Jay Leno buys the Royal Enfield Bullet G5 Classic

Amidst his huge collection of bikes that includes a Ducati Multistrada 1200, Aprilia RSV4, BSA DBD 34 Gold Star and more there now stands a Royal Enfield Bullet G5 Classic. The Indian made two-wheeler is a 499cc 4-stroke single cylinder with an output of 27.5bhp and ample of torque numbering at 41.3Nm.

Royal Enfield was something that Jay Leno always wanted, especially from the time when he was a kid. During the time, Triumph and BSA made bikes with a displacement of 650cc and that was when the Royal Enfield brought out their Meteor and the Super Meteor of 700cc and 750cc.

The Royal Enfield Bullet G5 Classic

The host of the Tonigh Show met with the President of Royal Enfield, USA Kevin Mahoney on his online show ‘Jay Leno’s Gerage’ to discuss the company’s Classic models and was amazed after taking the bike for a spin. “I’m really amazed how little vibration there is - and at 70mph on the freeway, it’s rock steady. I’ve got a Triumph twin that vibrates a lot more,” the American television star exclaimed.

The electric start was something that really fascinated Leno, mainly for the reason that the bike kicked off with one click of the self-starter without having to rev up the engine.

Jay believes that the Bullet Classic G5 is a really fun looking bike and if you look at the Classic Bullets that the company used to make earlier, they look exactly the same, except that the new ones are mere updates in technology than the design.
