Strategy and Implementation Summary

Excellent word of mouth among motorcycle hobbyists is the Royal Enfield of Eicher
motors. The motorcycle community is close and used by its members to locate
resources and services. Each satisfied customer of Eicher motors will bring in more
business.

5.1 Competitive Edge

Royal Enfield has a special place in the annals of Indias motorcycling history. One of the
oldest brands in existence in the world, it was first introduced in India in 1949. Its
influence on Indian motorcycling was so strong that many Indians would have either
started out riding a Royal Enfield, or experienced one at some point in their lives. It
was Royal Enfield which gave birth to the concept of leisure motorcycling in India. Their
bikes possessed an inherent sturdiness and relatively simple mechanicals, which meant
they could be ridden anywhere without much trouble.

5.2 Sales Strategy

Eicher motors will open with a Customization Show and Competition. During the first
month of operation, Eicher motors will offer a 15% discount on all purchases.
