First-round sales of Royal Enfield’s 120th Anniversary 650 Twins began in India in December 2021, and the enormously favorable response from customers was devastatingly quick. One hundred and twenty of the commemorative 120th Anniversary Twins were made available for purchase, with sixty of each model being offered in the Continental GT and INT lines.
Despite the fact that Enfield had other markets in mind for the debut of its special, pretty narrow tribute to its first 120 years of existence, the 120th Anniversary Twins were introduced to the world in India. How did things turn out? In less than two minutes, every single one of those bicycles was purchased.
After that, we would move on to the next three global regions, which are Europe, the Americas, and Asia-Pacific. In April of 2022, the situation in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) area was astonishingly similar to the one described above.
There are reports that all 120 bicycles were purchased within twenty-four hours or less in the countries of Australia, Japan, Thailand, South Korea, and the Philippines. For those of us living in North America, one question remained unanswered: when exactly would the 120th Anniversary Twins arrive on our territory?
As of the 10th of August in 2022, the duration of the wait is almost at an end. If you live in the United States and have been waiting, either patiently or impatiently, to find out when we would finally get these, the answer is a resounding SOON.
Only 30 copies of each of the 120th Anniversary Twins will be made available for purchase in the United States. This includes thirty 120th Anniversary Continental GTs as well as thirty 120th Anniversary INT 650s.
The magnificent brass badges were designed by Royal Enfield in conjunction with the Sirpi Senthil family, who are a family-run business in Kumbakonam, Tamil Nadu, India, that has been producing high-quality artisanal goods for several generations and are known for their expertise in this industry.
Their unparalleled brasswork has been shown in Indian temples for quite some time, but this cooperation with Enfield marks the very first time that the family’s work has been featured in the car industry.
In addition, the 120th Anniversary Twins will have unique, hand-crafted details, such as hand-painted pinstriping, exclusive serial numbers that will identify each motorcycle for legacy, and Enfield’s special black chrome tank.
These details will be included on the motorcycles to commemorate the anniversary. The tanks, on the other hand, are chromed in Enfield’s original plant from the 1950s, which is located in Thiruvottiyur, Chennai, India. This adds a very elegant finishing touch to these very rare jubilee motorcycles.
When can we expect to be able to purchase these in the United States? As of the 10th of August in the year 2022, Royal Enfield North America has stated that the official date will be “quickly as possible.”
