1948 G2 Bullet Trials

.

By : Jim Hemingway, Via : www.royalenfield.org.uk

My first experiences with Royal Enfields were fleeting but memorable. At the age of 17 my local bike shop; Buslingthorpe Motor Exchange I think it was called, was trying in vain to fix my old Yamaha and there in the window was a grey bike, pride of place. I asked the shop owner about it , 'Oh that's my bike, a Royal Enfield Bullet its a fantastic bike, its not for sale'.
That was it, my first glimpse of man and machine attachment, the connection that goes beyond mere ownership... Read more

Old-School Joules on an Electric Enfield

.

The Volta 102 is not your typical motorcycle. But James Hammarhead is not your typical motorcycle builder.

Hammarhead is a clinical neuropsychologist and expert in fMRI paradigm design. When he isn’t doing research at University of Pennsylvania, you’ll find him riding or wrenching on an old-school motorcycle. He’s got a thing for British bikes and usually has a project in the works.

That passion for vintage iron led him to launch Hammarhead Industries, a boutique builder creating retro British bikes with a twist.

And, in one case, a cord.

The Volta 102 that Hammarhead built in just three months is one in a growing field of electric street bikes but the first to go retro.


The old-school aesthetic follows Hammarhead Industries’ mission statement, which comes down to “keep it simple, stupid.” Hammarhead isn’t interested in fuel injection or ABS or carbon fiber components. His love affair with minimalism was cemented riding a Royal Enfield through India. The bike was elemental and irresistable.

Royal Enfield Bullet classic

.



via : Tandoor and travel




Guys here I am giving comparison between 500CC and 350CC Royal Enfield Bullet Classic. In production since 1932, Bullet enjoys the reputation of longest running model in the unremitting production. Recently, after 75 years, its new avatar has been launched in the market with new styling and younger look that does not compromise on what is expected from a Royal Enfield. What sets it apart from just about every other motor bike in the market is its authentic vintage styling and styling in single colour. So here we have a bike reminiscent of the native imaginary of British motorcycles, post World War II.


In case you are a diehard Royal Enfield enthusiast just like me, and planning to buy one, I hope the comparison here will help you to make the right choice.
