Carberry "Double Barrel" - 1000cc V-twin Royal Enfield Bullet

The concept of the V-Twin was conceived by Paul Carberry and brought to fruition by Paul and Ian Drysdale (Of the Drysdale 750-V8 and 1000-V8 fame)


The basic premise was to create a classic style 1000cc British V-Twin utilising as many standard Royal Enfield parts as possible. All this to attain a well mannered torquey cruiser with the look, feel and sound expected from a bike with traditional British bloodlines but with enough technology to make it a practical every day work horse - at a reasonable price. The design premise included keeping production and maintenance costs down with a worldwide availability of spare parts.


The 55 degree vee angle was chosen for the combination of style, balance and mechanical simplicity. One consideration was to allow the hydraulic lifters to be accommodated above the standard Royal Enfield cams without modification to the barrels. Any vee angle tighter than 55 deg also requires heavy modification of the Royal Enfield heads for carburettor clearance. The standard Enfield primary drive cover has also been retained. The Enfield clutch is beefed up and a bigger engine sprocket is fitted to utilise the extra performance of the V-twin.

Nice bike - rubbish video. You're a wanker.

What a nice piece of workmanship, it takes experience and talent to build a bike worthy of everyday riding. Some complain of 50 hp, if you can ride you can make 1000 cc 50hp carry you along quite well, if you think you need more what you really need is a twistier road. When some modify a machine they want it to turn out as if the factory made it, very few are able to produce something more tractable, the factory has endless resources and dynos by the dozens. Character trumps hp, I like it.

you made the video for little kids with short attention spans yet its old geezers that like that type of bike.

[bulletman100]

well... when your cameraman sobers up and can hold the camera still on the bike for more than 5 seconds at one time, please post a video of your bike.
