As riders, we have a wide variety of opinions on any number of things—but one thing most of us can agree upon is that we’re a pretty nostalgic bunch. Maybe it’s a particular bike design of yesteryear that has your heart forever, or even one specific bike that someone close to you once owned. Maybe you’re even the one who owned it. Possibly, you’re just extremely into the history of your favorite OEM. It's all good!
It should come as zero surprise, then, when OEMs keep going back to their own historical troughs to draw new model inspiration. Take Royal Enfield, for example—for whom the past is seemingly both the present and the future. In the past couple of years alone, we’ve had the revival of the Interceptor and Meteor names on bikes, with further trademark registrations for both the Sherpa and the Hunter.
