The Bullet first shot out of Royal Enfield’s barrel back in 1931, and has been the longest running production among bikes, in India, since 1948. Colloquially synonymous with the Royal Enfield itself, the Bullet's hold over the Indian market and sentiment, seemingly, cannot be unclasped. The class, the stature, the demeanour; could we love it any more? One of Britain's babies that came as a side project by the company that made the rifles of the same name, Royal Enfield made its way to India in 1955 being bought off by Enfield Cycle Company and Madras Motors, and is now as Indian as Chole Bhature.

The veteran officer's choice.

The British Army first inducted the Bullet during the Second World War, and The Indian Army selected the Royal Enfield Bullet’s 800 cc and 350 cc as the first motorcycles deemed fit to serve for the Indian police and army, back in 1945. The forces haven’t looked back ever since and Bullet’s relation to authority is now nailed in.

Because we're loud and we're proud about it.

You know a Royal Enfield is on its way from quite some distance, what with the signature roar the Bullet thumps out. I presume most of us would agree that part of the reason we own a bullet was to be the loudest dude on the roads, literally. Now, if that doesn’t fit in with our image, I don’t know what will.
