The Royal Enfield Constellation was a 700 cc parallel-twin motorcycle from The Enfield Cycle Company of Redditch, England, one of the twins that grew out of the 500 cc engine introduced in 1949. That family produced the Meteors, the 700 cc Super Meteors and the 700 cc Constellations, which offered good performance at modest cost and sold widely, if somewhat quietly in reputation. The 700 cc Constellation Twin has since been described as the first superbike. The Grace's Guide page on Royal Enfield lists the Constellation 700cc among the marque's models, beside the Bullet, Interceptor, Meteor, Super Meteor and Clipper.
