Royal Enfield was initially a British company which used to build motorcycles back in the 1950s. Despite many difficulties the name continued to survive till our days through Indian built versions.

The relation between Royal Enfield and India began in 1956 when an Indian factory started to assemble Royal Enfield bikes. After nine years, the British company was officially dead, but the Indians continued to build bikes and in 1995 they bought the rights to use the British name. It’s a pretty complicated story, but we’re glad to see that such a classic name wasn’t lost in the fog of history.

The 2013 Royal Enfield Bullert G5 has a classic style which underlines the old origins of the company. Though, the vintage look is mixed with a pretty modern engine which has a 499 cc displacement and offers a maximum output of 27.5 BHP.

Quotes

Cycleworld ---- "Because of my nature, I looked for something to work on. But there was nothing. No belt to adjust on the generator drive. No points to check. The rear drum brake has a wear indicator, so I didn’t even have to inspect the linings. With that Keihin EFI, idle mixture takes care of itself, too. The valves even have hydraulic tappets, and those never need attention, either."
