Harry Potter rides a Royal Enfield motorcycle and sidecar combination in the movie Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1. The movie comes out Nov. 19.
I am indebted to Mike Werner for this information, which appears on the blog Bikes In The Fast Lane. He even has a link to the trailer there, where you can see the motorcycle in action.
It doesn't specify other than the side car in the book. Hagrid excellent taste in bikes. 8^} Of course you'll know Sirius Black lent him his Triumph to take wee Potter to the Dursley's to live. I assumed they would use the same bike for this. Glad they didn't though. 8^}

If you would like to know how old your Royal Enfield is, or just wish to have its age confirmed, please email your frame and engine numbers to Graham.Scarth01 @gmail.com Graham is happy to be of assistance in this matter to all RE owners wherever they reside. Note that you may be asked to provide photos of the number stampings, along with one of the complete machine. More information.
