Clipper 1953-57, 248cc, ohv single, 350lb, 95mpg, 62mph
Built in the post war era to fill the gap between the 125cc & 350cc models and competing with the Villiers 197cc models of the other manufacturers. Based on the separate engine & gearbox configuration of the time using a scaled down version of the G models engine. Fitted with a Miller alternator and coil ignition, the headlight casquette housed the speedometer, ammeter and light switch. The frame was an open diamond with swinging arm rear suspension and telescopic forks. Single saddle was standard with dual seat as an option. There was also a cheaper S model with rigid back end, but this was dropped in 1954. In 1955 the gearbox was up-rated along with the other model to have the concentric kick-start and gear shift. Good handling and comfort made this a nice utility machine which need little refining. Also available in a 350cc model G form through to 1962.

Clipper II 1958-65, 248cc, ohv single, 350lb, 95mpg, 62mph
Basically an up-rated model with alloy cylinder head, reduced compression ratio and dual seat as standard.

Crusader 1956-66, 248cc, ohv single, 330lb, 92mpg, 78mph
Unit construction single with a separate chamber around the gearbox which housed the engine oil. Smaller wheels, an open type frame with single top and down tubes gave good handling and looks. The forks carried the headlight casquette housing speedometer, ammeter and light switch. Full width hubs and single leading shoe brakes finished off the machine. 1959 saw the introduction of the Crusader Sports model. 1962 the Crusader was offered with a 5 speed gear box in the form of the Super 5 and leading link forks until 1964.

Continental 1962-67, 248cc, ohv single, 320lb, 65mpg, 80mph
Restyled version of the 5-speed Crusader giving better acceleration and stunning looks in the GT form. Reverting back to telescopic forks to attain the semi-racer styling. In 1964 came the GT model which turned the heads of passers-by. Clip-on handlebars, rear sets, alloy mudguards, racing style seat and tank made these models very attractive bikes.

Turbo Twin 1964-66, Villiers 4T 249cc, 2-stroke twin, 298lb, 70mph
Using the Crusader frame, the rest of the parts from the Clipper, Enfield used the Villiers twin cylinder engine with 4 speed box to make a lovely looking bike. Breaking away from the casquette they fitted a separate headlamp shell on this model. Lack of torque meant more frequent gear changing, but the handling was improved by the lower centre of gravity.

Model G 1933-55, 346cc, ohv single, 350lb, 80mpg, 74mph
Enfield’s brilliant traditional British single started life in 1933 with a rigid rear end and girder forks. This proved very good until the 1950's when the Bullet G2 came along with swinging arm.
There was also a model J which was the similar but with a 500cc engine. The original colour was black but later more flamboyance was required. It was a ride to work, work horse in it's day that later ran along side the Bullet with it's swinging arm suspension. The bullet should of seen the end of the "G", but the works at Redditch had so many engines and frames for the "G" they ran the two models together until 1955 when the "G" was finally dropped from the range, The 350 model "G" was also the model that the WD/CO 350cc models were based on.

Bullet G21949-62, 346cc, ohv single, 350lb, 80mpg, 74mph
Enfield’s brilliant traditional British single started life in 1933 but was revised to restart production after the war. Pre-unit engine with the gearbox bolted directly to the back of the engine giving a compact design. The oil tank for the dry sump was cast into the rear half of the engine and the gearbox on the road models has a neutral selector. The frame was a traditional duplex design with a single top and down tube, but fitted with a swinging arm rear suspension. Front forks were standard Enfield hydraulic design and drum brakes were fitted front and rear. Fitted with a single sprung saddle, two tool boxes in the side panels, two stands and dynamo powered lighting system with battery. Dual seat option became available in 1952. 1954 saw a styling change and improved rear suspension. 1955 revised gearbox with concentric gear lever and kick-start lever, dual front brakes in a full width hub and dual seat as standard. 1956 saw a revised frame which dropped the under-engine cradle. The bottom half of the engine became universal between the two capacities and the dynamo was replaced with an alternator. New tank mountings were introduced and a folding kick-start pedal. 1960 saw a new headlight casquette housing speedometer, ammeter, light switch, dual side lights and a switch from magneto to coil ignition.

Bullet JS 1953-62, 499cc, ohv single, 370lb, 91mph
Basically the same as the 350cc model but with the larger 500cc capacity. The frame had a strengthened swinging arm and sidecar lugs, plus a bigger rear brake. This model is worth having but has a heavy clutch and poor braking on pre-55 models to go with the normal amount of vibration. 1959 a 7" single front brake was fitted, but reverted back to the 6" twin hub after one year and a switch from magneto to coil ignition. 1960 saw a larger petrol tank on the familiar bullet 500.

Bullet Classic 1977-today, 346cc, ohv single, 358lb, 80mpg, 70mph & 1989-today, 499cc, 358lb, 70mpg, 80mph, 370lb
Manufacture of the Bullet G2 was allowed under license in India from 1956 in Madras. The basic 350cc model introduced into the UK in 1977 was a relic from the past with very few modifications restricted mainly to the electrics and with indicators fitted as a concession to modern times. The paint and chrome left a lot to be desired. 1981 saw the indicators dropped from the range. Imports stopped in 1985 and restarted in 1987 with improved paint and 12v electrics. 1989 saw the 499cc model launched in the UK. 1994 saw a takeover by the Eicher Group, an Indian owned truck and tractor manufacturer, introducing pressure die casting for engine cases and CNC machining with every engine being bench tested, which led to oil tightness and improved finish, although the gold pin striping is still done by hand.

Bullet Sixty-5 2003-today, 499cc, ohv single, 400lb, 75mpg, 85mph, 375lb
Upgraded 500 model with revised 5 speed gearbox and left shift, emission tuned engine, revised ribbed seat and an electric start using a reliable Japanese Denso unit, discreetly mounted in front of the cylinder. Large improvement with extra HP and less vibration.

500 Twin 1948-58, 496cc, ohv twin, 390lb, 60mpg, 85mph
First of the twin models released after the war which followed the basic design principles of Enfield bikes. Using the bullet frame and running parts. Easy starting, good handling and engine performance made for a good smooth bike. Not many sold in the UK. 1954 the twin was fitted with new headlight casquette housing speedometer, ammeter, light switch, dual side lights and an option of mag-dyno. 1955 Dual front brakes helped it's stopping characteristics, the mag-dyno became standard, revised frame and the gearbox adopted the concentric gear shift and kick-start layout. A Quickly Detachable rear wheel became optional, but this was dropped in 1956 in favour of a full width rear hub. 1957 Alternator electrics replaced the dynamo and a, Monobloc carburetor fitted.

Meteor Minor 1959-63, 496cc, ohv twin, 370lb, 60mpg, 90mph
Developed from the ‘500 twin’, the small twin is a good machine which goes well and has good handling. Using existing parts from other models to keep down the production costs, many of the parts are from the Bullet. Available in Standard with single saddle and Deluxe with dual seat, QD rear wheel and full chain guard.. Engine modifications included a short stroke design, bigger valves and separate cylinder castings, which allowed the use of common parts from other models. Some vibration at top speeds and inclined to weave on bends. A good touring bike with cruising speed of 70mph.

Super Meteor 1952-62, 692cc, ohv twin, 410lb, 55mpg, 100mph
The US market demanding bigger models brought the introduction of the Super Meteor. Excellent twin with good looks, road holding and also reliability. Development of the Meteor engine but has a stronger crank and clutch. The 700cc came from using the bottom end of the Meteor and two x 350cc bullet top half. Good excess of torque and smoother performance. The frame of the Meteor had to be strengthened to take the bigger engine. Dual seat as standard. Cruising speed of 80mph was comfortable. 1954 fitted with new headlight casquette housing speedometer, ammeter, light switch and dual side lights. 1955 Revised frame and the gearbox adopted the concentric gear shift and kick-start layout, also increase compression ratio to 7.25 with mag-dyno and Monobloc carb. As with the twin a QD rear wheel became optional, but this was dropped in 1956 in favour of a full width rear hub.

Constellation 1959-62, 692cc, ohv twin, 435lb, 65mpg, 105mph
The Constellation was a race-bred sports version of the Super Meteor with twin Monobloc carbs giving better styling and handling, at the expense of reliability and speed. The dynamically balanced crank reduced the vibration. Extra capacity achieved by lengthening the stroke.

Interceptor MkI 1962-68, 736cc, ohv twin, 435lb, 65mpg, 110mph
The Interceptor featured a much beefed up engine, which combined with its dynamically balanced crank made it relatively smooth and sophisticated compared to rival Brits. Frame and cycle parts of the Constellation, but fitted with a standard mudguard rather than rear enclosure. Capable of 90mph cruising. 1963 Deluxe model had 12v electrics with alternator. 1965 the Standard model was dropped and the US specification became standard, with wider rear tyre, longer wheelbase and girling rear suspension units gave better stability at high speed. Separate headlamp unit replaced casquette. Option of US style bars in the UK. 1966 the Interceptor was not available in the UK, but recommenced in 1967 but now with coil ignition, concentric carbs and individual exhausts.

Interceptor MkII 1969/70, 736cc, ohv twin, 442lb, 60mpg, 112mph
A redesign of the old engine which made it exceptionally reliable. The series 2 had true wet sump engine, only spoilt by weak gearbox, primary drive and clutch. Exceptionally good looks, a broad power range with no oil leaks and good handling make this a bike worth having. 1970 the optional air cleaner, oil cooler, skid plate, and seat rail became standard.

Rickman Interceptor 1970/71, 736cc, ohv twin, 442lb, 60mpg, 112mph
The Rickman version combining the Mettise frame with the proven MkII engine unit was perfect but arrived too late. Disk brakes front and rear with alloy rims enhanced the package. The frame was built of Reynolds 531 tubes and were brazed to avoid the tensions that arise from the temperatures the welding process. Afterwards, the frames were nickel plated.
