I don't really know anything about these classic motorcycles.
Honda Super Sport, 400 Four.
I've read that this model was made between 1975 and 1977. It has a 400cc engine that produces more power than many other similar sized engines from that era.
Royal Enfield Bullet Electra.
I believe that this is most likely a British built version from the early 1970's.
Built like a gun is the company slogan ( Enfield rifle the popular English military gun of both the First and Second World Wars ) The company has been building the Royal Enfield Bullet model motorcycle since 1901 , so making it the oldest continuous manufactured motorbike design in the world . The bikes are now made by a former subsidiary company of the original Royal Enfield Cycle Co. in India .

Royal Enfield motorcycles had been sold in India since 1949. In 1965, the Indian government looked for a suitable motorcycle for its police and army, for use patrolling the country's border. The Bullet was chosen as the most suitable bike for the job. The Indian government ordered 800 350-cc model Bullets, an enormous order for the time. In 1955, the Redditch company joined Madras Motors in India in forming "Enfield India" to assemble, under licence, the 350 cc Royal Enfield Bullet motorcycle in Madras (now called Chennai). Under Indian law, Madras Motors owned the majority (over 50%) of shares in the company. In 1957 tooling equipment was sold to Enfield India so that they could manufacture components.
Royal Enfield India manufactures and sells in India, and also exports to Europe as well as the Americas, South Africa and Australia. They recently entered the Indonesian market.
Recently Royal Enfield has undergone a major retooling particularly in the engine department going from carburated cast-iron engines to twin spark unit construction engines on all its models, with EFI available on their flagship 500 cc model. This retooling has sparked such an interest in these bikes that they have started double shifts at the plants.
In August 2015, Royal Enfield Motors announced it is establishing its North American headquarters and a dealership in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with the intention to offer three bikes, the Bullet 500, Classic 500 and Continental GT 535 Cafe Racer

Om Banna est un temple près de Jodhpur, dans l'État du Rajasthan, en Inde. Il est situé à 50 km environ de Jodhpur, près de Chotila, sur la route conduisant à Pali.
Dans le temple, dédié à Om Singh Rathore, est conservée sa moto, une Royal Enfield Bullet 350 cc, raison pour laquelle le temple est aussi appelé Bullet Baba.
Les centaines de fidèles qui empruntent la NH 65 s'y pressent chaque jour pour souhaiter un voyage en toute sécurité, préservé des méfaits de l'alcool.
En 1988, sur la route de Pali à Chotila, Om Singh entre en collision avec un arbre. Sa moto tombe dans le fossé, il est tué sur le coup tandis que son passager Narpat Singh est gravement blessé. La moto saisie par la police est emmené au poste. Au matin, la moto est retrouvée sur les lieux de l'accident.
La moto est à nouveau ramenée au poste, nchaînée et enfermée. Bien que les policiers prétendent avoir vidé le réservoir, la moto est une nouvelle fois retrouvée à l'endroit de l'accident, bien avant l'aube du jour suivant.
Devant tant de mystères, nul ne doute de l'origine divine de ces événements, on se met à adorer la moto que l'on transporte dans le temple construit pour l'occasion.
Om Banna (also called Om Bana and Bullet Banna) is a shrine located in Pali district near Jodhpur, India, devoted to a deity in the form of a motorcycle. It is located 20 kilometres from Pali on the Pali-Jodhpur highway, near Chotila village. The motorcycle is a 350cc Royal Enfield Bullet.
On 2nd Dec, 1988, Om Banna (formerly known as Om Singh Rathore) was travelling from the town known as Bangdi near Sanderao of Pali to Chotila, when he lost control of his motorcycle and struck a tree: Om Banna was killed instantly, his motorcycle falling into a nearby ditch. The morning after the accident, local police took the motorcycle to a nearby police station. The next day it was reported to have disappeared from the station and was found back at the site of the accident. Police, once again, took the motorcycle, this time emptying its fuel tank and putting it under lock and chain to prevent its removal. Despite their efforts, the next morning it again disappeared and was found at the accident site. Legend states that the motorcycle kept returning to the same ditch. It thwarted every attempt by police to keep it at the local police station; the motorcycle was always returned to the same spot before dawn.
This came to be seen as a miracle by local population, and they began to worship the “Bullet Bike.” News of the miracle motorcycle spread to nearby villages, and later they built a temple to worship it. This temple is known as “Bullet Baba’s Temple." It is believed that Om Banna’s spirit helps distressed travellers. The temple includes a tree ornamented with offerings of bangles, scarves and rope. The temple beside the Enfield motorbike has a large picture of Singh.
For the past twenty years, Poonam Giri has maintained the temple and acted as priest.

Another breathtaking view of ladakh! So many of my friends like Ezhil Ramalingam have been to Leh this year! My son and his gang of 10 Royal Enfield Bullet bikers are currently there. The place is ADDICTIVE! Must go again. The blue skies and bizarre scenery keeps calling me. The Gompas and the nice people beckon me! See the road at what is called Captain Mod!

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.
