The Appeal
The historical significance of Royal Enfield is not to be understated. It holds the accolade of being the only motorcycle brand to span three centuries and has built a reputation for building dependable bikes. Here we have a charming 1948 G350 - hailed the ‘father’ of the immensely successful Bullet, which remains in production to this day.
Exhibiting a rich patina, this bike is a fabulous survivor that doesn’t warrant any cosmetic restoration unless you like your bikes to exhibit a showroom shine. We understand it to be in good mechanical order and therefore ready to be enjoyed. It benefits from road tax and MOT exempt status, si can be ridden right away.
