If they are talking about the RE, it could very well be the internationally available 29Bhp Bullet!

It is the Bullet Classic 500

It is the Bullet Classic 500 cc, EFi model (sold in Europe) which will be launched in India in early November 09.

I had received an e-mail a week ago from Royal Enfield about this model (thanks to my blog which was once quite active online) and its launch.

This would be one torque monster.. but expect pricing around 1.0-1.5 lakhs rupees.

This is a portion of the mail that I had recieved..

Royal Enfield is launching their export model, the Classic 500 in India come November. The launched model will come with EFI and will be based on the Unit Construction Engine.

The bike sports a fabulous finish, great color options and will have custom rubbers made by MRF. Definitely a treat.

The pricing should be much higher - 2 lakhs on-road types considering the desi 500 goes for 1.15 these days

A few more pics of the Bullet Classic 500 from Team-Bhp.com

**prabhubravo** · 10-21-2009, 01:01 PM

I too received a similar mail, then on the call I was told that the launch will be on Nov 4 and bookings will start in 2 or 3 days from then.

**niks_devil666** · 10-21-2009, 01:03 PM

Expected launch date 4th nov. 350 cc classic UCE carbed , 500 cc Efi (1.4L on road coimbatore) . Information taken from Team bhp and the emails I got.

This has already been posted on another thread here.

@Ken : its 27bhp not 29BHP

**gsferrari** · 10-21-2009, 01:05 PM

It looks beautiful...would consider one just for how it looks. Plus the possibility to use quality tires and not the one-make nonsense RE used to pawn with it's 19" wheels before.

Not impressed with the power-plant...I think they would have been better served with a V-Twin. Even a 500cc V-Twin would have been game-changing. I think the bhp isn't the issue with enfields...never was. The inability to cruise at 100kph reliably and continuously is the main problem.

I personally prefer, they should have had provisions for mounting a pillion seat too, would make sense if someone wants to tour with a pillion or just to hang the saddle bags if toured alone.

P.S whats the purpose of the rear foot peg in the pics without a rear seat??

**niks_devil666** · 10-21-2009, 01:13 PM

ha ha ha nice catch dual disc :P

thats cause there are always provisions for such small thing on a bullet...

lets see what they launch... i am sure that the UCE units are a lot more reliable than than the older engines including the AVL's.
