Royal Enfield Classic 350 Custom Bobber Is a Representation Of the Bygone Era
Royal Enfield has been the preferred choice of enthusiasts who wish to create a custom bike using it as a base. Until now, this has been the case for workshops in India. However, the models and the zeal to bring something new out of them have now spread to other parts of the world. In this particular case, we will take a look at a custom bobber created by modifying a Royal Enfield Classic 350 by Eimor Customs. While traces of the bike remain, most of the design has been changed to look like a vintage bobber.
Called the Shibusa, the vintage-looking bike gets retro looks, credits to the round headlamp. This is complemented by new custom-made girder forks ditching the original forks. It is to be noted that this unit has been created in-house for the motorcycle. Apart from changing the aesthetic appeal of the bike, the forks bring significant changes to the geometry of the bike.
The bike also gets 18-inch rims with vintage-looking tires on both ends. To achieve the look, the rims get zinc-plated spokes and brass nipples. When it comes to the bodywork, a handmade fuel tank takes center stage, featuring an ornate brass filler cap on top and rubber knee pads along the sides. Positioned directly behind this beautiful tank is a bobber-style seat base, which is adorned with sophisticated brown leather upholstery.
The rear fender is set back, with a cylindrical faux oil tank beneath the seat that serves as an airbox and houses electronics. Further back, the bike features an axle-mounted license plate holder next to a brass-encased circular taillight.

Other notable elements are brass foot pegs and custom crash bars that adorn the engine, with one bar housing a yellow fog light. Higher up, there is a handlebar with brown leather grips and brass levers, along with a vintage-style Smiths speedometer, but it lacks mirrors. Engine modifications include a custom exhaust and polished lower cases. Eimor Customs opted for a minimal paint scheme in off-white for the frame, swingarm, and forks.

...You'll have to take the Tequila Express
Tourism used to be a simple equation. You went somewhere, checked out views, temples, eateries, and soaked in whatever else the place had to offer. But, now, sights and shopping aren't enough. You need a side of spectacle. Think vibes, curated playlists, mood lighting, the right Instagram filter. And if you've got extra dosh, throw in a themed train ride - with a tequila bar - that could make a mariachi weep. Hop on to the Tequila Express. This isn't some novelty name - it's a real train chugging across Mexico's agave-covered terrain. First launched in 1997 to kickstart 'tequila tourism', it took a break and is now back - refurbished, refuelled, and ready to serve 1.2 mn tipsy tourists a year. And this isn't just transport. It's a full-blown rolling fiesta connecting Guadalajara with Tequila, Mexico, complete with enlarged windows, soft lighting, piped-in mariachi music, and flat-screens flashing tacos and distilleries - basically, Agave Netflix while you sip your third shot before noon. Meanwhile, rival trains like the Jose Cuervo Express charge even more to wobble through the same cactus-studded scenery. The best bit? Tequila is now a Unesco World Heritage site. So, yes, getting sloshed on a train officially counts as cultural enrichment. Moral of the story: It's not where you go, but how you sell the ride. Just add lime and call it heritage. Elevate your knowledge and leadership skills at a cost cheaper than your daily tea. Everything 'e' won't make you a millionaire.

Classic Legends aims to go full throttle, double sales in FY26
Mahindra-backed Classic Legends hopes to double sales in this financial year, going full steam on its growth plans with new motorcycle launches, aggressive global expansion and a wider dealer network, even as discretionary spending remains under pressure. The Mumbai-based manufacturer of classic brands is looking to mount a stronger challenge to segment leader Royal Enfield , which sold a record one million motorcycles last year, according to company executives. As part of its global expansion, Classic Legends plans to enter seven new markets including US, Europe and South America. Exports to US have been pushed to July from January on regulatory uncertainties. "Discretionary consumption has clearly been hit, but the stock market gives a false sense of comfort," Anupam Thareja, co-founder of Classic Legends, told ET. "Despite that, we believe our category-classic and adventure motorcycles-is relatively insulated. We're staying bullish." Classic Legends, which owns the Jawa , Yezdi and BSA brands, ended 2024-25 with retail sales of 32,343 units, up 0.18% from 31,016 units in the previous year, according to the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations. The company expects to do better this year. It plans to launch four new models across its brands, expand into global markets and increase its retail outlets in India to 500 from 300 by the festive season, said Sharad Agarwal, the company's chief business officer. On Wednesday, the company launched the Yezdi Adventure . With prices ranging from ₹2,17,900 to ₹2,26,900, it competes with the Royal Enfield Himalayan. In 2023, Classic Legends earmarked an investment of ₹1,000 crore till 2025-26, of which ₹350 crore has been spent. The remaining funds will go toward product development, expanding distribution and boosting exports. Of the projected 80,000 units this year, 25,000-30,000 are expected to be exported to markets such as the US, Europe and South America.
