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.

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.

2011 Royal Enfield Fury

29 November 2010 Update:



Pricing for the Fury has been confirmed at £5,500 for the black version, or £5,895 for the blue or white paint finishes.



Available exclusively in the UK, sales are due to start early next year.

Royal Enfield is set to unveil its new Fury at the UK Motorcycle Live show, which takes place in Birmingham’s NEC from 27 November to 5 December 2010.

Based around the familiar fuel-injected 499 cc single-cylinder engine from the Bullet Classic, the Fury has been created to help the Royal Enfield brand appeal more to younger customers. To that end, it gets flat track racing inspired styling cues, including wider bars, a redesigned seat unit and twin silencers.

Pricing will be revealed at the NEC show.
