Property of a deceased's estate
2011 Royal Enfield Bullet 500 Classic
Registration no. HF11 EHN
Frame no. ME3CKECT5AC005780
Engine no. U5S5F0AE005780

Royal Enfield revived the Bullet name in 1948 for a sensational new 350cc sports bike with swinging-arm rear suspension. The newcomer featured an overhead-valve engine that housed its dry-sump oil tank in a compartment in the rear of the crankcase, to which the four-speed gearbox was rigidly bolted in a form of semi-unitary construction. Production of both 350 and 500 Bullets ceased in 1962, though the model was taken up for manufacture under licence in India in the 1970s and continues in production there in much improved form today.
And talking of much improved: this Bullet 500 Classic features a unitary construction engine, fuel injection, five-speed gearbox, electric starter, and a front disc brake. Carrying a tax disc that expired in 2013, the machine currently displays a total of 1,646 miles on the odometer (at the time of cataloguing) and has not been used for sometime. Recommissioning to a greater or lesser extent will be required before further use and thus it is sold strictly as viewed (the vendor advises us that a new battery has been fitted). The machine is offered with an owner's manual, service guide, current V5C document, and DVLA V11.
