This past weekend I was riding and pulled up to a stop light and saw one of these, a Royal Enfield. I had never heard of them and, from the totally retro styling at first thought it was a restored bike, but, apparently, it’s not. They were first produced in the UK starting in 1949 and then India around the mid 50’s.

From the company’s web site…

“The Bullet is made today in the same manner it was in 1955. However over the years improved metallurgy, modern machining methods and the passage of time has produced stronger, more durable parts, making the Bullet superior, in some ways to the same bike made in 1955.”

Pretty cool, I love retro looking bikes.
