1971 Diesel Royal Enfield Bullet ride – A legend that went around the world
Just had the privilege to ride Batty, a 1971 Royal Enfield Bullet with a 10HP Yanmar L100 diesel engine.
She just got back from a 50,000 miles around the world tour which took 2 years and has been to the highest road in the world in the Himalayas. She even ran all the way to Nepal on 70% vegetable oil.
As far as Harry the owner knows, it is the first Diesel motorbike to circumnavigate the globe.
