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:

Fork mounting on new classic model 2012


Did you noticed the change and wondered why ?

The Hon’ble Bachchan and The Bullet



It’s really great to see Mr Bachchan on a Royal Enfield Bullet !

While the superstar continues his remarkable 50 years in Indian cinema, the Enfield ‘Bullet’ serving the Indian Police & Arm Forces celebrates 50 years of it’s production in Chennai factory. Both living legends are now honoured and loved by millions of hearts as :

Truly Royal, By Miles the Best !

 

The Signature part



ask any 'Bullet' lover -
This is the Famous &  Beloved 'Neutral Finder' !

while many modern guys find it a little unusual, I believe it's actually a signature feature of Royal Enfield Motorcycles. A magic stick in the gear box,

and if you ask me what I really miss in modern UC Engines,
I say, ' It's the iconic Neutral Finder' !
