In May, 2022, Royal Enfield Australia and New Zealand announced the People’s Choice winner in its 2022 Busted Knuckles Build-Off competition. Out of all five competitors in this year’s challenge, the Royale Motorcycles GT 650 Production Racer took home the glory after receiving the most votes from the public.
Drawing inspiration from the Royal Enfield 650 production racing series in India, Royale opted to take a more approachable route to crafting this build. Some customs feature a lot of bespoke, handmade parts, which is of course cool to see—but not necessarily something that most people could go out and attempt to do themselves. That’s one reason Royale took a more approachable route, bolting on and in some cases modifying existing parts to achieve their desired end result.
