Royal Enfield 1932 Model 1120 cc

                                            Model : Royal Enfield KX 1120 cc

                           The largest capacity engine RE has ever made.

 

 Predominantly built to be an ideal side car machine. These were built to be leisurely cruisers to take the family in tow.

 

 The last word in luxury motorcycling’ was how Royal Enfield headlined the Model K in their 1938 sales brochure. It was powered by a mighty 1,140cc, side-valve, twin-cylinder engine with totally enclosed valve gear and Royal Enfield’s dry-sump lubrication system.

This powerful unit combined with a heavyweight, four-speed, hand-controlled gearbox to ensure that the Model K with standard ratios was ideal for both sidecar and solo use. Lucas 6 volt Magdyno lighting was standard as was black enamel finish with gold lining.

 The top-of-the-range Model KX featured detachable and interchangeable wheels and was marketed in solo form at £77/10s ‘or by gradual payments’.

In solo form the KX boasted 80mph performance and 65mpg economy at touring speeds. Remarkably the KX was one of no less than 18 different models marketed by Royal Enfield in the 1938 season.

 Note: This motorcycle was recently sold for close to 30,000 $ in the UK
