Complete Royal Enfield Bullet 500 Specifications

Royal Enfield Bullet 500 Specifications

Replicating the  Royal Enfield Bullet 500 specifications here because over time these go away from the official website. Last time around, I learnt this the hard way because I lost most of the AVL engined Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350 related information when Royal Enfield decided to phase it out, not only from the showrooms, but also from their website.

This page will keep getting updated as and when I find useful information to be used by owners of this model.

Why the interest and the special treatment to this motorcycle?

Just booked one today.
