Royal Enfield Silver Plus

Motorcycles and Powered Two- and Three-Wheelers

The Royal Enfield Silver Plus was a two-seater, step-through motorcycle that Royal Enfield Motors introduced in India in the 1980s. It was among the first geared step-through machines sold in that country, and it was launched alongside the Explorer, a sister mini bike with the same engine. The two differed in how the rider changed gear: the Silver Plus used a hand-operated cable link gear shift, much like Italian scooters, while the Explorer used a foot lever. Wikipedia describes the engine as a two-stroke, air-cooled, carburetted unit of 49 cc built with technical assistance from the German maker Zundapp, with a two-speed gearbox later replaced by a three-speed one. Dealer and enthusiast accounts instead give a displacement of roughly 60 to 65 cc, so the exact capacity is treated as unsettled. The model is no longer produced.
