Royal Enfield Bullet Unknown facts Rhymes

Longest running production bike in the world

The most popular model — the Bullet 350 — was launched 87 years ago, back in 1931. The bike was first launched in the UK market in 1931. The Bullet reached India in 1951 embarking on a historical journey ever since. No other motorcycle has survived in the market this long, which shows a huge fan-following for the model even today.

Royal Enfiled Quotes  

Royal Enfield used to make lawn mowers

Before Royal Enfield started motorcycle production, they used to make lawn mowers. Apart from lawn mowers, they were also in the arms business, which inspired the tagline” Made like a Gun”. The company supplied rifles to the army and had sporting guns too.

Nope, they’re not ‘hand-made’

Even though they have a vintage, hand-built look, present day Royal Enfield motorcycles are made using modern robots on the assembly lines. Before 2014, some models were assembled by hand, but post-2014, after demand spiked, everything from painting to the assembly was done by machines. The pinstripe on the Bullet tanks is hand painted. Interestingly, the painting is being done by the same family of artists since the inception of Royal Enfield in India.

The Interceptor 650 is not their biggest bike

Internationally, Royal Enfield used to offer a 1,000cc V-Twin engine along with many other engine options. In India, the brand used to sell a 650cc V-Twin and 700cc V-Twin engine during the 1970s but due to lack of popularity, they were discontinued.

They had a bike more fuel efficient than a Splendor!

Royal Enfield once launched a diesel-powered bike called the Taurus. The 325cc, single-cylinder diesel engine produced 6.5 Bhp of power and 15 Nm torque. The low revving engine was on the market for 12 long years but we do not see many examples on the road. The bike returned a whopping fuel economy of 70 km/l.

Royal Enfield now exports to its country of origin

Royal Enfield was originally a UK-based company that went bankrupt and was shut down. In 1999, the Indian arm took over the Royal Enfield name and continued using it. After fighting many legal battles, the Royal Enfield got the naming rights. Now the brand has a global presence and exports its bikes all over the world, including the UK.

Still supplies to the Army! Bullet quotes

Royal Enfield have supplied motorcycles to the armies of three different countries. Earlier the bikes were only supplied to the Russian army, later they also started to supply the bikes to the British Army. In 1950s, Royal Enfield started supplying motorcycles to the Indian army. Many of these motorcycles are still being used by many military and paramilitary forces of India.

Royal Enfield is the oldest motorcycle manufacturer in the world

Royal Enfield embarked on its motorcycle journey in 1901, while Harley-Davidson launched their first product in 1905. Royal Enfield sells more in India alone, than the total overall sales of Harley-Davidson in different countries. Looking at both the brands, it does not seem likely that any of them will ever die.

India’s first commissioned motorcycle

The Royal Enfield started supplying motorcycles to the Indian army in 1955. The first order was of 800 units of Royal Enfield bikes for which the British company set up an assembly plant in India in partnership with Madras Motors of India. Initially, they assembled Bullet 350 and later started with Bullet 500 under license from the Redditch company.

India’s first four-stroke bike

Royal Enfield was a leader of innovations in the past. In 1924, the company developed the four-stroke 350cc single-cylinder engine. India got its first four-stroke bike in the form of the Royal Enfield Bullet 350.

Fun Facts Royal Enfield Motorcycle-Bullet Himalayan Interceptor bike riders

1) Royal Enfield opened its establishment in India in 1955 named as ‘Enfield of India’ based in Chennai. It started assembling Bullet motorcycles with the imported components from UK. The original Redditch, Worcestershire based company dissolved in 1971, but ‘Enfield of India’ was thriving; and in 1995, bought the rights to use the name ‘Royal Enfield’.

2) Ironically it is to British Public; in 1984, ‘Enfield of India’ began exporting their own Enfield Bullet Motorcycles back to the UK!

3) The original Royal Enfield logo had cannon, and tag line “Made like a gun, goes like a bullet”. Incidentally this logo of original Royal Enfield Company reflects their background in weapons manufacturing. Interestingly, this firm also made lawnmowers and stationary engines!

4) During the World War-I era, RE had won the contract to supply the British government’s war department with motorcycles. The firm also had a specially designed side car which could accommodate a machine gun. Later on, around same time, the firm also supplied the motorcycles to Russian Army.

5) In 1965, the Indian government looked for a suitable motorcycle for its police and army, for use patrolling the country’s border. The Bullet was chosen as the most suitable bike for the job. The Indian government ordered 800, 350-cc model Bullets, an enormous order for the time. Indian Army still has thousands of Royal Enfield motorcycles in the service for the troops based in North, and North-west borders and other cantonments.

6) Combining UK and India, Royal Enfield is the oldest motorcycle company in the world still in production and Bullet is the longest production run model since inception.

7) Royal Enfield India manufactures and also exports to Europe, America, Japan, South Africa and Australia and additional 45 countries. Recently Royal Enfield has undergone a major retooling particularly in the engine department going from carburated cast-iron engines to twin spark unit construction engines on all its models, with EFI available on their flagship 500 cc model. This retooling has sparked such an interest in these bikes that they have started double shifts at the plants.

8) In 1990, Enfield India produced a diesel motorcycle, called ‘Taurus’. Unfortunately, this motorbike was not a commercial success for the company and they stopped producing them in 2002. However, the bikes have gone to achieve cult popularity and are now a big hit with collectors!

9) Some time back, my mind was blown when I saw a electric Royal Enfield. This had a standard 500 engines which was discarded to fit a whopping 11 Nissan Leaf batteries. Although the testing of this bike is still underway, according to the report, it can go to 100 km/hr. This equates to around just about 62 miles/hr; factually, its flagship 535 Continental GT has a top speed of 145 km/hr. It would be a nightmare really to see a Bullet cruising at that speed ‘without’ the hugely popular engine thump!

5 things you DON'T know about

5 things you DON'T know about

Did you know that Royal Enfield officially sold a diesel powered motorcycle called the Taurus for many years, well until the end of 2000? Launched in 1993, the diesel Bullet was quite popular in semi-urban and rural India, and many examples are still to be found in small towns in India, where the motorcycle even became the base for three wheeler people carriers. Here are 5 little known things about the ‘Diesel Bullet’ – a motorcycle that very few people know about.

It was the only ‘mass produced’ diesel motorcycle of India

Yes, the Royal Enfield Taurus was the only ‘mass produced’ diesel powered motorcycle that India has ever had. In fact, this applies to most other countries. No other diesel powered motorcycle was produced for as long as the Royal Enfield Taurus, and this applies to the number of Tauruses produced as well.

More efficient than a Splendor!

Gulp! Well, the Royal Enfield Taurus never gulped but only sipped. With a claimed fuel efficiency figure of 86 Kmpl, the motorcycle as more fuel efficient than even the Splendor. And in those days – when this motorcycle was in production – diesel used to cost almost the half as petrol. With very little running costs, the diesel Bullet was one of the most frugal motorcycles ever built.

But it has only 6.5 Bhp of peak power

And 15 Nm of peak torque. Powered by a 325 cc, Lombardini indirect injection, single cylinder diesel engine, the Royal Enfield Taurus was wheezy at best, with a 65 Kph top speed. And its 196 kilogram kerb weight – making it much heavier than the 168 kilogram 350 cc, petrol Bullet – didn’t help matters.

And it was produced even after Royal Enfield discontinued it!

Crazy, but true. Sooraj Tractors, a Punjab-based tractor maker produced the Royal Enfield Diesel Bullet (with slight stylistic changes) even after the company discontinued the Taurus. Such was the demand of this motorcycle from the hinterland, where fuel efficiency rules.

Smallest engined four stroke motorcycle built by Royal Enfield 

Surprised? Well, the 325 cc displacement of the Greaves-Lombardini four stroke engine on the Taurus made it the smallest engined four stroke motorcycle built by Royal Enfield in India. The petrol Bullet used a 346 cc four stroke engine. Notably, while India knows this motorcycle as the ‘Diesel Bullet’, it’s real name is the Taurus!
