The Royal Enfield 500 Bullet Classic at the NEC BIke Show

The new Royal Enfield Bullet 500 Classic

The new Royal Enfield Bullet 500 Classic


Royal Enfield UK are showcasing their new Royal Enfield 500 Bullet Classic at the Carole Nash International Motorcycle & Scooter Show at the Birmingham NEC this week.

The Bullet Classic 500 is apparently designed to capture the looks and feels of a classic British bike whilst offering modern reliability and performance. Of particular note is that this model features the new EFI engine, which apparently posed a challenge for the designers in adapting the EFI components like fuel pump and injector to a motorcycle which should have a feel of a classic British machine.

However I think many will agree for the photos above that Royal Enfield UK have again managed to present this model as if it were a true classic british bike with all the benefits of modern technology, including electronic fuel injection system, catalytic converters and hydraulic pushrods, to ensure reduced maintenance and modern standards of reliability.

End of an era for Royal Enfield

The longest surviving production motorcycle in the world, the Royal Enfield Bullet Classic 350cc has reached the end of the line as far as British bikers are concerned. Stocks in the UK are down to the last 100 units and no more will be imported, killed off by ever more stringent European emissions regulations, the 1950's engine cannot be adapted to meet the new regulations.

So its a sad farewell to the Royal Enfield Bullet Classic!

Ride safe.
