Royal Enfield was the make of the Enfield Cycle Company, an English engineering company. Most famous for producing motorcycles, they also produced, amongst other things, bicycles, lawnmowers, stationary engines and even rifle parts for the Royal Small Arms Factory in Enfield. This legacy of weapons manufacture is reflected in the logo, a cannon, and their moto "built like a gun, goes like a bullet". The original Redditch-based company dissolved in 1970, but the name was acquired by a former licencee and continues to be used today.

History
The first automotive vehicles with the Royal Enfield History name were produced in 1898 - a quadricycle with a De Dion-Bouton 2.75 hp engine. In 1901 came the Motor Bicycle with a 150 cc 1.5 hp engine above the front wheel. In 1902 a similar contraption appeared with an Enfield engine of 239 cc 2.75 hp. In 1910 came the first of the famous Enfield V-twins, first with Motosacoche 344 cc 2.75 hp engines, later with Enfields own engine. Until World War I the big twins with 770 cc 6 hp J.A.P. engines and after WWI 976 cc 8 hp Vickers-Wolseley engines. In 1915 came the first of the small two stroke 225 cc engines, starting with model 200.
The company merged with Alldays & Onions in 1907 and produced cars called Enfield-Allday until 1925.

Interwar Years
During the 1920's a mid range of Enfields left the factory: model 350 (350 cc SV), 351 (350 cc OHV) and 352 (350 cc twinport sports).
In the 1930's there was a large variety of models from small two strokes to large side valves, from A-Z. A 225 cc two stroke, B 225 cc sv, BO 250 cc ohv Bullet, C 350 cc sv, CO 350 cc ohv, G 350 cc ohv Bullet, H 488 cc sv, J 488 cc ohv, J2 488 cc two port ohv, K 976 cc sv v-twin, L 570 cc sv, T 148 cc ohv, Z (Cycar) 148 cc two stroke and many more variants.

WW2
During WWII the production changed to motorcycles for the war machine. Models for the military were: WD/C 350 cc sv, WD/CO 350 cc ohv, WD/D 250 cc sv, WD/G 350 cc ohv, WD/L 570 cc sv and the famous Flying Flea, the 125 cc lightweight motorcycle that was dropped in a tube cage with parachutes from planes.

Post war
After the war the Enfield Cycle Company came back with the last prewar models. In 1949 the first new models were introduced: the 500 twin (500 cc full sprung parallel twin) and the 350 cc full sprung Bullet. It was the 1954 350 cc Bullet model which was to be made in India until the present (read further down). After 1956 a new frame was introduced in the British made version of the Bullet, making it different from the 1954 model still being produced in India. The British made version was manufactured until 1964. Later on models like 250 cc Crusader (1957) and 700 cc Meteor (1955), were followed by 250 cc Continental GT (1965), the 700 Constellation (1959) and the 736 cc Interceptor (1963).

Royal Enfield Interceptor
During the onslaught of the Japanese motorcycle manufacturers in the late sixties and early seventies, the English factories made a final attempt with the 736 cc Interceptor Model, series I and Series II. 
Made largely for the U.S market, it sported lots of chrome and an engine performance with less than 14 seconds to the quarter mile at speeds well above 175 km/h (105 mph). It became very popular in the U.S, but the classic mistake of not being able to supply this demand, added to the demise of this last English made Royal Enfield. The Interceptor engine was eagerly used in racing machines like the Rickman Metisse and in the American Indian motorcycle during this period.
The Redditch factory ceased production in 1967 and the Bradford-on- Avon factory closed in 1970, which was the end of the British Royal Enfield.

As far as the motorcycle brand goes though, it would appear that Royal Enfield is the only motorcycle brand to span three centuries, and still going, with continuous production.
