Royal Enfield Bullet Machismo 500 review, specifications

The first Monster Royal Enfield Bullet 500 was manufactured in 1965 with the top speed of 130kmph. When this motorbike came into market, it was such a pleasure, pride to have this. There was none other bikes to have competition with this Royal Bull. It was the only 4-stroke engine.

This motorbike was also come with diesel engine. Because of the extra vibration, noise and other factors, it was flopped. Now this motorbike is available only with petrol engine. Once Pulsar150, Fiero, CBZ and other bikes came into Indian bike market, Bullet sales was little down. It has started gaining the sales in recent years.

This motorbike stills keeps up the standards and changing the outlook accordingly. The thing is that you will be riding your Grandpa’s bike with new outlook of bike. Still engine remains the same.

The great advantage of this bike is you can travel even 500km without stopping it which you cannot travel with any other bike. When you ride this bike, I’m sure that you will feel like flying.

It gives great comfort and feeling to ride. At present Bullet is the only Indian bike in 500cc segment.

The Royal Enfield Bullet Machismo 500 has got displacement of 499cc with Single Cylinder, 4 Stroke, OHV, SI, and Air Cooled engine. It delivers the maximum power 23.6 bhp @ 5600rpm with the maximum torque of 40.85 Nm @ 3000rpm. What a power! Isn’t it? The only issue with this bike is poor mileage 30-33kmpl.

The price of this bike is Rs. 115,800.
