In this showroom, Royal Enfield deals with pre-owned, refurbished and restored bikes. Refurbished bikes are those which are not that old but were found with manufacturing defects. Such bikes have been repaired by the manufacturer themselves before selling.
Restored bikes include the old RE bikes from the 80s and 90s. Refurbished bikes includes ones which are merely 6-7 years old.
