A maximum trade discount of 22.5 per cent is possible under Royal Enfield trading terms offered by new distributor MotoGB. This is made up from a basic 16 per cent, plus 3 per cent for 30 days early settlement, a 1.5 per cent bonus on nett price for cleared payment in advance of delivery and an overriding 2 per cent bonus if specified dealer standards are maintained.
Two stocking plans are available; the standard plan providing 60 days (March-September) and 90 days (October-February). An extended plan offers 120 days (or more) but is only available on orders of four or more machines delivered at the same time.
A charge of one per cent per month will be applied from date of invoice to stocking plans going beyond the agreed date.
All dealers will be contracted to maintain a stock of five current models, including demo bike, and must provide a clearly designated sales area within the showroom for their display. An additional 10 per cent discount applies to a maximum of four demo bikes a year. They will also be expected to have special tools and a minimum level of spare parts, for which there is a one-off special discount. Dealers must also be equipped with a suitable computer to access the dealer management system and the Moto4 portal for parts, accessories and warranty procedures. All eight models in the range carry a full two year warranty and MotoGB is giving a one year warranty on new machines in dealer stock supplied by the previous importer if they are to standard factory specification. Hourly warranty labour rate is £27.50 plus VAT.
New models in the pipeline include a Continental GT 500 Café Racer expected later this year and the Thunderbird 500 cruiser also likely to join the range this year. Enfield is known to be working on a new twin cylinder 500 and this could appear next year.
