Royal Enfield motorcycle with 750 cc engine spotted in Spain

Royal Enfield has been working on a 750 cc, twin-cylinder engine for quite some time. Now, the motorcycle manufacturer seems to have started testing this new engine on public roads. A few spy shots have surfaced on the Internet which show a modified Continental GT mule that houses the larger engine. The bike was spotted testing in Spain.

These leaked spy shots make it apparent that the 750 cc engine is a carbureted mill, not a fuel injected one. As a result, reports claim that this new engine will debut in India, before being exported to other countries. The reason behind this claim lies in the fact that a carbureted motorcycle won't be Euro-IV compliant, and thus won't be allowed to sell in the European markets. Royal Enfield, in all probability, would be planning another engine technology for this region. The manufacturer already sells a fuel injected version of the 500 cc engine in Europe.

The overall length of the test mule has been increased a bit in order to accommodate the larger engine. This is currently just a makeshift prototype model, and the final product is expected to be completely different than what is being showcased in the spy shots.

Once launched, the Royal Enfield 750 cc motorcycle will aim to compete against the Harley Davidson Street 750.
