Buy a new Bullet 350cc Classic motorcycle for £1,995 on the road
Royal Enfield has turned back the clock by reducing the prices of its Classic models
by up to 10%. That means you can buy a brand new Bullet 350cc motorcycle for
under £2,000 and the 500cc version for just over £2,500 including on the road
charges.
The Royal Enfield Bullet, which has been in continuous production for over 50 years,
has enjoyed a resurgence in popularity since UK distribution was taken over by
Watsonian Squire in 1999. Last year the historic brand bucked the trend of static
bike sales (the overall market was up by just 2%) with a stunning 24% increase in
registrations. In the UK Royal Enfield is now comfortably out-performing other niche
European brands, like Moto Guzzi and the Bullet is selling in comparable numbers to
the new Triumph Bonneville.
The Bullet remains unique in being a machine of the 1950’s but made today with the
benefit of modern technology and a full national dealer network. With its 4-speed
gearbox, operated by the right foot, and single cylinder overhead valve motor, the
Bullet Classic delivers an authentic retro experience. Owners also benefit from
amazingly low insurance premiums and equally amazing fuel economy.
Enthusiasm for the new generation Bullet Electra, with its lean burn alloy engine,
5-speed gearbox, disc brake and electric starter, has polarised sales of Royal
Enfields in the UK. The Classic 4-speed models currently account for 40% of new
registrations ,but when the Euro 3 regulations come into effect in 2007 this will
severely restrict sales of these machines. Watsonian Squire report that the Classic
models are predominantly purchased by British bike enthusiasts looking for an
everyday classic, while the Electra appeals to a wider variety of riders, including
those unfamiliar with the idiosyncrasies of British bike ownership.
The Royal Enfield Bullet 350cc Classic sells for £1,995 OTR and the 500cc Classic
for £2,551 OTR (both in black with kick start). The Royal Enfield Bullet 350-T Trials
is £2,650 OTR (in silver with kick start).
