This year is hailed as the 70th anniversary of the Bullet. Though there were Royal Enfield models and even bicycles given the name pre-war, the Bullet as we know it today was introduced in 1949.
70 years back the Bullet was bang up to date with swinging arm frame, alloy head, cast alloy chain case and integral oil filter and tank. A way better spec than almost all other bikes on the market at the time.
To commemorate the anniversary the REOC are holding their annual International Rally as a special Bullet-focused event: the aim is to get 100 Bullets turning up. Given the number around that's not too ambitious a goal. In a shrewd move the International Rally is being held in conjunction with the VMCC's fabulous Founders Day event so rally goers get a two in one of attractions.
Bullet owners support this event!
