- Crusader 'Special'
- Leading link front forks
- From a private collection
The first Royal Enfield motorcycle was built in 1901 by the Enfield Cycle Company of Redditch having previously manufactured bicycles, lawnmowers and stationary engines. Under various ownership, the name has continued through to the present day making it one of the longest-lasting names in the two-wheeled world. The 250cc single-cylinder Crusader was a very popular bike in its day and doubtless sparked the interest of many a future motorcyclist.
An older restoration in keeping with the lines of the ‘Café Racer’ era, this Crusader ‘Special’ consists of leading link front forks suggestive of Crusader Super 5 origins. The 250cc Royal Enfield Crusader and Continentals were some of the fastest 250 machines of their day and still have a good following. The machine has been in part of a private collection for some time and will therefore require recommissioning before use.
