2006 Royal Enfield Bullet 500. Registration number KX06 NLM. Frame number ME3AHBST56C000859. Engine number LS 06C1796 (V5C says 6LS500859C).
Royal Enfield revived the Bullet name in 1948 for a sensational new 350cc sports bike with swinging-arm rear suspension. The newcomer featured an overhead-valve engine that housed its dry-sump oil tank in a compartment in the rear of the crankcase, to which the four-speed gearbox was rigidly bolted in a form of semi-unitary construction. Production of both 350 and 500 Bullets ceased in 1962, though the model was taken up for manufacture under license in India in the 1970s and continues in production there in much-improved form today.
NLM was bought new by Michael Payne of Ketting from Rockingham Classics in June 2006, serviced by them at 292 miles and 1,982 miles. Used until its 2013 MOT at 12,360 miles our vendor bought it in October 2021 when the mileage at the MOT was 13,388.
Due to a double hip replacement he has now bought a lower seated bike and this is surplus to requirements.
Sold with the V5C, MOT until October 2022, original purchase invoice and books. It was ridden to the saleroom.
