This is a 350 Royal Enfield 1992 I've never ever seen one before.
This one is for sale here in NZ.

The strangest part of the bike is the fact that someone would rake and stretch this bike and put those wheels on  ???

These bikes are made in India and are notorious for a variety of issues.

        That particular engine design has been around for a number of years and available in the 350 AND 500cc configuration. If you'd like more info, check this link out. ;)

       http://www.enfieldmotorcycles.com/

       Then you can also got over to the "Community", click on it and you will find the forums. :)

        My Granddad and my Dad used to sell and service the 55' -59' Indians (rebadged Royal Enfields) and then the Royal Enfields themselves, until my Granddad died in 68'.

          Hush, My Granddad had one like it and rode it in "Off Road Events for several years (was the last motorcycle he owned & rode)

         




           And UnCrash, I agree, that big single does have quite a sound to it! 8) ;)
