Royal Enfield Pegasus Classic 500 owner shares letter sent by dealer – Offers detailed

Royal Enfield Pegasus owners feel betrayed by the company. They are of the opinion that the company sold them an exclusive bike at a premium price and within a few weeks of sale, made the bike un-exclusive by launching a similar looking bike.

This led to several owners coming out together and protesting. Some owners went and dropped their bike at the dealership. Some decided to place the bike in garbage dump and click photos, and so on. This protests finally got Royal Enfield’s attention and they introduced a few offers via their dealers. Below is one such letter sent out by a RE dealer to a Pegasus 500 owner:
