The Bullet Sixty-5 is the latest in the Bullet series and takes Royal Enfield forward into the 1960's. The new 5-speed gearbox with left foot change was designed & developed in the UK by Dr.
Stuart McGuigan of Cranfield University. The Bullet Sixty-5 has electric starting as standard.
Based on the Bullet Sixty-5, launched at last year's Show, the Bullet
Sixty-5 Street is inspired by the 'street scramblers' that the British
industry exported so successfully in the late 1960's. Reaction from both
dealers and public was so positive that production is being brought
forward to meet the anticipated demand.
Produced exclusively for the UK market, the Sixty-5 Street is equipped
the new 5-speed left foot gear-change, (standard Bullets are fitted with a
traditional 4-speed right foot gear-change). Changes from the standard
Bullet Sixty-5 include a new chromed tank with matching headlamp peak,
solo seat, chrome rear rack, trials handlebars, and TT100 tyres. The short
sports silencer allows the traditional British 500cc OHV engine to produce
an authentic exhaust note. Optional extras will include chrome crash-bars
and custom screen. |
