The Royal Enfield GP was a production-volume 250 cc racing machine from The Enfield Cycle Company, first raced in the Manx Grand Prix in September 1964. It was developed in conjunction with Royal Enfield Racing Manager Geoff Duke, and its first public appearance was at the Earls Court Show in November 1964. It used a duplex-tube frame, leading-link forks and a one-piece tank and seat unit around a 250 cc two-stroke single engine, similar to the small-capacity race machines offered by Villiers-engined rivals such as Cotton, DMW and Greeves. A 1965 250 cc GP5 is among the Royal Enfield machines displayed at the National Motorcycle Museum.
