2010 Royal Enfield - how to import from india
 

Hi All

Please guide me import Royal Enfield 2010 to Melbourne. Any links / suggestions will be highly appreciated
Thanks

Is this permanent import, or just for travelling?

Being bored at work I did a quick search online ...

For permanent import a good place to start would be HERE, because it's under 25 years old it doesn't count as a classic so if you're not confident the best route would be finding an agent who deals with vehicle imports to help you get the paperwork in order. I couldn't find anything clear regarding if an Indian market bike from 2010 would be eligible to import or not.

If it's for under a year then a CPD Carnet is required, apparently, which covers the bike for up to a year.

Looking at the list prices on Royal Enfield Australia's website, between shipping and import duties you'd almost certainly be worse off importing a 2010 from India than buying new in a Melbourne showroom!

Yeah, but new Royal Enfields don't have the same charm* of the Bullets from 2010.

*Charm means breaking down every 5 minutes

I have a 1965 Royal Enfield, 530cc with just 160 km on the clock which I imported approximately 20 years ago. It was restored by Maddan Motors in New Delhi to my order. It has electronic ignition which makes life easy.

I would sell it quite cheaply if you are interested. I am in Melbourne.
