I was disappointed not to seem them on display on the Sachs stand at the MCN show. Although, probably expected. Think they would have got a bit of interest. I would have had a sit on one. I think they are very quirky.  ____________________ Like a Yorkie - I'm not for the girls  |

I wish they had done a 125, too. I would have one if the price was right. You never see them second hand, though...  ____________________ BCF's 6th favourite poster 2009-2010

Spot on! I'll eat my helmet if that isn't a royal enfield engine. How is the 500 bullet to ride? Nearly bought one, but had second thoughts about it's ability to handle motorways. The bullet 350 has got the sweetest voice of any bike ever imho. |
Wotcha.
To put it bluntly - if you use motorways frequently, don't buy a Bullet, they just ain't up to it. I must admit, I love mine, but for long distance motorway work the Kwak or trike gets used.
Funnily enough, I've just put a 500 Bullet engine back together this afternoon - new main bearings ( the original Indian ones failed 18 months ago ) frame powder coated, in fact, a general rebuild. I threw a wire to the coil, put the tank on, still with the petrol from 18 months ago, wound the engine onto compression, eased it over and swung on the kick start. Bloody Hell it started FIRST KICK. Colour me surprised, as they say It's little things like that, that make it all worthwhile - I'm still grinning like an idiot.
For more Bullet horror stories, give THIS a click.
For what it's worth, I love the sound of four stroke singles. ____________________ Cheers.

That 500 would be ace if it was jacked up, and given a decent engine. Would make an awesome alternative to mainstream supermoto bikes.
