Royal Enfield was the name under which the Enfield Cycle Company made motorcycles, bicycles, lawnmowers and stationary engines. This legacy of weapons manufacture is reflected in the logo, a cannon, and their motto "Made like a gun, goes like a bullet". Use of the brand name Royal Enfield was licensed by the Crown in 1890. The original Redditch, Worcestershire based company was sold to Norton-Triumph-Villiers (NVT) in 1968. Production ceased in 1970 and the company was dissolved in 1971.

In 1956 Enfield of India started assembling Bullet motorcycles under licence from UK components, and by 1962 were manufacturing complete bikes. Enfield of India bought the rights to use the Royal Enfield name in 1995. Royal Enfield production, based in Chennai, continues and Royal Enfield is now the oldest motorcycle brand in the world still in production with the Bullet model enjoying the longest motorcycle production run of all time.

1.43 min. | 4.57 user rating		 The Bike they forgot to stop making, designed ca 1948, and still in production. It's like riding a time machine. We get up over 80 MPH, here, quite enough for a pushrod 500.
9.32 min. | 4.76 user rating		 My dad came out for a visit and test rode my 1955/2003 Royal Enfield Bullet 500 Classic. Royal Enfields were originally made in England, then in India when a factory was opened there in 1954. Since then, the India factory has continued building the 1955 Royal Enfields.
1.02 min. | 4.95 user rating		 A Royal Enfield is a rare breed in an age of mass-produced, user-friendly predictability. This is a mechanical motorcycle, handcrafted with love, engineered with purpose, and designed in a way that gives each machine its own unique character. This character is reinforced by Royal Enfield's cultural DNA - by where it was born, and by where it is now built. Its classic British pedigree shows in every line, while the gleaming new engine hints at the devotion that has enabled this legendary marque to thrive in the outskirts of Chennai. This film, "Handcrafted In Chennai", is a tribute to the wonderful people who build, sell, ride and maintain these beloved machines, and is a heartfelt tribute to the city that Royal Enfield calls home.

This is only a sample of the movie I am producing this days. I bought my ENFIELD 5 days ago and had to make a movie about it - I love this machine ;-) ...and sorry for the L on the backside of the bike. I know it looks stupide. To be continued...

0.98 min. | 4.87 user rating		 Greetings fellow Enfield Bullet fans! Here's my first youtube video of the 2nd bench test run of my project- a 700cc Enfield Bullet based V twin using 2 350 top ends. From sketches on paper to designing, numerous changes, 3d CAD modeling, printing drawings, building all the patterns myself, getting them cast, then machining everything myself (that began about a year ago-learnt everything as I went along) till this wonderful day (23rd JAN, about 2:00 in the morning!), it has been about 5 years! A dream from heady college days seems to be coming true, unable to sleep. Next step is installing it in the test bike, frame stretched. If you all know about the Norcroft and Carberry Enfields and are wondering why I did this anyway, well, too much time, effort and dreaming had been done when I heard of them, so inspite of some major discouragement that the enfield V twin had already been done by professionals, I decided to plough ahead anyway. NO REGRETS! Watch out for some more videos from me with info on the motor, test rides etc. coming soon! TURN UP YOUR SPEAKERS, CRANK UP THE BASS! Thanks for watching!
