The Royal Enfield Bullet was originally a British overhead valve single cylinder four-stroke motorcycle made by Royal Enfield in Redditch, Worcestershire, but now produced by Royal Enfield Motors, the successor to the British company, at Chennai, Tamil Nadu, in India. The Royal Enfield Bullet has the longest production run of any motorcycle having remained continuously in production since 1948. The Bullet marque is even older, and has passed 75 years of continuous production. The Royal Enfield and Bullet names derive from the company's links with the Royal Small Arms Factory in Enfield, London.
The British company produced many noteworthy motorcycles over the next seven decades until the '70s when it folded. Manufacture continued in India, though the bikes were predominantly intended for local use and were not widely exported. In 1995 Enfield of India bought the rights to the name "Royal Enfield" and began renewed development efforts. Modern carburetors, five-speed transmissions and new twin-leading-shoe front brake systems were notable improvements.
FRX was purchased new by Alan Day, receipt on file, it is fitted with the lean burn engine, a five speed gearbox operated on the left and electric start. The DVLA shows MOT history in 2015, 2016, 2017 although the vendor assures us that the machine has only covered the 18 miles showing on the odometer as it was bought from the same gentleman as lot 52 and they were display models, help will be given with getting this rectified. It will need recommissioning for road use.
Sold with the V5C, purchase receipt, owners manual and one key.
