Enfield started out as a bicycle producer in the Victorian era and moved into motorcycles at the turn of the century. It has always been a marque of quality and is probably best know for the 350cc and 500cc Bullet which came in 1933. Interestingly the early Bullets had four valve heads which the rest of the world waited another 50 years before introduction in production models. In the sixties the 250cc Continental GT's cut a dashing line, but like the rest of British production, lost out to the Japanese. End of story? Well no, as fortunately Bullet production was started in Madras, India under license in the 1950's, and you can still buy a Royal Enfield Bullet in more or less 1950's trim today.
