Royal Enfield launched a limited edition motorbike at the Imperial War Museum at Duxford in May. The new bike is based on the Flying Flea used by the Parachute Regiment in World War Two. The launch event included a dramatic display from the Red Devils, war veterans from Market Garden and plenty of historic motorbikes.
Inspired by the legacy of its iconic para-drop motorcycle from World War Two - the ‘RE/ WD125’but better known as the Flying Flea, Royal Enfield, in collaboration with the Ministry of Defence, has brought out a new range of exclusive limited edition motorcycles.
The new series ‘Classic500 Pegasus’ motorcycle is produced in official association with the British Army’s Parachute Regiment and is the latest chapter in the company’s long history; Royal Enfield is the oldest motorcycle brand in continuous production, creating modern classics since 1901. The resilience of the Flying Flea led to it becoming a popular post-war model and the motorcycle has now become a symbol of simplicity and endurance in today’s context. Only 1,000 units are available globally, of which 190 will be available in UK. The motorcycle will be available to be ordered online from July, priced at £4,999 on the road.
