Royal Enfield unveiled their all-new BULLET 500 CLASSIC at Intermot in Cologne on 7th October 2008.
Its predecessor, the 4-speed iron-barrelled 500cc Bullet, had been in continuous production for over 50 years and the original Royal Enfield Bullet was created in 1932, so this new model has an impressive heritage that stretches back over 76 years.
Harking back to the ‘G2’ Bullet of the early 1950's, Royal Enfield’s newest model retains the quintessential British style that is inextricably linked to the world’s oldest motorcycle manufacturer.
At the heart of the new Bullet 500 Classic is an all-new 500cc Unit Construction Engine (UCE), with electronic fuel injection that is homologated for tough Euro III emission standards. Frame and bodywork are new too.
This new model will be on display at the NEC Bike Show Nov 28 - Dec 2, 2008 and is expected to be in UK showrooms early in 2009.
