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. In the previous bikes, the engine and transmission were separate, but Unitary construction of the engine means that the engine and transmission have been combined into a single unit.

Many Royal Enfield Bullet fans that didn’t like the wheels on previous motorcycles will be happy to know that the new Classic 500 as well as the Classic 350 have 18-inch wheels. Both look equally awesome and classy.
