes aren’t great so I’m very happy with that. The Oxford heated grips are a surprise, I didn’t expect t...
