Why Royal Enfield created a limited edition

Royal Enfield doesn’t have a history of limited editions. Usually associated with updated versions of legacy motorcycles, Royal Enfield has broadened its lineup and vision. The Himalayan adventure bike and Scram 411 Crossover are recently introduced for contemporary riding styles. Royal Enfield is also developing the Flying Flea brand of electric motorcycles scheduled to debut in 2026.

Many motorcyclists customize and personalize their bikes. Recognizing this worldwide desire for self-expression, Royal Enfield chose the 648 cc parallel-twin engine Shotgun 650 as a platform to demonstrate customization. The Limited Edition Shotgun 650 is influenced by Icon’s Always Something custom-built motorcycle displayed at international motorcycle events in 2024.

What's better than fun? Even more fun. That's probably the mission statement for the Polaris Slingshot team. Polaris introduced the 2025 Slingshot lineup in late January, but the company has already boosted the excitement with a limited-edition 10th-anniversary model called simply Slingshot 10.

The Polaris team went all out with the Slingshot 10. Based on the top-of-the-line 2025 Slingshot R, which was already the most powerful and sporty model, the Slingshot 10 adds plenty of limited-edition styling elements and premium comfort and convenience features.

Royal Enfield tantalizes with Flying Flea electric motorcycle
The new Flying Fleas will be built for urban use, not battlefields
Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 concept.

Royal Enfield recently introduced Flying Flea, a new division that develops and manufactures electric motorcycles. The first production model, the FF-C6, is expected in early 2026. The final version will look similar to the prototypes in the photos, which have already been in development for several years. A scrambler-style model will follow the FF-C6.

Established in 1901, Royal Enfield is best known today for relatively low-cost, heritage-focused motorcycles with small-to-medium-displacement gas engines. Flying Flea is a forward-looking brand, but it, too, has roots in the company's history. The original Flying Flea was a lightweight but rugged small motorcycle that was airlifted and dropped by parachute to British Special Forces personnel on WWII battlefields.
