Pre-2008 Royal Enfield

Classic 350cc / 500cc

Picture
Picture
 Bullet  Classic  350cc
             
Hundreds of modifications were made to  the Bullet over the years  but, with the exception of the indicators, the Royal Enfield Classic (1998 - 2008) looked more or less the same as when it was introduced over sixty years ago. 

Why buy one ? Read a brilliant, ancient review of the "Enfield India Bullet 350 here.

Bullet  Classic 500cc

Although not significantly faster than the original 350 cc  model, or  different in appearance, the 500cc Bullet offered considerably more torque, noticeably swifter acceleration and more tractable power.  Its higher gearing  than the 350 helped the 500cc model achieve a  higher cruising  speed.
Picture

 Bullet Classic  500cc Electric Start model
    
It took 52 years for the Royal Enfield Bullet to benefit from electric  starting !  
 
Although the basic design remained unchanged over 50 years,  the addition of an electric start model (illustrated above) was only one of a number of refinements added over recent years, including up-rated 12 volt electrics, modern headlight, indicators and coil ignition plus alternator (replacing  the magneto & dynamo).  Electric starting was available only on 500 cc models.
