A 19th century motorcycle that people ride even today



This is a motorbike that simply doesn't go out of fashion. What else can be the reason for a manufacturer to make the same model for over 50 years?

The history of the Royal Enfield dates back to 1891 to a small factory in England that produced some of the finest motorcycles of the time. The bike underwent some changes over time, until the formation of the "Bullet" model.

The company moved from England to India over the latter part of the 20th Century and the Madras based manufacturer has been reproducing the 1949 model motorcycle to this day. However, certain modifications have been introduced to keep up with the local laws and other specifications.

Royal Enfield the oldest continuously produced motorcycle in the world. The company is now eyeing a global expansion and has even come back to England after a very long time.
