The Royal Enfield Bullet was an overhead valve, single-cylinder, four-stroke motorcycle initially made by Royal Enfield in Redditch. It was later produced by Royal Enfield at Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India, a company originally founded by Madras Motors to build Royal Enfield motorcycles under licence in India. The Royal Enfield Bullet has the longest and unchanged production run of any motorcycle having remained continuously in production since 1948. The Bullet marque is even older and has passed 75 years of continuous production. The Royal Enfield and Bullet names were derived from the British company which had been a subcontractor to the Royal Small Arms Factory in Enfield, London.
This bike has come from a very reputable vendor and is in super condition, as all his bikes are. It currently has no MOT but has done minimal mileage since the last one and the overall condition would suggest that it would be just a formality. It has a file with full UK V5, previous MOTs and service receipts. It also has an invoice relating to and extensive engine overhaul in 2022.
