Iconic bike maker Royal Enfield's new limited edition Despatch motorcycles sold out in less than an hour.
If the latest reports on the web are to be believed, it only took 26 minutes for all the Depatch bikes to run out of stock. Considering the strong fan base of Royal Enfield and the limited numbers of the bikes, it is not surprising.

The new Despatch Royal Enfield motorcycle has been priced at ₹2, 31,064 (on-road, Bangalore) and only 400 units were made available of this limited edition motorcycle in India (200 in each colour variant).
The motorcycles have original Despatch Rider motorcycle-inspired Matte black finish on engine, indicators, exhaust and silencer and Genuine Italian leather seats. It comes with unique camouflage pattern embossed hallmark detailing particulars of its manufacture.
