1960 ROYAL ENFIELD 700 SUPER METEOR AND BUILT TO LOOK LIKE AN EARLY MK1A INTERCEPTOR USING INTERCEPTOR PIPES AND SEAT.ENGINE HAD BEEN COMPLETELY REBUILT WHEN I BOUGHT THE BIKE AS AN INDULGENCE IN 2022 AND HAS ONLY DONE ABOUT 500 MILES SINCE THEN SO JUST ABOUT RUN IN.THE FRAME IS FROM A 1960 BIKE AND THE ENGINE FROM 1959 SO ON AN AGE RELATED THREE LETTER/THREE NUMBER PLATE.IT WAS A BIT OF A SOD TO START WHEN I GOT THE BIKE AND DOING A BIT OF RESEARCH IT TURNS OUT THAT THEY WERE THE SAME FROM NEW IF FITTED WITH THE LUCAS SR2 MAGNETO WHICH THIS ONE HAS SO DECIDED THE BEST OPTION WAS TO FIT A THORSPARK ELECTRONIC IGNITION PACK THAT USES THE MAGNETO BODY AND ROTOR TO OPERATE IT ALONG WITH BATTERY AND COIL.NOW IT STARTS EASILY HOT OR COLD AFTER A COUPLE OF PRIMER KICKS WITH THE IGNITION OFF.THE MOTOR IS STRONG AND PULLS WELL AND TROTS ALONG HAPPILY AT 60-70 MPH.

THE FRONT END IS LATER INDIAN ENFIELD WITH A TWIN LEADING SHOE FRONT BRAKE AND BOTH WHEELS AND HUBS,NEW WHEN FITTED, ARE LACED WITH STAINLESS SPOKES.IT HAS A GT CONTINENTAL TYPE HEADLIGHT CASQUETTE WITH FLYSCREEN AND 60mm SPEEDO AND REVCOUNTER AND A STEERING DAMPER.TYRES WERE NEW IN 2021 WHEN THE BIKE WAS PUT TOGETHER AND STILL LOOK IT.

ALL OTHER ELECTRICS HAVE BEEN UPDATED TO 12v AND A MODERN SOLID STATE REGULATOR/RECTIFIER IS FITTED AND SHOWS OVER 14 VOLTS WHEN ENGINE IS RUNNING. BIKE IS FITTED WITH MODERN DAY TURN INDICATORS.

THE TANK IS PAINTED IN PEACOCK BLUE WHICH WAS A COLOUR CHOICE FOR ANYONE BUYING A NEW R.E. IN THOSE DAYS AND I THINK YOU`LL AGREE MAKES THE BIKE LOOK VERY STYLISH.

I AM ONLY SELLING AS I HAVE TO HAVE A NEW KNEE SOON SO KICKERS WILL BE OFF THE AGENDA FOR SOME TIME TO COME.

ANY QUESTIONS ETC THEN GIVE ME A RING ON 07796617119 AND I`LL TRY TO ANSWER THEM.BIKE IS LOCATED NEAR YORK,NORTH YORKSHIRE.

THERE IS NO RESERVE ON WHAT IS ESSENTIALLY A VIRTUALLY NEW BIKE.

CASH ON COLLECTION PLEASE.

5/5/24 just been out on the Enfield and covered about 50 miles and it ran beautifully and started first kick after stopping for tea and cake,Got to say i wont be disappointed if it does not sell and after riding it again will be happy to keep it if thats the case until my new knee settles in.
