The chrome and custom colour options of the Royal Enfield 650 Twins are in high demand, as revealed by RE dealerships that IAB spoke to in Mumbai.

According to the dealers that we got in touch, the waiting period is three months for all the models of the Royal Enfield 650 Twins. However, the Chrome & Custom models have garnered more bookings. Dealerships have further revealed that if the bikes are booked now, they can be delivered by the end of February or early March 2019.
