I passed my test on it 53 years ago and had some great ride outs on it. I think I gave it away to a friend when I got my next bike a BSA 650 Rocket and I rebuilt the engine. Many bikes have I had and sold on that I wished I had now. Last Brit bike I had was a Ariel Square Four G 1952 1000cc again I sorted it from the ground up. Sadly sold it for a fair price about 10 years ago. Most bikes on sale these days are low bars, big fairiings and sound like sewing machines. <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> <B>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B><U>01/04/2010 </U></B></div> <div> <B><U>THIS IS WHAT I HAVE FOUND AND DECIDED UPON</U></B></div> <div> <B><U>ROYAL ENFIELD 350 BULLET</U></B></div> <bR> <div> <B><U>BACK TO WERE I STARTED 53 YEARS AGO AT THE AGE OF 16</U></B></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="09bf43c0.jpg" border=0 width="500" height="316" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="0a0ef340.jpg" border=0 width="495" height="308" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> This was Hitchcocks description on Ebay. </div> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="1" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="626" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="VOID" RULES="NONE" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=CENTER HEIGHT= 306 WIDTH="622"><div> <B>ROYAL ENFIELD 350 BULLET 1999 - </B>THIS IS A MODEL THAT WE HAVE HAD FOR MANY YEARS AS A REFERENCE MACHINE. IT HAS JUST HAD BRAND NEW FUEL TANK, SEAT, R/H TOOLBOX, EXHAUST SYSTEM, MUDGUARDS WITH STAYS, BATTERY, TAILLIGHT AND SET OF INDICATORS. THE BIKE IS UK REGISTERED, ON SORN AND WILL NEED SOME MINOR WORK TO GET RUNNING AND THROUGH MOT. £850.00 </div> <div>  I called them and they say it has only done less than 1000 miles since new as it has only been used by them to try out after market products to see if they fit. It has stood in the showroom for years. The minor work needed is :- the new fitted taillight and indicators need to be connected (the connector does not match the one on bike) New battery probably needed, Carb will need cleaning, oil change required, points checking over, General check that all stays are properly connected and tightened up ok. I asked them why dont they do the jobs and sell it higher priced? he said they just do not have the time. Just had 15 x police 500cc R Es delivered from India and they all need sorting and selling on. They are a family business and only few staff. It seems their main business is parts and after market products that are avaiable for R Es. They do not repair bikes as general rule. </div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <IMG SRC="09bf43c0.jpg" border=0 width="500" height="316" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> ROYAL ENFIELD 350 BULLET 1999 arrived home 13/04/2010</div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
