Royal Enfield is set to launch the all-new Bullet 350 in India today. The new Bullet will be underpinned by a new platform also used by the Classic 350 and the Meteor 350. The motorcycle will also share many common parts with its 350 cc siblings including the new J-Series engine.
Based on previous spy pictures, the new Bullet will carry forward the same basic design as the outgoing model replete with the tear-drop fuel tank and round light clusters. As per a leaked brochure document the new Bullet will be available in three variants with differences in trimming, features and paint finishes.
