The Royal Enfield Bullet is an overhead valve, single-cylinder, four-stroke motorcycle initially made by Royal Enfield in Redditch, Worcestershire England. It was later produced by Royal Enfield at Chennai, India. The Royal Enfield Bullet has the longest unchanged production run of any motorcycle having remained continuously in production since 1948, and the bullet name dates back even further to 1931. In 1955, Royal Enfield carried out some retooling and redesign at their Redditch plant, in the UK, to modernise the Bullet, and in 1959 some changes were made to the gear ratios. These changes, however, were not incorporated by the Indian arm due to its commitment to supply the Indian Army. Thus the British and Indian lines diverged, never to meet again.
AWA has had the benefit of a good restoration some years ago, but has seen little use since. Our vendor informs us that it has more recently received a new speedo, tail lamp, ignition switch, horn , points, condenser and battery, and has had an oil service.
