The Royal Enfield Bullet holds the record for the longest production run of any motorcycle, and it’s still being produced in India today, but this example is among the first made and the oldest survivors. Royal Enfield’s range in the early 1930s saw the Bullet name introduced in 1932 for a variety of overhead-valve sports models, which consisted first of 350 and 500cc variants, with a 250 arriving in 1933. The 250 Bullet (designated the BO), like the example offered for sale, used a four-speed hand-change gearbox, a high-compression piston, a cast aluminium primary chain case and twin high-level exhausts. The Bullets were loved for their lively and nimble performance, though it was the 350 and 500 which naturally returned the most impressive speeds.
This 1934 Model BO 250 Bullet has been fully restored to the highest professional standard by the National Motorcycle Museum and has lately resided in its reserve collection, some of which is now being sold to make space for a new workshop. It remains immaculate, with serious concours potential, although it will require some checks, fettling and running-in as it has not been used significantly since the restoration was completed.
