Royal Enfield was an British motorcycle manufacturer founded in 1896. In 1901, the company introduced its first motorcycle, and would become well known for not only their products, but their racing exploits. Notable Royal Enfield models include the Model G, Interceptor, and Super Meteor. Eventually Royal Enfield ceased production, and the company folded in 1971, but recently the Indian motorcycle company has been selling motorcycles under the Royal Enfield name.
