One of the longest-running motorcycle models, which has been in production since 1932. Essentially unchanged since the 50s, apart from the switchgear and a few other improvements, the Royal Enfield Bullet 350 still retains the classic look and charm it has always had.
This particular model was imported from India and sold through a UK dealer, and it is also one of the last produced with a right-hand side gear lever and kickstart. The bike has covered just 203 kilometres and is, therefore, in excellent condition, and some would say it is virtually new.
