New Bullet Classic Chrome

Royal Enfield has launched the limited edition Bullet Classic Chrome.

As its name suggests, there’s plenty of bright work, and the mudguards, fuel tank and air box covers have all been chrome-plated. By contrast, the front fork shrouds, tool boxes and headlight nacelle are painted either black or dark maroon, with some elegant gold pin-striping as a finishing touch. The seat is upholstered in brown leatherette, and a matching pillion pad is available as an accessory.

Like the rest of the Bullet line-up, power comes from a modern single-cylinder, fuel-injected 499 cc engine that produces 27 bhp (20 kW / 28 PS) and 41 Nm (30 lb/ft) of torque. Although the bike features an electric start, it also comes equipped with a kick starter that will appeal to those seeking an authentic retro experience.

The UK on the road price for the Bullet Classic Chrome has been set at £5,295, which is £300 more than the standard Bullet Classic. However, it seems that only the maroon colour scheme is being offered here.

Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
