The Royal Enfield Bullet has the longest production run of any motorcycle having remained continuously in production since 1948, tghe name derives from the company's links with the Royal Small Arms Factory in Enfield, London.

The Bullet has evolved from a four-valve engine with exposed valve-gear to the latest all-alloy unit construction engine with electronic fuel-injection.

The 1956-64 versions of the Bullet were availble as 500cc and 350cc versions following retooling and redesign at the Redditch plant, these changes were not incorporated in the Indian built machines, due to a contract to supply the Indian Army, hus the British and Indian lines diverged, never to meet again. Between 1956 and 1960, the British Bullet was released in several models, including a 350 cc Trials "works replica" version, a 350 cc "Clipper" model and in 1958 the Airflow version. This model had full weather protection from a large fibreglass fairing and included panniers for touring. The engines were the same and the only differences were in exhaust, seating, instrumentation, handlebars and fuel tank. Numerous technical improvements were also made, including moving to alternator charging (1956) and coil ignition (1960). The 350 cc model continued in production, but the 500 cc model was discontinued in 1961.
