MODEL SUMMARY.
WOW ! Truly delightful Royal Enfield Bullet Classic 500 EFi ‘Lewis Leathers’ Limited Edition. 2017 17 Registered in the unique Lewis Leathers Edition colours of Black with Black/White Chequered Graphics
2700 miles with it’s stamped service book, service bills/invoices and all books/documents/keys present. Just had Motul 5100 15w/50 ester based semi synthetic lube service with filter, and was franchised dealer serviced in April 2019. Excellent matching Avon RoadRiders fitted
Based upon the Bullet 500 Classic Chrome with Electronic Fuel Injection (EFi) and combination electric or kick start, just 50 of these Limited Edition bikes were produced, and this one is no. 9 of the run. All were numbered individually on the fuel tank as can be seen in the photo (s)
At the time of production, Lewis Leathers also launched a bespoke limited range of leather goods all dedicated to the Royal Enfield range. The affiliation thus assisted both companies in increasing brand awareness for their products within the motorcycling community, and quite successfully too
The idea of a collaboration between Royal Enfield and Lewis Leathers, established in 1899 and 1892 respectively, names synonymous with British motorcycle manufacture and associated apparel, came about through vintage style aficionado Nick Clements, (www.nickclements.co.uk) of The Royal College of Art (London) Both Royal Enfield and Lewis Leathers were keen to jointly celebrate the continuing evolvement and enduring success of the single cylinder 500 Bullet model, and the resulting bike featured a particularly eye catching paint scheme and graphics, along with high quality, beautifully finished embossed Lewis Leathers panniers/saddlebags and a two tone leather seat
The model also featured a performance enhancing upswept exhaust, which is supplied, but on our particular bike this has been replaced by a Hitchcock’s system which sounds quite superb, suitably amplifying the nature of the ‘thumper’ single’s note, and which the previous owner confirms heightens performance further. The exhaust features a removable baffle, which is currently fitted, easily removed if so required. Our bike also features a custom white faced stem nut clock, starter motor cover and bar ends, all supplied by Hitchcock’s Motorcycles Limited with the paperwork present
In terms of overall condition, this bike has very clearly been the total pride and joy of it’s previous owner. Essentially unmarked, and all but pristine, it is absolutely lovely. A bike of much character, that will of course appeal to a certain type of motorcyclist and their needs. One thing is for sure, it will always turn heads, and smiles and waves are assured from onlookers. All books/documents/keys present
