The Royal Enfield Model J was a 500 cc single-cylinder overhead-valve motorcycle from The Enfield Cycle Company of Redditch, England. The first J model appeared in 1930, and the line came back after the Second World War with a rigid rear frame and telescopic front forks, as a ride-to-work machine beside the 350 cc Model G. In 1947 the 500 cc Model J was back in production fitted with telescopic forks with two-way hydraulic damping in place of the old pre-war girder forks, and in 1948 the J2 variant, with twin exhaust ports and pipes, was released at first for export only.
