Royal Enfield is a manufacturing company that’s been around since 1893. The company started out as a manufacturer of bicycles, but in 1901 they built their first motorcycle. Royal Enfield motorcycles were originally manufactured in England, but over time the company’s base of operations has shifted and they are now an Indian company.In 1939 the company introduced a single cylinder, 350cc motorcycle called the Bullet that became one of their more popular bikes. Over the years the company improved the bike and increased the engine size, but it was the 350cc Bullet engine that was the basis for the Royal Enfield Musket.
Growing up in India Aniket Vardhan was inspired by the sound of a Harley Davidson he heard as a small boy . He held on to that inspiration as he studied industrial design and dreamed of building his own V-Twin Enfield using two 350cc Bullet engines. The result of that inspiration and dream is a bike that Vardhan calls the Royal Enfield Musket. Paul Crowe over at thekneeslider.com brought this project to light, and Aniket has created his own website to publicize the Musket. The site tells the story of the Musket, and has video/audio of a bike and sound you won’t soon forget.
