Illustrated: 2007 Royal Enfield Army Bullet

An old favourite, the original 'Army Bullet' featured semi-matt green paint, electric  start, butterfly crash bars and removable metal ammunition panniers.   The rugged 500cc single  cylinder machines were painted olive green (including the mudguards and engine  casings) and fitted with a heavy-duty rack with “ammo box” panniers and crash  bars - as supplied to the Indian Army.   

Royal Enfield opened a plant  in Madras shortly after the Second World War to supply motorcycles to the  Indian army.

By 2008, the plant had supplied over 100,000 machines to the  Indian army, and a further 25,000 to the Police.
