The Royal Enfield Bullet is a motorcycle model originally built in England beginning in 1932 and later produced in India, where manufacture continued long after Bullet production ended in Britain, making it one of the longest continuously produced motorcycle designs in the world. Built around a simple single-cylinder four-stroke engine and a traditional steel frame, the Bullet became closely associated with the Indian market after Royal Enfield's Indian licensee continued building the model with only gradual updates for decades, giving it a reputation for old-fashioned mechanical simplicity that developed a dedicated following among riders seeking a classic riding experience. Later versions incorporated modern fuel injection and improved reliability while retaining much of the model's traditional appearance.
