Description

1965 Royal Enfield Bullet DieselJust put 12 months MOT on the bike today and I will fit two new tires before it is sold. (30/09/2014) This started life as a Royal Enfield G2 350cc Bullet built in Reditch. when it was new it was exported to India. possibly sent to the Royal Enfield factory over there as they had just begun manufacturing them under licence. It spent most of it's life over in India but was repatriated and then restored to a very high standard by Henry Price and fitted with a 456cc Diesel engine. http://www. pricepartmotorcycles. co. uk/page_2219102. htmlIt was then registered on the 17/07/2012 and given an age related plate. Being a 1965 bike it qualifies for classic insurance and is also tax exempt. When you also add to the equation it does well over 150 miles to a gallon it does not take a rocket scientist to work out that it costs virtually nothing to run and keep on the road. It has bags of character and always draws a crowd wherever it is parked. This said it is an acquired taste and you are never going to brake  any land speed records on it! It will however cruse all day at 45 - 50 miles per hour and gives grin factor 10. It is only fair to give you some idea of the work that has gone into the restoration by Price Parts and I can't praise the work high enough.
