If the importer and Tiger Motors can resurrect the planned arrangement we can expect to see the bikes marketed at the lower prices..

The Thai Royal Enfield distributor and Tiger Motor Co. Ltd never have had a planned arrangement? The only arrangement they had was that they rented a shared booth location for the Bangkok Motorbike Festval.

Sorry News but you wrong here. 350 Classic is 55193baht equivelant in India on the road. 500 Classic is 70306baht equivelant. I Indian and know what price is here. Also, according to RE marketing, RE distributor in Thailand did have agreement for Tiger to assemble RE bikes. I suggest you phone Khun Phariya at Tiger who will put you straight on these matter. Unfortunately you get your facts wrong. Tiger also had agreement with LML to assemble their Scooters but nothing started yet
Kind regards from Sanjay.

Dear Sir,

Sorry if I not go into a discussion of what the price of a Royal Enfield motorcycle is in India, our source is Royal Enfield HQ and it's possible that they send us some sort of suggested retail prices for India. Also we know that motorcycle prices in India can different according to the state you buy them, and in the end a 70,000 THB or 90,000 THB doesn't make much difference anyway.

Personally, if anybody wants to try to import a Royal Enfield Classic 500 by himself, he is more than welcome to do so. And if the sales price in India is 70,306 THB you still end up with 231,000 THB imported in Thailand And this 231,000 THB is without without registration and environmental testing which probably will cost another 100,000 THB. So maybe it's not so good idea to import one by yourself...

If you have information on how to do it cheaper please share the information, I'm sure that many people love to hear about that.

Theocratically it seems easy, at least on paper, you import completely knocked down (CKD) motorcycles and assemble them in Thailand so you not have to pay to much customs duty; excise duty and other taxes. But when you try to get all the needed documents and licenses things are getting difficult.

Talking about the facts, are you sure that Tiger Motor Co. Ltd would assemble LML scooters, was it not Millennium Motor Co. Ltd, or one of the other companies registered on the same address as Tiger Motor Co. Ltd? I'm sure that the owner of Tiger Motor Co. Ltd is an intelligent and wise business person, manufacturing your own brand motorcycles, produced from raw materials and partly from imported parts, plus assembling motorcycles for 3rd parties from imported parts or CKD in one company is probably the perfect script for a TAX paying horror movie with many sleepless nights...

Will Royal Enfield motorcycles be assembled in Thailand, who knows, only time can tell. For now the Royal Enfield Classic 500 is only 8.4% more expensive than you would pay for the same motorcycle in England.

So are these prices now confirmed or just rumours? Is the dealership now officially open for business? Is it possible to turn up and drive away with an enfield.....or are we still speculating?

I have got my Classic 500 it's amazing the ride is much smoother than expected. Still not have plates, but was told that takes some time

I will buy into the ride is like a wave and that the top speed may be like a wave (I did 130 kph true speed GPS down a long straight hill but 110 kph is more like it every day)

But wto say it get the same fuel milage KPL I just dont buy into. The wave is rated at 63 kpl I average 65 at 100 kilos but my small wife gets 78 kpl and less than half my weight and slower speed she drives.

I have heard of no one getting much over 20 KPL (50 MPG) with this bike

Hi Troy,

Are you in Thailand or in India?

regards, Marcel

Has anyone heard anything more about the Enfield availability?

I have emailed the distributor - no luck. I have phoned - no answer.

Is the situation really about to change?

Or is it time to give up on RE in Thailand.

What are the alternatives?? Anyone have any experience w the Stallion Centaur Classic? Looks nice but very small....Any other suggestions?

For a long time we received no information regarding Royal Enfield in Thailand, also we did not see Royal Enfield at any of the recent Thai motor shows. So it seems that we have to wait until somebody else picks up the distribution for Thailand.
