Overview

Royal Enfield Bullet C5 Classic EFI

Armed with a potent fuel injected 500cc engine and clothed in a disarmingly appealing post war styling, this promises to be the most coveted Royal Enfield in history. For those who want it all. The power, the fuel efficiency, the reliability and simple, yet drop dead gorgeous classic styling. The classic turns heads not because it wants to but because it can’t help it. You will appreciate the beat not just for the music it creates but also for the muted feeling of strength and power that it signifies. The view is simply better when you are astride a Royal Enfield Classic 500 – whether moving or still. Nothing more to be said. Harking back to the ‘G2’ Bullet of the early 1950's, Royal Enfield’s newest model retains the British style that is inextricably linked to the world’s oldest motorcycle manufacturer.

At its heart is the all-new 500cc unit construction engine (UCE), with electronic fuel injection, which replaces the 4-speed iron-barrelled motor that had been in continuous production for over 50 years.

With its highly polished and detailed engine cases, 18” Wheels and two-tone paint scheme the Bullet Classic exudes authentic charm and the exhaust note won’t disappoint either. Solo saddle as standard, with dual seat and pillion seat pad options.

Available in a choice of maroon, black, classic green, battle green and NEW desert storm. Experience one of the greatest traditions in motorcycling history in a whole new way. The Bullet G5 Classic is a completely modern, fuel-injected, low-maintenance motorcycle built in the image of the world-famous 1955 Bullet Classic. Its striking one-color style and hand-painted pinstripes pop with vintage authenticity, but this is not your father's Bullet. The fully-integrated unit construction engine offers unprecendented fuel economy, higher cruising speeds, and the latest emissions stanards.
