Stories of Bike | Answers (’69 Royal Enfield Bullet 350 Story)
For Jonathan, the undertaking of a solo world trip on a motorcycle was never meant to be conventional.
For his jouney he chose the same make and model that his Grandfather rode; a 45 year old Redditch-built Royal Enfield Bullet 350. It may not be the most appropriate or reliable of bikes to take on such a trip. It might break down, it might struggle on some of the terrains it’ll cross, it might not be the safest way to travel.
In fact, Jonathan is counting on it so that he might travel a little slower, get to know the people he’ll meet on the way a little better and discover some answers that he’s been searching for.

I also ride a 1962 royal enfield bullet made in England, so nice to ride, people turn their heads to spot the thumping, I find the bike so appealing–That's what differentiates bullet from 21st century motorcycles……. #happy-thumping….

Born in Britain, survived in India… The Royal Enfield !!!
At least give credit to the LEGENDARY musicians who wrote the background tracks!! It's beyond me why people don't always give musicians the credit they deserve.
It's called "Take 5" by Dave Brubeck
absolutely nice
Hi Jonathan !! 😍
Hey man I'm getting goosebumps here.
I've got a '90 RE bullet. Missing it like hell.
Great video, what did you say from 5:05 thru 5:16 I cant quite pick it up. Enfields are true classics and lifelong friends. I ride a Moto Guzzi 750. Someday I will have an Enfield for a stablemate.
Older enfields has more thump than todays UCE
Nice video my Vater has also a Enfield bul. 500
there is no proper discription on tyres front and back
still slippery roads still to grip indian tyres to other countries should make to bring how longivity use of tyres usage on bullet or bike still zero level we blindly buy or after experinece the front grip and back grip i so different still documentation still un dress
