News is hot, Royal Enfield – company behind the Bullet series has launched two variations of the Bullet Classic model in India. Bullet Classic 500 and Bullet Classic 350 are both Jumbo bikes and retain the classic look Royal Enfield’s are known for.
Both the bikes have Unitary Construction Engine and fuel injection. The Classic 500 and 350 will be the first Royal Enfield bikes in India to have this feature.
