\"ROYAL<\/p>\n

Once a steam locomotive driver mentioned that he perceives the steam engine as being \u2018alive\u2019 almost like a living\/breathing organism.  The same applies with a heavy crank bully. Reason!!, The job of frequent maintenance, clutch setting prior kick start, winter ignition difficulty, oil leakage and many such fury brought an invisible strong  attachment\/bonding with these old machines. Royal Enfield history<\/span><\/p>\n

Ever wondered why the old geezer avoid his hands on new machine and young chap finds difficult to handle old ones. Here are few elementary reasons why these two generations dodge each other when it relates to superiority. While there are abundant information available providing details of technical differences between the two machines, it will be interesting to study the two generation\u2019s mindset and affection towards their motorcycle. Let\u2019s understand the legacy of two eras. Royal Enfield history<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Royal<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
 <\/strong><\/td>\nOld Titans<\/strong><\/td>\nNew Nimble<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Period<\/td>\nUpto 2006<\/td>\nFrom 2008 onwards<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Pride<\/td>\nCarries immense pride when it comes to vintage substance.<\/td>\nBearing glory of past combined with urban fringe.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Handling<\/td>\nThe orthodox left brake pedal and right gear shift is not a kid\u2019s job.<\/td>\nWhy to torture ourselves when there is an easy way out.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Heartbeat<\/td>\nThe sweet, slow and steady Dug Dug Dug Dug cannot beat Vroooom\u2026. rattle.<\/td>\nLet\u2019s go for a long ride. Min speed 80 KMPH no max limit.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Mechanics<\/td>\nSpecialized doctors who dares to open its heart frequently.<\/td>\nCan be cured by any average, anywhere anytime.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Kick start<\/td>\nIt\u2019s an Art. Also called kick start the heart.<\/td>\nIt\u2019s a second name of compulsion. Waiting for a bio-metric  voice starter kit now.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Competition<\/td>\nWithin itself. All grandfathers of its era are dead.<\/td>\nGot a new life in last decade. Younger, smarter, swifter are ready to compete with new rivals.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Sunday morning<\/td>\nThat\u2019s the way to spend with hands full of oil @ grease.<\/td>\nHave no time to mess with. Better go for a ride.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Mono vs Dolby Digital<\/td>\nThe X factor. I am Offbeat and stands exclusively in the throng.<\/td>\nIts an iron rust. Where are the basics? Self start, digital odometer & speedometer, LEDs, Fuel gauge, disk brakes.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

And the debate continues…. for ever.<\/p>\n

The ancients will never accept their machines are bygone with a long list of limitations. Where as young riders will never fathom the old school culture of spending whole day with mechanics and fellow pride owners. The modern age Royal Enfields are mere companion\u2019s up to parking area. (of course there are exceptions too).<\/span><\/p>\n

However one cannot ignore third and fourth generation Royal Enfields like Himalayan, Continental GT, Interceptor and Thinderbird X. They are quicker, quieter, reliable, refined, safer, economical, environmental friendly and load low maintenance.<\/p>\n

Old bullets blazes a triumphant route through ages. On the other hand the novel models are bringing fresh breeze promising amongst youngsters to sustain in coming years.<\/p>\n
