All 47 Royal Enfield colors for 2026

What is your favorite Royal Enfield color?

 It's daunting to even list every model of Royal Enfield motorcycle, much less the number of colors in which they're available. 

Royal Enfield's U.S. website currently lists 15 different models, only two of which are available in only one color. I count 47 possible model/color combinations! 

(SCROLL DOWN TO SEE ALL 47) 

I think, though, that it is safe to name every human being's favorite motorcycle color. 

That would be CHROME. 

So the only fair question isn't "what is your favorite Royal Enfield color?" The question is what other colors besides chrome do you like? 

If, like me, you were first attracted to Royal Enfields as vintage, Brit-styled motorcycles familiar from your youth, you might have favored British Racing Green.

Back in the day (before the 1970s, when FIA abandoned its rules), Italian racers were red, German white (or silver), French blue, Italian red, and British green. 

But not just any green, my friend Doug cautioned when I mentioned this:

"I think you're half right that BRG is not one specific color but it's limited to a range of dark greens, certainly not lime green or Day-Glo for example. I believe Mazda called the color in question Highland Green, which would pass."

Royal Enfield India now refers to its wide variety of available colors as "colorways," probably because so many now involve not just overall paint but complex applications.

Note that, of the 47 possible choices, there is, indeed, one choice that actually IS called British Racing Green.

Also note that there is one model that comes only in black. Can you guess which model?

Below are the 2026 colorways photos on Royal Enfield's U.S. website. Don't expect to find all of these at your dealer! It's hard to believe that all seven Scram 411 choices are available, for instance.

Also, these represent the information found on Royal Enfield's website, which may not perfectly reflect actual production, marketing and availability. There may very well be more than 47 model/color variations out there.

Selling your Royal Enfield? Lots of luck

 Selling your Royal Enfield? Believe me, I feel your pain. 

I recently blogged here that I would NEVER sell my Royal Enfield motorcycle. But I have sold a different motorcycle, and I have sold cars I now wish I had kept. 

I had good reason for selling them, or thought I did. I am sure you have good reasons for selling your motorcycle, if that is what you have decided. 

But I see you out there, going through all the stages of grief/indecision/commitment.

I have read your advertisements on eBay and Craigslist.

Your first try names a price that is clearly too high. You haven't done your homework, and are picking a figure that reflects how much you value your motorcycle. 

OR...

Your first try names a price that is ridiculously too low. Again, you haven't done your homework, and you are applying a dollar amount based on your decision to get it over with and give up the motorcycle.

Either way, you're stunned by the response. Either people ignore you completely, or you suddenly have more offers than you know what to do with.

Too many offers clearly means you have priced your motorcycle too cheaply.

Your next attempt shows that you've looked at other advertisements, and have a better idea what other people are asking for similar motorcycles. You set your revised price at that level.

Oddly, this doesn't entirely work either. The problem is that those ads are only still out there for you to read because their asking price is still too high, or the wording is unreasonable.

By "unreasonable" I mean that it may insist the price is "firm." (As if the seller's stiff neck alone could cancel free market forces!)

Or maybe the ad makes the seller seem like someone no one would want to deal with. Phrases like "do your homework," "I erase all texts," "don't waste my time," or "no test rides" only scare prospects away.

Sure, if that is the way you feel, then go ahead and say so, but wait until AFTER the potential buyer reaches out. Save the warning to bring riding gear, motorcycle endorsement and cash until the prospect asks where he can come to see the motorcycle.

Or, maybe your ad is too bare bones.

"What you see is what you get" isn't very helpful if the photos don't show everything good about the motorcycle. Roll it out of the shed before you take the pictures! List the good things about the motorcycle, and list the cons, too.

Even so, there may be few takers.

Winter and around the holidays are usually bad times to sell, for obvious reasons.

Keep in mind that brand new Royal Enfields are selling at prices that make them enormous bargains. They're your competition, and they're awfully hard to beat. You're not going to get rich selling your used Royal Enfield.

Sellers who insist on running their ads week after week are inviting buyers to wonder why no one else is buying.

An even worse tactic is playing with your asking price: say, switching from $3,700 to $3,699. You might as well tell buyers that you are desperate.

However it goes, don't be too hard on yourself. It takes time to find the right person who wants to spend the right amount.

You can expect, in years to come, to glance at the advertisements yourself, wondering what it would cost to buy back that Royal Enfield you let go. It's either going to hurt, or it's going to make you smile.

About 1973 I sold an MGA for a price so low I'm ashamed to reveal it. It was falling apart so fast I just couldn't afford to keep it running. It was, at the time, a 15-year-old car.

Today, a nice MGA will cost many, many, many times the price I got — yet, today, that car would be almost 60 years old!

Should I laugh or cry? I'll say I should laugh: it's certainly not any more reliable now than it was then.

Good luck.

Royal Enfield: Not 'Royal,' not in 'Enfield'

An antique Enfield rifle made by BSA was appropriately on display at a motorcycle show, next to a World War I BSA motorcycle. What did it have to do with Royal Enfield? Nothing.

 As with so many other realizations in my life, it started with my wife. 

She was reading my item about a 1915 BSA motorcycle displayed at the Dania Beach Vintage Motorcycle Show. The motorcycle was displayed alongside a World War I British Enfield rifle, manufactured by BSA. 

"Oh, so this combines both BSA and Royal Enfield!" she commented. 

"What???" I responded. Then I saw what she meant. 

How had I failed to realize this all along? 

The name "Royal Enfield" is a complete fiction, a creation of clever marketing. 

Royal Enfield, of course, has nothing to do with BSA (although there was also a BSA factory in Redditch, England, ancestral home of Royal Enfield).

Royal Enfield has nothing, really, to do with the Royal Small Arms Factory at Enfield, England, which designed that rifle.

Royal Enfield is in no real sense "royal." Unlike the Royal Small Arms Factory, the motorcycle company never belonged to the monarch.

Royal Enfield's longtime motto, "Made Like a Gun," may be a valid comparison, but Royal Enfield never made small arms itself, although it certainly made a wide variety of armaments, including cannon shells and parts for guns.

Royal Enfield made, and still does make, "Bullet" motorcycles, but although it once made shells for cannons, I don't know of it having made what are commonly called "bullets."

Royal Enfield products have always stood on their merits. But, apparently, the firm's marketing in its early days relied on stolen prestige.

The British firm Royal Enfield descended from George Townsend and Company, a maker of needles in Hunt End, near Redditch. The bicycle craze of the 1880s pulled the firm into making bicycle parts and, by 1890, its own bicycles.

When Albert Eadie took over and became managing director in 1891, the name changed to Eadie Manufacturing. Author Peter Miller describes what came next in his book "Royal Enfield, The Early History."

Towards the end of 1892 "the Eadie Manufacturing Company gained a sizeable contract for the supply of Enfield rifle components to the Royal Small Arms Factory at Enfield in Middlesex. The contract was to prove highly lucrative and helped guarantee the future of the company."

The Eadie company was just adding a new line of bicycles equipped with the new Dunlop pneumatic tires, replacing solid rubber tires.

"In recognition of the successful completion of the contract with the Royal Small Arms Factory at Enfield, it was decided these should be marketed under the Enfield name," Miller writes.

This was obviously a matter of courting fame by association.

In 1893 the word "Royal" was added to "Enfield" to designate a line of even higher quality bicycles to be sold alongside the plain Enfields.

The trademark logo, usually displaying a cannon, and the motto "Made Like a Gun," came the same year.

Royal Enfield's "Made Like a Gun" logo usually featured a cannon, but this 1902 ad for its first motorcycle featured a military rifle with bayonet. The Enfield armory had stopped production of percussion cap rifles like the one shown in 1867, long before the Enfield Cycle Co. formed.

Also in 1893, the Enfield Manufacturing Company was formed to market the bicycles made by the Eadie company.

In 1896 the New Enfield Cycle Company formed to combine the Enfield sales department and the division of the Eadie company that was making its wares. (Eadie separately continued making bicycles, and was eventually acquired by BSA!)

There were many corporate changes to come, including dropping the "New" from the Enfield Cycle Company name, and getting into, and then out of, the business of making automobiles.

By 1898, all machines were identified as "Royal Enfields."

Of course, these were all still bicycles!

The first two-wheeler Royal Enfield we would recognize as a motorcycle appeared in 1901. But, in 1906, the Enfield Cycle Company dropped motorcycles, sales of which were in a slump, and fell back on its profitable production of bicycles.

Royal Enfield was back in the motorcycle business in 1910, when the market perked up.

The "Bullet" name, meant to designate sports models, came along in 1933.
