The event, sponsored by the Indian brand, featured a convoy of 23 motorcycles that toured emblematic points of Rome, such as the Colosseum, the Circus Maximus, Piazza del Popolo, Piazza di Spagna and Piazza Navona. Still camouflaged, the Flying Flea C6 was shown in motion for the first time on the European continent, with few visual details revealed.
The parade also brought together historic Royal Enfield models, including its first motor vehicle, a 1901 motorcycle. Among other highlights were a 1953 Meteor 700 cm³ and a 1957 Bullet Trail 350 cm³ prepared for competition, reinforcing the historic character of the presentation.
In addition to the exhibition, the partnership with the organization of the race included the use of about 30 modern motorcycles of the brand, such as Guerrilla 450 and Himalayan 450, intended for logistical support, inspection and media coverage along the route.
The Flying Flea C6 had already been revealed previously during Eicma 2024, when the manufacturer released limited information. Among the confirmed items are ABS with cornering function and traction control, while data such as autonomy, power and recharge time remain without official disclosure.
Initially scheduled for 2025, the model’s debut did not materialize. With the recent public appearance, Royal Enfield is expected to reveal new details soon, although there is still no confirmation on priority dates or markets for the launch.
