Any Royal Enfield fans here ?

Since its free discussion category I am posting this topic here

Apart from coins, I have a passion towards Royal Enfield bikes even though I own only one. How about you ?

Regards,
Pramod

They're relatively rare in my neck of the woods. Itchy Boots has shown that they are quite reliable. I wouldn't mind having an older bullet.

Yes they are reliable specially old bullets. I have newer model, but because of BS (emission standards) sound in old bullets are missing in newer model.

This is my BULLET STD 350

They named a bike type STD? That sounds really weird to me!

​STD is the Short form of Standard

Royal Enfield Bullet 350 have different models like Standard, ES, KS. So some websites and forums we refer STD for "Standard". Here no other meaning ;) ... I know STD have some other full forms also

​We didn't have much of a Choice of Tires in 1967 unlike today as with oils but we did have 5 Star 99 octane Petrol and if you fitted good Brake Lining's to a drum Drake they worked fine and Stopped you very well. Unfortunately this is the only Photo I have of my GT but the other is me Riding a friends 1959 Cast Iron Head and Barrel 250 Clipper in a vintage Rally in the 90s.

That's awesome, those were the days! I saw the end of the mods and rocker days of London . I had a Honda 90 benley with the huge L plate, my friends had bikes like a panther 600 outfit, Honda 150 benley, Honda s90, and a triumph tiger 350. Everyone had leather jackets with patches and pins from brants hatch and isle of man. Nowadays I putt about on a Honda ft500, the next best thing to an Enfield bullet.

I didn't know bolt action rifles could shoot bikes!

When I heard Enfield I was thinking about the Lee-Enfield Rifles.

​Well, the Royal Enfield bullet is a model of bikes which is very popular. There are other models like the the classic, the thunderbird, the Himalayan etc. Since it’s an Indian brand and people from the west don’t know much about it, they mistake it for other things.

Royal Enfield was Founded in Reditch England and after the Second World War set up a Factory in India that Produced the 350 and 500cc Single Cyl Bikes the UK in there History produced many models 4st and 2st Singles and Twins. The British Factory Closed in the late 60s early 70s but Royal Enfield India still produced the old British Designed Singles but they now after many Years Design and Produce new Modals the Latest being a 650cc Twin that is very Modern.
This Photo was taken around 1972 the Bikes are my 500 Triumph 5TA and a Royal Enfield twin 700cc Constellation not a very good Photo I'm afraid it Handled very well and was way Quicker than a Triumph Bonneville.
