Motorcycle Trip in India or around the globe on a Royal Enfield

Vintage Rides was established in India in 2006, born from a passion for travel and the iconic Royal Enfield motorcycles. Embarking on a motorcycle road trip in India was a revelation for Alexandre Zurcher, founder of Vintage Rides. “Arriving in India at the age of 19, I toured the country on a Royal Enfield and it lit a spark in my soul. I was given a taste of adventure and I knew I had to share these incredible travel experiences with the world.” Since then Vintage Rides has expanded well beyond the borders of India, but our motorcycle tour agency has remained faithful and deeply committed to the values embodied by the Royal Enfield brand. Every year we offer riders from all over the world the opportunity to explore new horizons, just as our founder did years ago, by developing unique new motorcycle trip offerings in amazing destinations across the globe. Our focus is simple: to saddle up on our Royal Enfields and explore the whole world by motorcycle. In pursuit of this goal, we offer both on-road and off-road tours in some of the most beautiful, exotic, and remote regions on earth. No matter what your perfect adventure entails – long days hitting the trails or long afternoons on the beach, beginner or advanced, solo or two-up – we have a carefully curated range of experiences to suit every rider. Our concept mirrors that of Royal Enfield: to create an exciting range of motorcycles so that every rider can find their perfect match and experience the exhilaration of the road.

The Ultimate Motorcycle Trip with Vintage Rides

When thinking about the ideal motorcycle trip vehicles, there was never any question that Royal Enfield would be the official motorcycle of Vintage Rides. As the oldest global motorcycle company in continuous production, Royal Enfield beautifully merges their rich vintage character with sleek modern performance. Originally founded in the United Kingdom, Royal Enfield has evolved to become emblematic of India. From the legendary Bullet and the newly reintroduced Interceptor to the nimble dual-purpose Himalayan, Royal Enfield remains dedicated to developing the perfect range of models to perfectly suit your adventure motorcycle trip. After working towards the same goals for so many years, Vintage Rides and Royal Enfield have finally joined forces as Official Travel Partners to promote incredible motorcycle trips around the world. You will find the Vintage Rides crew working side-by-side with Royal Enfield at motorcycle events, rallies, workshops and dealer events on multiple continents. We also co-produce short films each year, each highlighting a new motorbike road trip destination with stunning cinematography and deep insight into the passion that drives our partnership. Vintage Rides currently offers motorcycle road trips on three different Royal Enfield models: The Bullet 500 Standard, the new Classic 350, or the dual-purpose Himalayan trail bike.

Why Royal Enfield is the ideal choice for your Motorbike Road Trip

Vintage character and timeless beauty

Royal Enfield is the oldest continuously manufactured motorcycle brand in the world. Its classic models are distinguished by their unmistakable post-war design. The brand’s most iconic bike has to be the Bullet 500, built with an eye towards clean, classic retro aesthetics and unrivaled character. Tank, headlight, colors, saddle: every detail gives it incredible charm and a personality all its own. Both rustic and elegant, this legendary machine seduces the ear with its characteristic engine note and entices with elegantly flowing lines. From the Classics to the Adventure range, from the Bullet to the Himalayan, the timeless charm of the Royal Enfield cannot be denied and it’s only one small part of what makes these motorcycles the ideal choice for a motorcycle trip.

Engineered for excitement, designed for comfort

When you get on a Royal Enfield for the first time and feel the purr of its famous single-cylinder engine, you immediately become addicted to its charming character and confidence-inspiring operation. You’ll be amazed at how quickly you become one with the machine. The low center of gravity results in surprisingly stable handling regardless of the terrain, which means greater flexibility and a more relaxed ride regardless of the model. Regardless of your destination, you can head out on your motorcycle road trip with the confidence of knowing that your machine is ready for any challenges that may come your way. This means you can devote your time and energy to taking in the landscapes, meeting new people, and immersing yourself in the adventure of your motorcycle trip. This is the Royal Enfield state of mind: Making freedom, fun and simplicity accessible to all. And one more added benefit for our younger riders: You can travel on a Royal Enfield motorcycle with your A2 license!

Built for adventure

Initially used by the army, the Royal Enfield had to be both light and robust. Raw power was less critical than the ability to endure thousands of kilometers of rugged trails without skipping a beat. Its legendary torque allows the Royal Enfield to conquer even the rockiest tracks with ease, and it was designed to be easily repairable on the battlefield and beyond. All of these factors come together to create a sturdy little machine that is ideal for a motorcycle trip in your own backyard or all around the world. Royal Enfield has proven itself on the highest Himalayan passes, African tracks and in the Andes, and continues to prove itself everyday on Vintage Rides motorcycle road trips all across the globe. Our ultimate goal is to create incredible adventure motorcycle trip opportunities that you won’t find anywhere else, in exceptional off-the-beaten-path destinations all around the world, and help you build incredible memories to last a lifetime. Vintage Rides and Royal Enfield invite you to join us, and awaken the adventurer within you.
