She is asking way too much, but has realized that when my son sent her a blue book value on a running one. My guess is it's not running because no one has ridden it for years.

Wow. I didn't realize they still manufactured Royal Enfield's! 30+ years ago, I was involved with someone that had one. After he died, I tried to find someone to work on it and remember parts were impossible to get. I finally sold it to a family of bikers in southern Illinois. Never did hear whether they did anything with it or if it ended up in the junkpile.

I think they are now built by someone who bought the name and plans, etc.

In 1955, the Redditch company partnered Madras Motors in India in forming 'Enfield India' to assemble, under licence, the 350 cc Royal Enfield Bullet motorcycle in Chennai. Under Indian law, Madras Motors owned the majority (over 50%) of shares in the company. In 1957 tooling equipment was sold to Enfield India so that they could manufacture components.

Royal Enfield India is still manufacturing in India and is being sold in India and is also being exported to Europe as well as America and Australia. Recently Royal Enfield has undergone a major retooling particularly in the engine department going from carbureted cast iron engines to twin spark unit construction engine on all its models with EFI available on their flagship 500cc model. This retooling has sparked such an interest in these bikes that they have started double shifts at the plants.
