They still consider Royal Enfield a British motorcycle? Produced by a British motorcycle manufacturer? I've been telling people it is an Indian motorcycle from India. Mmm.

WELL ...... The Himma was designed in England at RE's new centre of design and excellence in Coventry ... In fact the RE Himma is more British than the Triumph brand these days ,,,, lol

Royal Enfield has been imported into South Korea for at least 10 years that I know of. I know the previous importer, and have sent a bunch of parts for Iron Barrel 500 Bullets into South Korea.

Apparently what they are trying to do is announce the "new" distribution system there, just like they did in the US and UK, and probably elsewhere.
I will refrain from comment about what I think about the changes.

Well, I did think it a bit odd that they wouldn't have been selling in South Korea already. Thank you for clarifying that Ace.
