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 brand has continued through to the present day making it one of the longest-lasting names in the two-wheeled world. Initially just called Enfield, in 1911 they added Royal to the company name and in the early years of the last century were one of the more popular bikes available.
This 225cc Model B is from a deceased estate, so unfortunately not much is known of its history, displayed and dry stored for many years it will need recommissioning before use. A good-looking bike with its carbide lights, fishtail and a hand change it has been authentically restored at some stage in its life, so, after recommissioning it should make an ideal lightweight bike for either display or use at veteran and vintage events. The Model B is offered with a current V5C.
