Two versions have been produced; the standard
Electra Classic gets a black tank with gold decals & pinstripe and
matching black mudguards , which combine to give the bike the appearance
of the 1950’s Bullet at first glance. A Deluxe version, with
chrome-sided tank and matching chrome mudguards front and rear, is
available to order as is a solo seat version.
For those seeking something that harks back to the original Bullet of 1949,
there is a Solo Saddle model. This adds a leatherette solo sprung saddle and
luggage rack to the chrome tank and guards, taking the Bullet Electra into
another decade altogether.
Like the donor model Electra, introduced into the UK in 2004, the Classic
benefits from the new lean-burn all-aluminium 499cc OHV single cylinder engine,
producing significantly more power than the original 50 year-old
British-designed unit and delivering over 80 mpg. It shares all of the other
modern features that make the Electra-X so easy to live with, (and accessible to
younger and novice riders), including electric start, 5-speed gearbox, 280mm
single calliper front disc brake and gas filled rear dampers.
