Royal Enfield have been producing motorcycles for over 100 years. Over this time, there are certain model names that have been reused through multiple eras (The Bullet, Interceptor, Continental GT, Meteor, and Super Meteor to name a few). When ordering replacement parts or accessories, it is important that you identify the correct model of Royal Enfield, and year of manufacture. The list below gives a brief overview of the Royal Enfield models of the “modern era”.
If you require any help identifying your Royal Enfield, please e-mail us directly with some clear photographs of the bike, and we will be happy to assist: info@hitchcocksmotorcycles.com

650 Shogun (2024 - onwards)The Shogun shares the 648cc parallel-twin engine and main frame with the Super Meteor 650, but the rest of the motorcycle has been revised to offer an alternative style cruiser.
452 Himalayan (2024 - onwards)A whole a new platform for Royal Enfield featuring a 452cc water cooled DOHC engine. 6-speed box, large colour TFT screen, and different ride modes are just a few of the features.

![350 Bullet](/royal-enfield-bullet-350-standard-maroon_1.jpg)
350 Bullet, J Platform (2023 - onwards)The Bullet name is used once again, this time within the 350 J Platform. The traditional “Bullet” looks are retained, but with a modern design.
650 Super Meteor (2023 - onwards)The Super Meteor name was first used by Royal Enfield from 1956-1963, however this later type shares very little resemblance. It is a cruiser style motorcycle and shares the same 648 parallel air cooled twin engine from the 650 Interceptor.
![650 Super Meteor](/650-Super-Meteor3.jpg)
![350 Hunter](/hunter.jpg)
350 Hunter, J Platform (2022 - onwards)In some markets this model is also referred to as the “HNTR”. It features a one piece seat and typically comes supplied with a blacked out engine and exhaust system.
411 Scram (2022 - onwards)The Royal Enfield Scram is a stripped back version of the hugely successful Himalayan. It has a more street-based focus with styling and design to suit the urban environment. It utilises the 411cc air cooled Euro 5 engine from the Himalayan and is A2 licence compliant.

![350 Classic Reborn](/350-classic.jpg)
350 Classic Reborn, J Platform (2021 - onwards)The Classic 350 Reborn is a modern interpretation of the classic Royal Enfield machines. It has the same J series 349cc, SOHC engine as used in the popular Meteor. It has all of the classic looks along with the benefits of the latest design and engineering.
350 Meteor, J Platform (2021 - onwards)A single cylinder cruiser style motorcycle, revitalising another Royal Enfield name of the past. At the heart of the Meteor is the all-new air-oil cooled, 349cc, SOHC engine. Although the Meteor has the feel of a cruiser it’s equally at home as a city bike or enjoyed on B road journeys.

411 HIMALAYAN (2018 - 2024)
The 411cc Himalayan is Royal Enfield's first attempt in the adventure bike class, and what a good job they have done! Introduced in India in 2016 as a carburettor model, but not until 2018 for the export market. The European export models all have antilock brakes and fuel injection. Originally available in 2 colours - Granite or Snow, the colour range has expanded over the years and we have seen more than 10 options. 21” wheel at the front, 17” wheel at the back but very easy to recognise as it looks like no other Royal Enfield.
650 Interceptor (2019 - onwards)
Using a legendary name from its past, Royal Enfield have based this model on a new platform for 2019 and utilises a 650cc parallel twin engine. The engine is an overhead cam type but remains air cooled to keep that traditional look. Available in a multitude of colours and in some countries is referred to as the “INT 650”. The frame is a duplex type and all 650 Interceptors are fitted with ABS brakes as standard. The riding position is an upright style as standard .

![650 Continental GT](/650-Continental-GT.jpg)
650 Continental GT (2019 - onwards)
Sharing similar looks to the older 535 GT, this café racer style bike is based on a new platform for 2019 and utilises a 650cc parallel twin engine as used on the 650 Interceptor. The engine is an overhead cam type but remains air cooled to keep that traditional look. The bikes are available in a multitude of colours including changes to the wheel colour. The frame is a duplex type and all 650 Continental GT’s are fitted with ABS brakes as standard.
Continental GT (2013 - 2018)
Royal Enfield's 535cc cafe racer, using a duplex frame with the same externally looking single cylinder unit construction engine as the C5 and B5 models. Fitted with front and rear disc brakes for the entire life cycle with ABS being fitted to the later year bikes. As standard, available in red, black, green, yellow and makes for a great basis to personalise.

![500 B5 Bullet EFI](/identifyBulletBFive.jpg)
500 B5 Bullet EFI (2011 - 2021)
This model has been in production since 2011 and uses the fuel injected 500 UCE engine. Just because this is also known as the "Bullet", do not assume that all Bullet parts will fit. Early models were available only in a black colour scheme, but over the years there have been many variations. Look out for the winged tank badges, squared off rear mudguard/ tubular rear mudguard stays and unit construction engine. There were some significant changes during 2017 for the “Euro 4” version, the easiest identification is the change from the rear drum brake to a disc brake.
500 C5 Classic EFI (2009 - 2021)
This has been in production since 2009, and uses the 500 fuel injected UCE engine. A true retro style, available in various colours as well as chrome. Again, it has the triangular toolboxes and an oval cover on the right side just in front. It has the tubular rear mudguard stays that follow the rounded shape of the mudguard. There were some significant changes during 2017 for the “Euro 4” version, the easiest identification is the change from the rear drum brake to a disc brake.
![500 C5 Classic EFI](/identifyBulletClassicEFI.jpg)
500 Electra EFI (2008-2012) Also known as the E5 or G5
This 500cc model was produced between 2008 and 2012. It was the first export model with the unit construction engine (500 UCE) and first fuel injected Royal Enfield model. Available in various colours as well as chrome. These are easily recognisable by the shape of the side panels and the unit construction.
500 Electra X (2004 - 2008)
Not to be confused with the Electra model for the Indian market. The Electra X is the only export model to have the Leanburn engine (AVL). Available only as a 500cc it had an alloy cylinder barrel as standard, separate 5 speed gearbox and the exhaust pipe is retained to the cylinder head by 2 nuts. First model with disc brake on front wheel as standard.
Sixty 5 (2002 - 2006)
Based on the "original export Cast Iron Bullet", this was the first model with a combined 5 speed gearbox and electric start. Produced between 2002 and 2006 and only as a 500cc, it still has the cast iron barrel and push in exhaust pipe and would have the "Sixty 5" transfers on the toolboxes.
Bullet 350 + 500 (1977 - 2007)
The original "export" 350 Bullet was first imported into the UK in 1977 and was the old cast iron barreled engine with 4 speed gearbox. The 500 was first manufactured in 1989 and until 1999 all Bullets were called "Enfield". From 1999 to 2007 they have been known as "Royal Enfield". They were available in the later years with 5 speed gearbox and electric start options (and a left shift 4 speed gearbox in some countries). The exhaust pipe on all these models pushes into the cylinder head without being retained by 2 nuts as the later models.

What is a Euro-5?
Mid way through 2021, we saw the introduction of what we call “Euro 5” emission standards for Royal Enfield motorcycles in the UK. Whilst these standards are not used worldwide, this was introduced into Europe at the same time and is likely to be phased into other demographic areas over time.
The higher the emission standard, the more stringent the requirements are for the bike. To achieve this, manufacturers often have to run the bikes in a lean condition with additional emissions equipment.
What is a Euro-4?
In 2017 all new imports into Europe of Royal Enfields needed to meet new regulations called Euro-4. If your bike was first registered in 2017 it does not necessarily mean it was imported in 2017. Importers/ dealers often have large stocks and have to order a long way in advance so many bike sold in 2017 may not be up to Euro-4 specification. There are lots of changes but one more obvious is the introduction of ABS, easily spotted on the B5 and C5 by having a rear disc brake, on the GT look for the ABS module behind the engine.
