The Royal Enfield 'Bullet' in all its obsolescence is still manufactured in India with little change in the original 1949-55 design. Despite its primitive looks and very basic mechanical construction, the charm of this bike lies in its low-tech gas-guzzling four-stroke engine. Turn it on, and the air around you reverberates with a low frequency rhythmic rumble. This is the classic heavy-bike-sound of the fifties and sixties, no longer found in today’s hi-tech machines. At a gross dry-weight of 165 kilograms (or more) with engines available either in the 350 cc., or the 500 cc. mold, the Enfield is the only locally manufactured touring bike readily available in South Asia.

In spite of its age, both in design and technology, it is heartening to note today that the Royal Enfield Bullet motorbike has lived on to become a cult machine with a broad fan base all over the world. To know more about these bikes, log on to www.royalenfield.com
