There’s not one, but two new marques coming to top South West dealer Fowlers of Bristol this year. First up is the Anglo-Indian brand Royal Enfield, which has been enjoying a run of success since the launch of its 650cc twin range in 2018, and the 350cc single model line first seen in 2020. Enfield has been at the top of the sales charts with both the 650 and 350 models for much of the past two years, and Fowlers is set to take on the full range, including the Himalayan and SCRAM 411.
The second part of this expansion is the new BSA brand, and its Gold Star 650 single. The bike has made as big a splash as the Royal Enfields of late – though supply of any actual bikes has taken a lot longer than anyone expected when the firm first showed it off back in 2021.
The addition of Royal Enfield and BSA means Fowlers now sells a total of 16 bike brands. That includes the big four Japanese brands and premium European marques Aprilia, KTM and Triumph, as well as more niche offerings from the likes of Mutt, Husqvarna and GasGas. Commuters can choose scooters from Vespa and Piaggio, and the Bristol showroom also offers the two fully-electric brands Zero and Super Soco.
