British family survived in India
Roiyaruenfirudo the prestigious British manufacturers were producing motorcycles since the early 1900s, during the peak of the 1950s British cars, the company's deep relationship with India and the United Kingdom (Enfield India) was established, the motorcycle started production.
After entering the 1970s, went bankrupt one after another attack by the British motorcycle manufacturers of Japanese cars. Roiyaruenfirudo no exception, but there Enfield from India was being sold to another company was already done without a bankruptcy.
But the bike was manufactured in Enfield India was designed in the 1950s, "Bullitt." And until some time in 1990, had become quite Rotoru bikes.
However, more time progresses, long-stroke single cylinder OHV air-cooled engine in a classic style matching the nostalgic obsession] [bike because it's delicious now be described with the change of the times and is fun There.
Then, under the global repercussions of growing environmental concerns, once was lost exports Roiyaruenfirudo newly designed engine in 2008 (not part of the time is still needed as much as possible.) At the same time, the injected carburetor to resume production of the disc brake. A motorcycle in half a century ago today, has attracted attention as the only company you can buy a new car.
Bullet 500 Classic charm, and great design than anything that would be obtained by heavily textured metal parts. Non-English design that is half a century ago, people could see that look 引Kurashiku know motorcycles can stop more attention to the machine.
And the feeling of the engine. Long-stroke OHV single cylinder engine, while conveying the body will push out a powerful explosion as I open the throttle from low rpm Doddoddotsu. The single most domestic, become connected with the explosion blast rises to the rotation, but they weaken the sense of pulse, 500 Brit classic crisp feeling of beating is not lost even pulled far. It has a single such fun, it became less look around the world.
Feel uneasy and not for handling, braking are also firmly. There is also practical enough for everyday use, can handle long trips. India's industrial power base, has been raised to feel that very much. The maturity is very high.
Bullet 500 Classic was injected, the really great, took me around in it, do not speak ill of people. But if you dare say, half a century ago the machine after all. From the low speed setting that is designed around, and even take them out of the winding highways and speed, no fun. Of fun to run the city is normally for this purpose.
If you can ride it around to, a machine that is really attractive.
