Royal Enfield Classic Motorcycles

Royal Enfield Classic Motorcycles
    This make began by building three-wheelers but soon turned to small motorcycles with engines mounted over the front wheel. The Redditch factory began producing more convential motorcycles before the First World War and the success of these continued after 1918. In the 1920s and 1930s Royal Enfield continued as a leading manufacturer and even after the Second World War their range embraced motorcycles from 123cc to the 736cc vertical twin superbikes, one of the fastest motorcycles even made in Britain.

    1928 Royal 182, 976cc 1928 Royal 182, 976cc V-twins have been part of the Royal Enfield range since 1910. Motosacoche, JAP and Vickers engines were built in till the factory decided to start producing its own V-twin engine from the 1925 season. The twin model was sold in two types, the model 180 for the touring version and the model 182 for the sports version with lower handlebars. The 1928 range was the first year of the saddle tank models. A special feature of this model is that both brakes are operated by foot pedals. Max power output is about 27 HP; full Lucas electrics are on board and the machine dition.

    1936 Royal Enfield Model G2 350cc ROYAL ENFIELD MODEL G2 350cc 1936 1936 marked a year of transition for the Royal Enfield model range, with the range moving to vertical cylinders in favour of the inclined layout that had been fashionable at the start of the decade. The first models to display the new layout were the touring Model J (500) and G (350) overhead valve machines; a pair of competition variants soon joined these with upswept silencers and lighter mudguards offering greater clearance. For the 1937 season the range was further expanded with the arrival of the tuned, de luxe, G2 and J2 variants.

    The Flying Flea resulted from a request by the former Dutch DKW importer for a replica of Holland's then best selling motorcycle, the 98cc DKW RT following the withdrawal of the DKW concession on religious grounds. Royal Enfield obliged, producing a machine that closely followed the DKW design, although they increased capacity to 125cc.

    Announced in 1953 for the 1954 season was the 250cc Clipper. It had a top speed of 62mph and cost £162. The advertisement above is of a similar 1955 model. Very few vehicles were available new in Great Britain at that time. We still had petrol rationing. Many new Royal Enfields were exported, and nowadays it is unusual to come across an early Clipper 250 like this.
