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 brand has continued through to the present day making it one of the longest-lasting names in the two-wheeled world. Initially just called Enfield, in 1911 they added Royal to the company name and in the early years of the last century were one of the more popular bikes available. The Bullet holds the distinction of being the world's longest-running production motorcycle having been built in various capacities from 1933 to the present day.
This 1957 Royal Enfield Bullet was purchased by the late vendor when he was just 18 years old. He kept it until his passing earlier this year. It was restored a few years ago by him and enjoyed since. It was dispatched for servicing in the last month and made ready for the road by the widow for the next custodian. Described as running well, it is offered with a current V5C and some paperwork.
