Prototype Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) Hi guys Just bit more interested in Royal Enfield trials these days. I would like know more about Royal Enfield Bullet HNP 331 ridden by Johnny Brittain in 1957 in SSDT. Interested to know what engine/frame etc modification were done to this bike. any more picture will be nice Found very rare interesting video able to locate Royal Enfield Trials HNP 332 ?. at 33:57 on the trailer.

laird387 Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Hi bsa4life, HNP 331 was a series of bikes, since it was one of the registrations used by the Competition shop at Redditch and fitted to whatever works machine Johnny Brittain was riding at the time, therefore there were rigid Bullet versions, then various swinging arm versions, then early Crusaders even through to the very last plastic-tanked Crusaders, all bearing the HNP 331 plate. Most of them are already illustrated in ORRe. Over the years there were HNP 330, 331 and 332 - but also many more whilst Royal Enfield were very active in competition - but only Johnny carried his own sort of 'personalised' plate over the years. The film that you found was one of the excellent productions of C H Wood, also famously involved in the development of the Scott trial. The filming and photography was Clarrie's day job, the motorcycling was his dominant hobby. There are many fine examples of his work in ORRe - and many more still to come. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axulsuv Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Just for fun , check out http://blackcatvintagetrials.com/, Do a little poking about and you'll find the coolest RE bullit ever ! (IMHO) . If I remember correctly , it was a works bike at one time ... But has been loved into the coolest 2 wheeled John Deer I've ever got to swing a leg over . Tony does do some fantastic work .... Glenn 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
