Saw this one on Craig's List, while we have been busy re-importing loads of Indian badged bikes into the UK, it seems the trade is not entirely one-way.

Same model as the '57 I owned for a while. These are quite rare, less than 250 built for the 1957 season (the 350 was much more common). Parts-wise there is a lot of interchangeability with the Indian built iron barrel 500 Bullets.

I think someone here should buy it!

Yes, typnig skills seem to be in decline...

A simple mistake, really - but doesn't anyone proofread any more?

I'm rather surprised Enfield had time to make a motorcycle in 1857.

They were rather busy getting ready to make the new Enfield 1858,  2 band rifled musket for the military at that time.

Typos apart, does anyone want to buy this one? Makes me wish I'd kept mine.
