The first Royal Enfield motorcycle was built in 1901 by the Enfield Cycle Company of Redditch, having previously manufactured bicycles, lawnmowers and stationary engines. Under various ownership, the name has continued through to the present day, making it one of the longest-lasting names in the two-wheeled world. Initially called Enfield, in 1911 they added Royal to the company name.
A beautiful Pioneer machine, this very charming 1912 Royal Enfield has had just three previous owners from new. The Enfield has seen very little use in the 112 years since it was built. It is believed to have been restored way back in the 1970s and not been used very much since completion. The current vendor used the machine sparingly when he first purchased it and has not used it for a couple of years. It will now need some light recommissioning before placing it on the road. It comes complete with a current V5C, a Pioneer Certificate (number 2106) and an old logbook from 1926.
