2008 Royal Enfield 500cc classic iron barrel 4 speed Bullet that has been modified at considerable expense to look like a 1950s Bullet. Considerable time and money spent on the bike, and it is in very good condition with a lot of sensible modifications. I have owned it for 4 years and have only used it for touring or long day trips. The indicators have been removed (but wiring remains) and can be easily converted back if preferred. It has been regularly serviced, the latest being mid-May with oil (Silkolene) and filter change plus the usual servicing needed for this type of bike. It has wider swept back bars with longer cables for comfortable touring and bend-swinging. It is planted, a delight to ride and always draws a crowd. Other mods many from Hitchcocks, include:
Amal Mk 1 carb with bellmouth
Dual seat and wiring tidy
4 gallon tank for a 250 mile range
Private number plate - R13ENF
Hitchcocks 50s style exhaust system
Clutch pressure pad for easier shifting
50s style Nascelle instruments with ignition relocated
Discrete electric start button on side box
Motobatt battery for strong cranking power.
This is a reliable, pleasant machine to ride that is the last of the legacy bikes from the old Redditch design. With the right procedure it is a first kick starter, and the electric start works perfectly! MOTd until the end of the year. There are a couple of small dings in the tank, a few scratches here and there some touched up but generally in good condition and easily maintained that way. Priced sensibly so first to offer the asking figure will get an interesting very useable Bullet that should provide years of pleasure and service if looked after like a classic bike. Indeed these bikes are essentially classic bikes, without the classic bike prices!
