Army specification
Royal Enfield, with the added luxuries of 5-speed gearbox & electric
start. The rugged 500cc single cylinder machines are painted olive
green (including the mudguards and engine casings) and fitted with a
heavy-duty rack with “ammo box” panniers and crash bars, as supplied
to the Indian Army. Royal Enfield opened a plant in Madras shortly
after the Second World War to supply motorcycles to the Indian army.
Since then the plant has supplied over 100,000 machines to the Indian
army and a further 25,000 to the Police.
