Carberry Motorcycles deals in handbuilt motorcycles with Royal Enfield inspired body design and part sharing with the vintage brand. The production was halted in 2011 in Australia while brand resurrection started in 2017. Australia's custom Royal Enfield bike builder has now officially released details on its first-hand made1000 cc V-Twin Royal Enfield engine. For those who know about the company, the builder produced custom 1000 cc V-Twin engines based on 500 cc RE units and moved operations to India for an easier manufacturing process. Started by Paul Carberry, the first India-made Carberry 1000 cc V-Twin cruiser will be revealed later this year.

Paul Carberry and Jaspreet Singh Bhatia have formed Dream Engines and Manufacturers to bring Carberry Double Barrel to India. It uses two 499cc Royal Enfield engines that are combined to get an actual output of a litre class V-Twin engine. The long 90mm stroke offers smooth low-end torque, impressive exhaust note and minimum vibrations. The engine comes with UCE cylinder heads and 5-speed gearbox as standard. The cost brings all new high strength frame, 7 plate clutch and high strength chain mechanism. The example built in Australia before 2011 are successfully running without any major hassle.

This makes the fact clear that reliability won’t be an issue on 1000cc V-Twin Double Barrel. They have no direct relation to Royal Enfield while their older bikes were sold with a moniker of Carberry Enfield as they have an official part sharing license with Royal Enfield motorcycles globally. The engine used here is good for 52.2 HP and 82 Nm of massive torque, perfectly synchronizing the power of two engines into one without getting any loss. If a standard cruiser is not your type, buying just the engine and putting it inside another body type is also a possibility from Carberry.

Carberry further reveals that the oil capacity stands at 3.7 litres, whereas the lifters and oil pumps run in their own housings, protecting the engine cases from wear and tear. The custom builder says that the motor will provide linear power delivery throughout the rev range and the old school design is appropriate for custom builds. The exhaust system is not a part of the engine setup as the same is frame dependent. 

For those looking to order the engine, Carberry Motorcycles is yet to get the requisite clearances from ARAI and the engine is currently available for existing Carberry bikes, exports or for display purposes. The Carberry 1000 cc V-Twin engine will be liked by custom builders looking for an old school motor that is easy to work upon. However, for those looking at picking up the complete bike, the builder has announced that the bikes will arrive later this year but we are not sure when in Nepal with all the certifications in place.
