it is a very good bike comes to performance but maintenance cost, mileage, and overheating gives you uncomfortable experience with it. Bullet 500 is just a pride to own and ride with it not for daily commute.

Royal Enfield Bullet 500 Highlights
Essentially for the true-blue Bullet fan…who's not exactly on a tight budget
Bullet 500 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.
Bullet 500 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.
Royal Enfield Bullet 500 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.
