Latest On Royal Enfield Bullet 500
March 5, 2017:
Royal Enfield has updated the Bullet 500 with fuel injection (FI) system as opposed to carburettor as seen on the older bike. The FI system has been added to make the bike BS-IV emission norm compliant and this will most likely increase the price by Rs 5,000 to Rs 7,000. The FI version motorcycle hasn't reached dealerships yet but we expect it to hit showrooms soon.
The Bullet 500 is one of the least expensive 500cc motorcycles that one can buy in India. It is a fusion of classic, charming looks and modern technology. The bike is equipped with a 499cc Unit Construction Engine with a 33mm constant vacuum carburettor. The powerplant produces 40.9 Nm of torque at just 3,800 rpm and the transmission duty is taken care by a five-speed, constant mesh gearbox.

Our Verdict
The Bullet 500 is one motorcycle that’s at home for both grocery runs and long rides on the highway. Carburetted engine means it is relatively simpler than the fuel-injected counterparts and is easier to maintain as well.

Royal Enfield Bullet 500 Highlights
Essentially for the true-blue Bullet fan…who's not exactly on a tight budget
Design and Features
Royal Enfield’s retro design ethos have worked well for the company and the Bullet 500 is as authentic as it gets. The Bullet 500 gets the signature Royal Enfield fuel tank, a stepped single seat, spoked 19-inch wheels and a chrome battery box. There is generous use of chrome on the exhaust, mudguards and headlamp bezel to add to its retro look.
Specifications
The Bullet 350 comes with a 346cc air-cooled and carburetted single-cylinder motor that puts out 20.07PS at 5,250rpm and 28Nm at 4000rpm, delivered to the rear wheel via a 5-speed gearbox. Its suspension setup comprises of conventional forks up front and twin shock absorbers at the rear. Despite the retro design, it comes with electric start and a disc brake up front. It weighs 194kg (kerb) and has a 13.5-litre fuel tank.
Competitors
Mahindra Mojo: The Mojo makes for a good tourer, thanks to its comfortable ergonomics, good ride quality and performance from its 300cc liquid-cooled motor. It might not handle as well as the competition, but when it comes to travelling long distances at a stretch, the Mojo acquits itself quite well.
Bajaj Dominar 400: When it comes to performance, the Dominar is ahead of the competition, thanks to its 375cc liquid-cooled and fuel-injected single that makes 35PS of power. It also handles better than the competition, though the stiff suspension setup is not conducive to long-distance touring, especially on our bad roads.
ZigSays
If you are in the market for a classic on a budget, it does not get any more real than this. The slow-revving torquey motor and old-school vibes are guaranteed to give you a bout of nostalgia every time you ride one.
