Are Royal Enfields a thing of the past?
Of course they are and that is the whole point. Would you get me on a Hero Honda? You wouldn`t get me on anything with the name HERO in it.
You do not say what motorcycle experience you have but I would suggest choosing a 350 Royal Enfield for 2 up touring around India was not the best choice. Especially if you have gear with you.
I have a 1996 Moto guzzi 1100i and like the Enfield you have to get your hands dirty occasionally. I also have a Yamaha FZ6 where you never have to get your hands dirty. They are like chalk and cheese and I would take the Guzzi anyday.
Veteran bikes may not be your cup of cha but don`t try and tell people that Enfield have had their day because like BSA, and Triumphs, they will be around a lot longer than the Honda Hero.
Maybe it was not the bike that was at fault, maybe you just chose the wrong bike. Possiblt a BMW GS would have suited your requirements more.
