Royal Enfield : The bike that stirs the soul

The Royal Enfield Bullet has for decades been the byword for rugged, refined cool and a bike handcrafted to perfection. The Bullet Classic 500 was unveiled by Royal Enfield at Intermot exhibition in Germany. They have already launched this mouthwatering classic version of its legendary motorcycle abroad. Bullet Classic was first launched in Germany followed by European launch. It is expected that it is going to be launched in India on 4th November, 2009.

Inspiration :

The " Bullet" has been the longest running model in continuous production since 1932.

Now, in the 77th year, in its "classic" form it has donned a younger look resplendent with styling cues one would expect only from a genuine Royal Enfield; single cylinder air cooled pushrod engine, 1950's style with nacelle and toolboxes, traditional pain scheme and buffed engine components.

The authentic vintage styling and striking one-color appearance truly sets it apart from others in the motorcycle market. The UCE design is inspired by the 'clipper 250'- a popular integrated Royal Enfield engine of yesteryears.

The front and rear mudguards, the headlight casing, the fuel tank, the oval tool box, the exhaust fins, the speedometer dials, the single-seat spring saddle, tail light assembly and the headlamp cap, all these conform to the native British motorcycles in the aftermath of World War II.
