== Overview ==

Royal Enfield Bullet Classic 500 Military












The rugged Military model has seen extended
duty on several fronts over the years and is now a prize for military
enthusiasts throughout the world.
This highly unusual motorcycle is painted olive
drab and comes standard with metal panniers (saddle bags) and engine bars, a
unique look that harkens back to World War II.
Royal Enfield has a long and illustrious
association with the British and Indian armies. In 1892 the company's
predecessor won a lucrative contract to supply precision rifle parts to the
Royal Small Arms Factory in Enfield, Middlesex and to celebrate produced a
bicycle called the 'Enfield'. When motorcycle manufacturing commenced in 1901,
the Royal Enfield was born.

During The First World War Royal Enfield supplied motorcycles to the British War
Department, including a machine gun combination and the 6hp stretcher-carrying
outfit. However the companys most famous military motorcycle is possibly the
Flying Flea that was developed for airbourne forces in the later stages of the
Second World War. Sometimes referred to as the Airborne, this lightweight
125cc motorcycle could be fitted into a steel tubular cage called the Bird
Cage, which had a parachute attached to it and so could be dropped by parachute
with airborne troops.

Royal Enfield opened a plant in Madras in 1949 to supply motorcycles to the
Indian army. Since then the plant has supplied over 100,000 machines to the
Indian army and a further 25,000 to the Police.
The current Army specification Royal Enfield
looks almost identical to the original 350cc Bullet of 1949 at first glance, but
is fitted with many discreet modern conveniences, including a 5-speed gearbox,
electric starter and 12-volt electrics. However, a classic 500cc single cylinder
engine with an authentic exhaust note powers it. These machines are painted
olive green (including the mudguards and engine casings) and fitted with a
heavy-duty rack with ammo box panniers and crash bars, as supplied to the
Indian Army. It complies with all current European regulations so it is fully
road legal and is available via Royal Enfield's nationwide dealer network.
