(aka the Citrus Capital of the World) aboard a mercilessly underpowered, somewhat skittish motorcycle that, Despite being the latest offering from the company, has not witnessed any major design changes since Eisenhower was president. Yet, I'm having an absolute ball. This dubious Euphoria is courtesy of old school 500cc, single-cylinder rattle charm and little-changed since its introduction in 1954-now known as the Royal Enfield Bullet Electra 500.

At the risk of Contributing to the maelstrom of mid-life crisis escapism so prevalent in the motorcycle industry today-with its retro machines preying on an aging demographics' sentimentality-I have to admit, the Electra X has managed to rouse a shameless whim of Nostalgia in me.

Strangely enough, the Enfield's persona as a throwback to simpler times is not the end result of a marketing department's zealous pursuit of the graying Sect desperate to revisit the long dormant fancies of their youth. Quite the Contributor. For 50-plus years, Enfield India has been pumping out an average of 30.000 bullets annually to fill the need for inexpensive, functional and reliable transportation at home, as well as many third world countries.
