A typical Twenties commuter motorcycle, this classic bike probably gives over 100mpg. These little 250cc machines were very popular, with low running costs, ease of service and quite good construction. The large-diameter external flywheel on this Royal Enfield helps to smooth out the characteristic erratic running that 2-strokes have at low revs.
