Design: Royal Enfield Bullet 350 looks quite the same as its previous generations and offers a relaxed riding posture. The manufacturer has retained its iconic look which surely offers a strong sense of nostalgia. The bike typically resembles old school British motorcycles. Adding to its retro appeal is the round headlight unit which is enclosed in a chrome nacelle. It retains its signature “tiger lamps”, classic-styled fuel tank with hand painted pinstripes and a contoured single-piece seat. It has a generic metal grab handle for the pillion and a long chrome exhaust.

Features: The Royal Enfield Bullet 350 continues to be a simple and straightforward motorcycle. In terms of features, it gets an analogue instrument console which is limited to speedometer and odometer readings, apart from other tell-tale lights. The amp meter has been replaced by an engine check light and low fuel warning light in its latest iteration.

Engine: The Royal Enfield Bullet 350 is powered by a single-cylinder, BS6.2-compliant 346cc, air-cooled, fuel-injected engine which produces 19.1PS and 28Nm. The engine is linked to a five-speed transmission. This is the last Royal Enfield bike that’s still powered by the company’s last generation UCE motor. The bike is built on a single-downtube-spine frame with the engine being a stressed member. It is suspended on a 35mm front-fork and five-step preload-adjustable twin rear shocks. Braking is handled by a 280mm front disc and 153mm rear drum unit. The Bullet gets a single-channel ABS, and it rolls on 19-inch spoked wheels which come with tubed tyres at both ends. The bike has a 13.5-litre fuel tank and has a kerb weight of 186kg (kick-start variant) and 191kg (Electric start variant). It has a 800mm seat height and comes with 135mm of ground clearance.

Rivals: Royal Enfield Bullet 350 competes with the likes of the Honda H’ness CB350 and Benelli Imperiale 400, however, both are more modern and considerably costlier than the Bullet 350.

Variants: Royal Enfield comes in two variants (Kick Start & Electric Start) with no differences apart from colours and starting mechanisms.
