Royal Enfield Plans for First-Time Buyer Program

Royal Enfield North America is mulling options to establish a first-time buyer program, which could include a revolving credit partnership, said Vice President of Sales Mike Roark.

“I think the price-point of our product, what makes sense is being able to do something on a credit card,” Roark told Powersports Finance. The average Royal Enfield motorcycle is between $5,000 and $10,000.

“People go out and they spend that much money on a couch,” he said. “So to me, that makes a lot of sense — the first-time buyer program, and partnering with somebody who can underwrite it on a credit card. I think we obviously would talk with anybody about it.”

Many companies are focusing on the first-time buyer, Roark said. KTM North America, for example, is making a point to focus on millennials this year.

With some of KTM North America’s “entry-level products,” such as racing motorcycles and lower-cost off-road vehicles, focusing on millennial buyers could be a profitable opportunity, KTM’s President Jon-Erik Burleson told Powersports Finance in November.

“You see a lot of companies do it, because it gets young people into the market,” Roark said. “Maybe their barrier to come into the sport is, ‘I have no idea, can I even get financed?’”

Milwaukee, Wis.-based Royal Enfield currently employs a staff of 20, and it has 36 dealers in its network.

KTM 390 Duke’s engine in a Royal Enfield Himalayan

One crazy petrol head has created this even crazier fusion of Royal Enfield and KTM. This is a Royal Enfield Himalayan that, instead of its stock carburetor motor, now draws power from a KTM 390 Duke’s engine. This fusion has been talked about on several online channels so here the images are.

It’s not just the engine that this Himalayan borrows from the Indo-Austrian pocket rocket. The stock multi-function display (with a compass) from India’s first home brewed adventure tourer has been replaced by the all digital unit from the KTM. The switchgear and LED turn indicators too have been borrowed from KTM. The after-market, massive rear sprocket would chop off some top speed.
