Buying a Royal Enfield in Deli
This information is provided by Phillipa, who runs organised Enfield tours through India (www.saffronroad.com).
I met Phillipa in the Himalayas (2009) when she was on tour and she is very experienced with India, Enfields and traveling (she still writes columns for travel publications)
"My personal recommendation for where to purchase a reliable Enfield from a reliable and honest source:
Lalli Singh, Inder Motors
Hari Singh Nalwa Street, off Abdul Aziz Road,
(super honest guy who employs great mechanics)
He is also a Recommended Mechanic, see his contact details here.
Failing that (equally well-maintained bikes, but you need to watch the negotiations):
Soni Motors
also in Karol Bagh (in the parallel ally way off Abdul Aziz Road)
Ph: +91 (11) 5154 8958.
Pawan Soni, who owns Soni Motors (and used to work for Lalli) is a lovely guy, but his son, Sunny is a typical young Delhi-ite; more interested in wheeling and dealing than getting on with running an honest business.
Having said that, both businesses can arrange international shipping if somebody wants to take their bike back home. I bought my bike from Soni and had it shipped to NZ. To his credit, Sunny organised everything (shipping, insurance, customs clearances etc), but I had to keep putting a bomb under him.">>Top
