CHENNAI -- Citing the steep increase in the raw material costs, two-wheeler manufacturer Royal Enfield on Monday said that it has decided to increase the price of some of its existing models -- in India. The increase is noteworthy but the resulting price would still strike most Americans as a tremendous bargain.
The Royal Enfield Bullet costs far less in India than in export markets. The difference reflects the difficulty and expense of certifying motorcycles to meet foreign standards. These added costs must then be borne by the very small numbers (relatively) being exported to each country.
The company's three popular models in India -- Standard 350, Machismo 350 and Machismo 500 would cost more from Sept. 1, a company release said. The Standard goes from 69,354 rupees to 71,270 rupees.
Converted to dollars, that would be an increase from $1,589.78 to $1,633.70. The price of the Machismo 500, probably closer to the Bullet we get in the U.S., is expected to increase from Rs 99,891 to Rs 102,062. That is from $2,289.77 to $2,339.53.
Classic Motorworks says the "starting" price of a Bullet Classic 500 in the United States is $5,349.
