Now see how the Royal Enfield 650 Twins are selling and hear my special message to RE's CEO kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d5OSaLmLqLjaiIE.html.

You should also ask why BMW AND MERCEDES-BENZ are three times more expensive in India lol

Best time I ever had in India when ride a royal Enfield, dream come true.

Are u father of pewdiepie?

So the blue shirt guy is saying the iPhones in India are more expensive than US because the parts in the phones used in India are higher grade ?🤔

All those tiny differences don't justify the price being 3x more (exhaust, fuel cap,swing arm). Maybe taxes are the answer !!!

3:26 karl bhai we do have side stand sensor do try to ride a 2 wheeler in india while keeping the side stand as it is ,you will get to listen from every individual in india that "bhai stand lga hua hai, hta lo" thats why there is no need

Trust me, Any RE dealer in India won't have atleast 10% of his knowledge. All they ask is "can we book it today?"

Dude your pronunciation of Hindi is so close to indian. I’m loving it. Raam Raam from Toronto 🙏

राम- राम सुनकर मज़ा आ गया, यहां साला लाख लड़ो-मरो पर किसी विदेशी धरती पर भारत की ज़रा बात सुकून देती है,... राम-राम सबको🙏🙏🙏💐💐💐💐

We have BS-4 ... Equivalent of Euro 4 there ... And yet it won't cost thrice as much .... We are also moving to BS-6 directly by 2022 ..

00:02 "Karl rock Scammer of scammers" I just noticed it..😂😂

What!! I work at Enfield (India) and I can assure you all the bikes manufactured are the same. Rarely some minor adjustments are made to fit the country's requirement - nothing significant. RE's are expensive in western countries due to auto duties, just like Harley and Vulcan bikes in India. Everything pretty much is exported from Chennai.

''ram ram Chris" OMG, I lost it

Dukandar: Karl bhai royal enfield lelo, maja avega. Karl: nahi chahiye ji

Ram ram was so good to hear😍💯🙏❤️ jai hind

മലയാളീസ് ആരും ഇല്ലേ

Wah...what a starting of video..ram ram karl..

India has BS 4 which is equivalent to EU 4

All the differences mentioned do not add up to 3x the price. ;)

Three times the price for a fuel cap... I'm pretty sure we're just paying the foreigner tax.

It's just like why harlyey davidson is expensive in India rather than USA.. Why iPhone cheaper in USA not in the UK India.. Its all about economy NZ should reduce excise duty on Royal Enfield bikes of india

I think those design differences are very minor compared to the cost difference, companies just price their products different depending on the market and how much they can get away with charging. One notorious example is textbooks, where in a western country like NZ the book would be $100 + , but the Indian edition would be a fraction of the cost. Even digital products where the marginal cost is basically zero (such as video games etc), are charged at widely different prices in different markets.

The changes he pointed out are mostly universal for the Euro5 and BS6 (new Indian emission standard) models. They also include a rear disc brake and ABS. Yes export models have small differences, but that doesn’t account for the significant cost difference overseas. The new 650 Interceptor is the same in every country save for very insignificant differences like turn signal shape or sari guards. It’s $5800 in the US and $3500 in India. The Indian market also has a few more basic domestic models (usually 350cc) that are meant to be very affordable for the home market and aren’t like the more expensive models that are exported as well as sold domestically. BS6 is changing much of that now and I don’t know if those models will still be available by a “grandfather” standard, forced to be updated, or discontinued. Motorcycles have to be affordable in India because of how many are sold every year and the median annual income is about $3200. Import taxes are very high so more and more motorcycle companies are manufacturing in India to save cost for that market and then also export those models. The KTM 390 and BMW 310 are examples. That still doesn’t explain why once in the US and Europe the prices jump significantly. The truth is that because of their low production cost they can mark up the price and still be significantly less expensive than Japanese and European motorcycles. Import taxes are also part of the price increase. That said, I can’t really complain about the price of the new 650 for what you’re getting, especially compared to everything else on the market that is significantly more expensive. The Bullet/Classic 500’s are a bit overpriced but they are getting another significant redesign and that’s why they’re not available currently overseas.

Opening dialogue Ram Ram Chris won my heart..

Loved the turban speedlimit 😁. Beautiful bikes!

Ram ram bhai ..ke hal chal hai

Oh..Come On Dude. He is Plainly & Shamelessly lying. I bought my Thunderbird in 2013 & it has all the feature you are mentioning in 2018. Even the Side stand sensor was there. Whats wrong with you guys. Bikes are expensive because customer at overseas location can pay for it. Royal Enfield just milking the Overseas cows.

piwdiepie says ram ram ki halchal 😂🙏👍 I love ur unbiased scam contents on my country ..love from India ... thx for making it a good place 👍👍

Here in states of North India... Himachal *Punjab* Haryana (some parts) Bullet is a style statement... And is pronounced as *'Bult'* (Especially in Punjab and Himachal). And one of my friends has one... We ride it daily... *Dugg Doog Dugg!!* 😁👌👍

This is my father's favourite bike

First of all on quality i want to clear 1. They have side stand alarm here in india as well my thunderbird has it 2. They have that metal bar mentioned near chain, here in india too 3. They have refueling lock same in india now on the newer models 4. Plus they have BS4 standards same as Euro4 Cost may be due to duties and transportation

It does not justify 3x times higher prices,it's just to get more money out of western countries higher budgets. The customers in the west will buy those ,and don't complain too much since they are relatively cheap compared to what they already have. It's the same about Dacia car brand.

And another reason for the "difference" in price is the bla bla bla........ no mention of taxes & the middle men in the market....

We are feeling really proud that Royal Enfield (Indian Byk manufacturing company) have a very good market in foreign country, I have Royal Enfield classic 350. Proud to be an Indian, proud to be a Royal Enfield owner. Thank you sir for making this video.

Very informative, thank you! Having recently bought a battle green Classic 500 in the US, it is interesting to see how the markets differ and require adjustments to the configurations of the bikes. The actual details don't seem to add up to the price differences but if buyers are willing to pay the premium for minimal equipment "upgrades", then that is what will happen. The market will dictate pricing and these bikes fit a lot of needs across the spectrum. It is my "novelty bike", being set up to look like a WWII Army courier bike, and not intending to do any serious long distance riding. The highway speeds here are just too high for it. That's where my BMW R1200RT really shines. Suit the bike to the mission. I do find the RE puts a grin on my face every time I ride it!

Its just same as iPhone and Harley Davidson is cheaper in USA compare to India ,, which is called as Tariff war, Trade war, Custom duty to save local brands.

Manufactured in Chennai,India.You should visit their plant in Chennai and do a video on that. The have a test track too.

Love from KERALA 😗😘😘😘😍

Don't misguide about emission norms. We have BS-IV its equal to E-IV

Try the Royal Enfield interceptor 650 you'll get addicted to that one ! 🖤

Is that guy even working for Royal Enfield? It's all the same in India... Only thing different is battle green is not there in India as that Colour is used by Indian army...the new swing arm ur saying... I have this on my bike from past 4 years in India... Also had the side stand warning 4 years earlier in India.. Don just think u guys have superior things... We get the same thing....This sales representative does not have any knowledge... The main reason for more cost is the export duty as this is shipped from India and the tyres r not Pirelli or Michellins...Siddharth are you even listening? This guy s talking rubbish

Ram Ram sir...love frm india😚

I am Italian, I have had many motorbikes of many types I have ridden an R.E. bullet from delhi to himalaya and kashmir for 10 whole days, 16 hours a day on ... very reliable bike, easy to repair and with components that have resisted days and days of holes, water, earth, dust ... they have me amazed, even their original tires (old ones) have a sturdiness higher than those of our standards.

I subscribed the channel the moment I heard "0:16 Ram Ram Chris k hal chal"😁😁 ✌✌

I can't wait for the new 650 twin engine bikes🖤🖤

india has upgarded its emission standards to BS-1V which similar to euro 4

ram ram?? 🤗 feels great to heard ram ram from a foreigner..

Its cost higher because of imports and exports taxes and also of carrying charges.

Karl rock I love ur channel because you describe India's beauty or real india 😘😘🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

Few different things made it costly? Like seriously? Swing arm and foot pegs And also a better grade of metals used. Tax ki mara maari hai isse jyada toh

My dad had a RE 1959 model. It was always having issues, me and my dad worked cleaning carburetor, spark plugs, battery issues, i even replaced piston rings, chain adjustment...oh boy you name it, there will be some issue. But yet, he loved that bike. He sold it couple of months back before he passed away in 2018. Not sure the new redesigned RE fixed those issues.

Another KZfaqr who moved to India has a Royal Enfield...nice bikes...good video

BS-IV (equivalent of Euro 4) emission norms have been mandatory in India since 2017. I guess the price tag would have much more to do with the taxes on both sides, than the actual mods necessary on vehicle for regulatory compliance.

Love your passion for old school motorcycles, Karl - I ride an XJR, but under different circumstances would have been riding an army coloured Bullet 500 👍🏽

I am proud to be a Indian.Jai hind Jai Bharat.

Because per capita income of countries like yours are 30 times or more higher than that of India

I have a BS4 compliant Classic 500 and it has the side stand sensor. And the REs coming out now has ABS and a few other changes and there is not a huge hike in prices. Definitely no three-fold increase. I think the biggest reason for the increased price must be import taxes and other such charges.

When I'm thinking about a Royal Enfield I'm thinking rifle not a motorcycle.

Karl Rock : ram ram The store owner : ram ram Me : what the 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️

Ram ram chrish ,😍😍 Sentence of INDIA ......Ty brother

Awsome video and ram ram ji

You are a good person Ram Ram from India

When you said RAM RAM, I got the vibe of my hometown.

Nice video mate. It was a very informative video. Not only it gave us info about the Indian Bike overseas but also gave us some info about certain regulations in NZ 👍🏽

Euro 4 and now in india BS6 is implemented by gov of india so price is increased second one is taxation.

Lots of love for you and for this channel. -From India

Man, I agree with shipping costs and documentation costs that you have to pay overseas. Not sure about superior paint quality abroad. But others points mentioned in the video are pointless except the military green colour. The swing arms, foot pegs, silencer etc. are same here as well.

Have you guys notice that their voices raised after they stop the RE engine

They call them "Royal " Karl. I think that's why! Smiles.

Love when yoy say ram ram....nuce video bro

I AM FROM INDIA,PUNJAB🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

The guy is not entirely correct, I bet. Here we have bs4 standard which is equivalent to euro4. From 1.4.2020 we will have bs6 in force, equivalent to euro6. I am sure 3 factors are contributing to this huge difference in price. 1. Import duty by the local govt. 2. Slight improvement in quality in line with local norms like lower sound level 3. Greed of the company makes them to believe that they can sell the product at that insane price.

Plz come to Dehradun ❣️ Uttarakhand

Correction: euro4 is active in India for years now! Absolutely mandatory since March last years. I don't think there is any difference in materials used, surely the quality check must be tighter .

In my home town. Royal Enfield failed to support the Dealer with needed replacement parts. And they failed to advertis , most people didn't know Royal Enfield was in production much less available for sale. I needed a new speedo drive gear , it had split on the bottom side from the end plug back. The new part was also split in the same location. We looked at all the new bikes in the store several also had broken drive gear housing. It required several attempts to get a good one. After a couple years of frustration the Dealer sent everything he had back to Royal Enfield's distribution center. So now I have a bike with no dealer support. I have owned and repaired motorcycles since 1964 and worked in a motorcycle dealer ship. So it is not a big problem for me. Most people didn't know Royal Enfield was in production much less available for sale. No advertising.

"Good to MEET you Chris" "Yeah, good to see you again, welcome back". Lol

In India these bikes are now also required to have tht "catalytic converter" and now if u change the silencer you have to pay hefty price and that is in India But indians being indian we dont care bout these rules

Even Maruti Suzuki India sells third class unsafe cars to Indian market in India. Abroad they sell better, stronger vehicles which are more safe. Royal Enfield sells third class bikes with substandard quality only here in India. Outside.. the quality of the bikes are far better than what is sold in India. Nobody asks. Hence all this.

Dude he's just making up stories. It's all the same quality.

that ram ram was just so satisfying . supercool feeling

Basically, 1. Royal Enfield knows they can set the price of their motorcycle to match competing manufacturers in the international market. Indians would not pay that much for an Enfield. 2. There is better quality control on bikes that are shipped oversees. 3. International Shipping/dealer costs are higher 4. Retro bikes are in style at the moment and people want a fun easy motorcycle to ride. 5. Other than that, Royal Enfields are priced about 2.5x more in the U.S. than they are in India. Bummer cause I would buy one if I didn’t know the real price in India.

2:21 we have BS-4 Mate...that's hardly any different....

You wished him ram ram , kya hal chal. It's awesome bro.

Ram Ram Chris.... Wow. You guys are great.

Ram ram !! That intro yeah 😀

ram ram nd awesome video

What you pay is what you get. simple. People in India need to pay more to get that extra safety and better quality. In low price you can't buy everything. Good going RE. Although i still love my 1977 models they are made like a tank, any-day they beat new bullets

❤️❤️❤️ from Himachal Pradesh ( India ) bro

Being a RE rider from India . Every changes he mentioned in the bike just down grades the bike. It dosent make any sence 🤔

Ram Ram Bhai 🖤🖤🖤

That paint job on the bullet 500!!! We don't get that here!!!! That looks BLOODY AWESOME!!!

Hyy bro... RAM RAM from INDIA..🙏🙏❤

I don't think that there are that many modifications made to the standard kit to make them 3 times more expensive tbh. Of course, export quality definitely means better quality in most industries. That and all the local expenses add up I guess but RE knows that their bikes are a sweet spot between the tiny ones and the big guns and that many are willing to pay the asking price. Simple!

oye....kya hal chal😉

I m from NZ and have visited this place after seeing the prices of all the models of RE I have ordered mine from India far more cheaper fitted with all the accessories fitted. It will take around 3 months but the wait is ok than pay thrice the price. Karl is ripp off

The differences that you mentioned, at the manufacturers level, might add a $50 or $60 dollars to the cost but certainly wouldn’t result in an end product that costs two or three times as much. For instance once you’ve established a production line on a square tube swing arm compared to a round one, the difference is literally pennies if anything at all. Same thing with a different gas cap or even better quality paint. I suspect the price difference has more to do with import tariffs and most importantly, the price of the competition. There’s even a good price difference between a US bike and a Canadian bike, more so than just the duty and exchange would warrant. They are both export market machines so should have the same quality enhancements

Ram...Ram sir

I got my 650 chrome interceptor 🤘🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Very happy to know that an Indian product is expensive overseas.
