c.1990 Royal Enfield Bullet 500
Registration no. Unregistered
Frame no. 4B5 36011M
Engine no. 4 B53601M

This Royal Enfield Bullet 500, displaying 26,252 kilometres to the odometer, is a testament to decades of adventurous journeys. Adorned with travel stickers from India, Australia, and Turkey, it carries the marks of a well-travelled machine. Offered in need of restoration due to a cracked crankcase, it presents an opportunity for a passionate enthusiast to breathe new life into this classic motorcycle. With its robust single-cylinder engine and timeless design, the Bullet has long been celebrated for its durability and charm, making it a good project for an enthusiast rider. Offered unregistered without documents, its history unknown, the machine requires restoration to bring it back to its former glory and is therefore sold strictly as seen, its completeness and mechanical condition unknown. Despite its condition, its travel-worn character adds a unique element to its appeal, making it a perfect candidate for someone looking to revive an interesting piece of motorcycling history.
