Bullet Classic Desert Storm

Royal Enfield has produced the Desert Storm, a second special edition bike to go with the Bullet Classic Chrome.

Unsurprisingly, the Desert Storm is identified by its desert sand colour scheme, although the overall impression is more British Eighth Army circa 1942 rather than the eponymous Gulf War campaign of 1991. It looks pretty good, though, and nicely complements the Bullet Classic Battle Green in the Royal Enfield line-up.

As with the Bullet Classic Chrome, the Desert Storm is powered by a 27 bhp (20 kW / 28 PS) single-cylinder, fuel-injected 499 cc engine that produces 41 Nm (30 lb/ft) of torque.

UK availability and pricing have yet to be confirmed.

Although top speed is virtually unchanged at 121 mph (195 km/h), the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) acceleration time is slashed from 9.9 to 8.7 seconds. To go with the extra performance, the looks have been spruced up too. There are 17” black alloy wheels, twin chrome exhausts and a silver finish at the front for the aerofoil, grille surround and fog light bezels. Paintwork choice comprises Frozen White, Midnight Sky Metallic or Panther Black Metallic. The interior hasn’t been ignored, either. It gets Ebony Black leather sports seats, Piano Black trim, stainless steel door scuff plates and unique floor mats. Only 1,000 examples of the Ford F
