Modern RE are coming blacked out etc to get some protection and less maintenance. They’ve had issues with the clocks aka gauges with condensation etc. Small things but reminders that no one bike is perfect.
The only real difference between a CF Moto and a Royal Enfield is the dealer and service network. The CF Moto bikes are still sold by random retailers, many of whom don't offer any servicing, just the bikes. I can take my new RE to the dealer I bought it from and have warranty service performed/covered on the spot.
