The Appeal

Designed to be an affordable and dependable motorcycle, the Royal Enfield Model G was originally a pre-war design, often attributed as the forefather of the successful Bullet.

This post-war example features telescopic forks and a 350cc OHV engine. It has been restored quite recently, covering fewer than 100 miles since. It is a truly charming example and is ready to be ridden and enjoyed.
