    Can any body help me identify what model my Royal enfield is ?

    Im thinking of selling the old girl to fund a new supermoto for the winter but i can't list it on Ebay as I'm not 100% what model it is .

    Iv asked about and no body is sure . Posted online and didn't have many replies .

    Most people say it is a Clipper but pics of clippers look different to me .

    Im hoping maybe somebody's old man may have had one or possibly recognises it from they're younger days .

    Mind you, on pre 70's bikes it was a bit mix and match.

    Mycarcheck.com shows it as a Royal Enfield bike but you have to pay to see what else they've got on it. May be worth a wazz up to DVLA in your lunch hour mate.
