And:
Its not the longest running motorcycle manufacturer, it's the longest running model of motorcycle. It has been produced, first in Britain, then in India, non-stop and still in production, since 1948. Is there a model that Harley-Davidson has produced, been in production longer?Unless I'm missing something, I beg to differ....

The focus is on the "Bullet", not the "Royal Enfield".
Like Ford is not the longest-producing auto maker, but the Ford F series of truck is (I believe) the longest continued model line (I may be wrong on that, but I'm using it as an example).
Don’t quite understand your point there. It started out as a Royal Enfield Bullet and became just an Enfield Bullet when made under licence in India. Still exactly the same bike.
Folks are questioning the original post, which was that the RE "Bullet" is the bike that's been in continuous production longer than ANY OTHER MODEL, vice whether or not the Royal Enfield COMPANY has been the longest producer of motorcycles.
Hoosier posted that Harley Davidson has been around longer than Royal Enfield. He is correct.
However, the Bullet MODEL has been produced longer than any particular model that HD has produced, at least, that is what is being suggested.
The company and the model are not the same thing.
Sorry, but short of drawing a picture I don't know how else to make this more clear.
When my wife and I lived in Scotland in the early '70s, "brown sauce"was the standard accompaniment to fish chips, pie & chips, chicken & chips and all other & chips dishes. we went down to London and the fish & chips were wonderful, but nobody seemed to have any idea what brown sauce was. You got malt vinegar or nothing. I thought brown sauce was strictly a Scottish thing.
Is that a pepper slice on that hamburger?
The only place I've seen pepper slices on hamburgers is Five Guys.
And celery, yet. Who puts celery on a hamburger?
I checked Rust, and note that "Annie's Cousin Fanny" did not appear in the Parlophone New Rhythm Style Series, as did so many other contemporary Dorsey Brothers' recordings. I can't think why.So one can presume "Annie's Cousin Fanny" didn't get much BBC airplay....
