The Royal Enfield Classic, the very first all new engine the firm has made for its Bullet in over 54 years! No there is nothing snide about this but rather the fact that just like the bullet wafts its way on the roads in the most pleasurable manner, it is but a reminder that to do an all new pushrod engine with the traditional appeal of a big single took some effort!

R L Ravichandran, the CEO of Royal Enfield said that the very essence that helps sell the Bullet is that it is a throwback to the past and they have nurtured this character so far pretty well. While trying to make it relevent for sale in the present emission-legislated times, they had now here to go for technology for engines of their kind. Thus technology sourcing and development is what took them so much time. The Classic in its 500cc EFI guise is a prety delightful time -machine which surely is the perffect antidote to the hyper-performing, high revving small Indo-Jap buzzbomb pleasure on two wheels a’la the latest Bullet.
