    Pre Valentines Day, Post V-Twin Show Thursday News is Smoking Hott Hey, Here’s Doc Robinson’s report on the Easyriders V-Twin show for Cincinnati 2014: The V-Twin Expo is shrinking and dying. That is an opinion I have heard expressed a number of times by people in the industry in the weeks leading up to this event. Well, as Mark Twain once said, “Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated” and that certainly applies to this event. Why? Well take the fact that out of 187 vendors, a whopping 40 were there for the first time! Click to Read  

Back from last weekend’s V-Twin Expo, we spoke briefly with Samson’s Kenny Price and here’s what he had to say: “This year at the V Twin Expo proved again to be a great place to cement business ties with our customers and industry friends alike.” Advertisement

I stumbled on this pro-shot panhead the other day. I don’t know anything about its owner but the bike really talks to me. First, it has the right stance, and as we all know, it’s more than half the battle. It also appears to use many home-made components and has a nice level of patina. I also like the fact that it must be somewhat rideable, as it’s equipped with both front and rear brakes. Never miss another post, click on the banner to subscribe to our daily email.

In a recent move to reposition the brand, Royal Enfield has dropped its retail pricing dramatically. With increasing global demand and a new state-of-the-art factory, Royal Enfield has set its sights on becoming a worldwide leader in the growing midsize motorcycle market. (250cc-750cc) Siddartha Lal, the CEO and owner of Royal Enfield, kicked off the campaign by setting the tone immediately with the MSRP of the new 535cc Continental GT Café racer at only $5,999, much lower than industry observers expected. Kevin Mahoney, the CEO of Classic Motorworks (the exclusive US importer of Royal Enfield), stated lowering the MSRP prices on the rest of the product line naturally followed suit from Siddartha Lal’s vision for the GT and the brand positioning overall. “We have always been a unique high value brand. Our high volumes (over 250,000 units will be sold globally in 2014) and increased efficiency allow us to make this aggressive move. We have lowered the MSRP on some of our products by almost $1,400. The suggested retail price range of the product line now starts at $4,999 and tops out at $5,999 for the new 535cc Continental GT.  This effort in repositioning Royal Enfield as a brand will not only put more bikes on the road, but simultaneously gain more of the market share here in the U.S. We are thinking long-term with this move and feel the timing and the opportunity to grow even more will ensure success for Royal Enfield in the U.S.” With an ever growing dealer network be sure check our dealer locater to find an Authorized Dealer nearest you.
