1934 250cc Royal Enfield Model BO Bullet
One of the first machines to carry the long-running Bullet model name, Royal Enfield’s sporting quarter-litre of 1934 is a tidy little machine with peppy performance. The ohv single engine’s sloping cylinder, twin port heads and high-level exhaust pipes are typical early Thirties’ features. With a 65mph maximum, the four-speed Bullet cruises at 50mph without strain. Used mostly on 350cc and 500cc singles by Royal Enfield until 1965, the Bullet name endures on machines made at a factory in India, originally set up as a subsidiary of the UK company in 1956.
