Bit unhappy

3.8

It's been more than 2 years since I bought my bike. overall I am very happy with the bike, however the service side I am a bit unhappy. There are rarely any good service centers for the RE. The customer care and service side after the bike sale should be improved. Currently done 22k Kms and getting a mileage of 40kmpl approximately. Longest ride in a day was done from Pune to Nandyal approx 720kms and was happy with the ride.

Q. Which one is best for fuel Royal Enfield Bullet 500 or Classic 350?
  • The ARAI claimed mileage of Royal Enfield Classic 350 is 40.8 kmpl. On the other hand, the Royal Enfield Bullet 500 has been discontinued and is no longer available for sale in the market.
  • It is obviously the 350 but I didn't find major difference and ride asthetics are quite better on 500
Q. Can I change my 500cc black classic in steel black fully?
  • For this, we would suggest you to please connect with the nearest authorized service center as they would be able to assist you better. Follow the link and select your desired city for service centers.
  • The best option is to get vinyl wrapping. Else you may have to get the colour alteration certificate from the RTO to get this done. As it is illegal to change the original colour of the bike.
  • Ohh yes, I am on a similar project with my chestnut classic, completely making it a black edition. The beauty about Royal Enfield is you can get it modified into anything you want as the machine is designed in a simple way understandable to a lame man

Q. Is there any chances for Bullet to release 500 or 650cc Bullet in BS6 variant!?
  • I don't think so, I think they are going to focus on meteor and classics for their touring bikes segment
  • No. They released a last version and took the decision to discontinue the model.
  • There is a lot of chances of their coming because there can hardly be an ignition like this. It's a war machine in itself
