ENFIELD BULLET - still stomping after 50 years...

Enfield ride Heiri
The origins of the Enfield Bullet go back to 1948, when manufacture of the 350cc G2 Bullet started in Redditch.
Royal Enfield Motorcycles built a factory in Madras, South India, in 1955. At the very beginning the bikes where basically used by the Indian Army and Police. The Indian borders, formed by deserts, tropical rain forests and passes in the Himalayas, as high as 5600 m where the bikes are challenged.
Before you get to see a Bullet , you hear it. With it's significant sound and it´s retro chic the bike from Madras is a real head turner !
"...how easy the Enfield is to ride. Who can ride a motorcycle at all will have fun with the Bullet from the very beginning." *
"...easy to handle. Exact and without effort to manoeuvre, sovereign in keeping track" *
* Motorrad 16/1992
"No motorcycle in today's marketplace more authentically
captures the sight, sound and overall spirit of the
golden age of Britbiking 40 years ago than the
Indian-built Royal Enfield Bullet."
(Alan Cathcart in Motorcycle News, 12/ 2000)
