Royal Enfield Model 180

Motorcycles and Powered Two- and Three-Wheelers

The Royal Enfield Model 180 was a sidecar combination introduced in 1912 by The Enfield Cycle Company of Redditch, England, powered by a 770 cc V-twin JAP engine. It was the six-horsepower sidecar twin of the pre-war range, with chain drive and two speeds, and it appeared in the same year that the Enfield cush drive made its first appearance. The combination was raced successfully in the Isle of Man TT and at Brooklands. Before the First World War the big Enfield twins used these 770 cc JAP engines, and after the war the firm moved to a 976 cc Vickers-built V-twin.
