Lewis Leathers Bullet

Royal Enfield has got together with Lewis Leathers to create a very stylish version of its 500 cc Bullet Classic.

The special edition features a unique paint scheme for the tank, with the design being echoed in the mudguard and side panel graphics. It also gets a black and cream two-tone solo leather seat, plus leather panniers embossed with the Lewis Leathers logo. The final touch is an upswept sports exhaust.

Available exclusively in the UK, anyone wanting one will have to be quick as only fifty are going to be produced. The on the road price of the Lewis Leathers Royal Enfield Bullet Classic is £5,695.

Bullet Classic goes green

The Royal Enfield Bullet Classic definitely has a certain charm about it. Now it’s available as a Battle Green version, which pays homage to the company’s long relationship with the Indian Army. The association dates back to 1949, when Royal Enfield first set up an operation in Chennai to build a military spec 350 cc Bullet.

Despite its 1950s looks, the Bullet Classic is surprisingly modern. The entire range received a new 499 cc engine back in 2009, featuring fuel injection and a five-speed transmission. Fortunately for riders not familiar with the traditional Royal Enfield set up, this also saw the gear change move to the left side of the bike. The Euro 3 compliant single cylinder engine produces 27 bhp (20 kW / 28 PS) and, while it’s never going to make the bikes the fastest on the market, its near 80 mpg (3.5 l/100km) fuel consumption is impressive.

The Battle Green Bullet Classic, which has its frame, wheel rims and bodywork all painted in matt green, costs £4,895 in the UK and comes with a two year warranty. For those not into the forces look, the Bullet Classic is also available in black, blue or red for the same price.
