RE to soon launce the ‘Carburetor Version’ of 500 Classic



Just read  the news  that coming production  of Royal Enfield 500 Classic motorcyles will have a ‘Carburetor Version’ (due to the impendence in supply of EFI unit parts) and I remember the day when my Bullet ‘Classic’ was delivered to me. As a child I had a  crush on Royal Enfield Bullet and what could be more romantic for a guy like me to get my machine on this Valentine’s Day !
On the day, discussing the special features of new Royal Enfield ‘Classic’, Piyush Gupta -The Brand Store Manager at Lucknow Showroom confirmed me that while all the Classic 500 models have the EFI (Electronic Fuel Injections) my ‘350 Classic’ ,however, is carburetor based. Well, before I miss the modern EFI, the word ‘Carburetor’ got  me into a nostalgia where I see the mechanic tuning it in 1980s style  and I think that the carburetor is an interesting part to discuss & learn about the motorcycle history & riding culture. So today I went on googling and here are some interesting links for you to follow:
