Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 Makes European Debut at Rome Marathon The Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 made its first appearance on European roads last weekend during the Rome Marathon, drawing attention as the event’s centerpiece. The electric motorcycle, dressed in a camouflage livery for its debut, led a procession of Royal Enfield motorcycles through the historic streets of Rome. The cavalcade began at the marathon’s start line, where the new model was joined by a selection of classic and vintage motorcycles from the brand’s history. The route took riders through iconic landmarks, including the Colosseum, Circus Maximus, Piazza del Popolo, Piazza di Spagna, and Piazza Navona. Alongside the Flying Flea C6, the lineup featured Royal Enfield’s first motorized vehicle, a 1901 Quadracycle, as well as a 225cc Model 201 from 1921, a 700cc Meteor from 1953, and a Factory-prepared 350cc Bullet Trails from 1957. The event also showcased 30 Guerrilla 450 and Himalayan 450 motorcycles used by support teams, stewards, and media units. Royal Enfield’s current motorcycle range was displayed by owners from the Rome branch of the Riders Club of Europe (RCE). The brand’s partnership with the marathon organizers also included a 125km community ride by RCE members the day before the event, celebrating Royal Enfield’s 125th anniversary. Approximately 40,000 runners participated in the marathon, with participants from around 166 countries. The Flying Flea C6’s debut marked a significant moment for Royal Enfield, highlighting its transition into electric mobility while honoring its storied heritage. The event underscored the brand’s connection to both modern innovation and its deep-rooted history in motorsport and classic motorcycle culture.#royal_enfield #rome_marathon #flying_flea_c6 #riders_club_of_europe #colosseum
