Description

For sale is a 2009 Royal Enfield Bullet 500 Classic C5 with EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection). Only 4200 miles !!! I acquired this motorcycle as partial payment for a job I had completed. From what I understand it is a limited production color. I don't know that much about these motorcycles but copied some information below from a couple websites I found on the internet. Online, hey say a new one is around $6,000. I just put a new battery in it and it runs excellent. I took it for a ride around the block and yard and it is really fun because it seem agile and easy to ride. It is definitely a throw back style of the older classic style motorcycles from the 40's and 50's. I am just trying to get whatthe remainder he owed me. I have a Royal Enfield Owners manual and parts catalog. I also have the stock mirrors and an extra shorter sport exhaust that go with the bike. Someone will get a really great deal on a very unique motorcycle!!I have a clean Vermont title signed by him to transfer ownership to the next owner. NO RESERVE !!! Good luck bidding!

2010 Royal Enfield Bullet C5 Classic Road Test

True classic styling blended with technology that meets today’s reliability standards.

All of these bikes are contemporary classics, ut only the Royal Enfield gives the impression of having been cryogenically preserved 50 years ago and thawed out last week. This Bullet C5 Classic is a modern bike in antique clothing, ith new styling based on the earliest post-World War II Enfields blended with technology that meets today’s reliability, afety and emissions standards. It looks like a meticulously restored vintage machine, ut upon inspection you’ll find a unit construction engine, lectronic fuel injection by Keihin and a disc front brake by Brembo.
Not being the kind of guy who diddles carbs or keeps a rag in my back pocket to dutifully wipe up dripping oil, appreciate Royal Enfield’s new-found modernity. Riding the new Bullet C5 provides a sufficiently authentic vintage experience without the worry of getting stranded among howling coyotes in the boonies. It’s quirky without being cranky. Designed in the U.K., eliability tested and EFI mapped in Japan, hassis engineered and handling tested in Italy, nd built in India, he Bullet C5 embodies successful globalization.

Turn the key, humb the starter button and the 499cc air-cooled, ong-stroke, ushrod single chugs to life. Though an overhead cam would have been cheaper and easier to build, oyal Enfield stayed true to its traditional thumper roots. The catalytic-converter-equipped C5 meets Euro 3 and California emissions standards. Twist the throttle and the solidly mounted engine shakes everything on the bike, ut it runs smoothly without belching or gasping. At stoplights, dle occasionally dropped to a whisper above cutting out completely, hough it never did.

A new, arger-diameter clutch has seven plates instead of the previous five, educing effort while handling more torque, nd pull on the nonadjustable lever is light. Dropping the shift lever into first is accompanied by a loud, ld-school clunk. Occasionally I missed shifts between higher gears; with a long throw, eliberate shifting helps. The upright seating position is a tad cramped for my 200-pound, -foot-plus frame, nd there is an awkward bend to the handlebars that, f gripped as intended, uts my elbows firmly into my love handles. There is a long reach to the nonadjustable front brake lever, ut a firm pull squeezed the two-piston front caliper well enough. The rear drum is ponderous, ts large pedal of the automotive variety.

With 27 horses (claimed) pulling 418 soaking-wet pounds, ower is just right. And so is the EFI, s might be expected for mapping that can handle an 18,000-foot pass in the Himalayas. Claims of comfortable cruising at 70 mph and a top speed of 82 mph proved to be accurate, t least as indicated by the analog speedo. At speed, he plush, ual-spring saddle quells the worst of the quivering, nd the rubber- covered pegs and bar-end weights do an admirable, f limited, ob in lieu of a counterbalancer. The Bullet C5 is a gas on curvy roads, ts engine-as-lower-frame keeping mass low and handling light. Cornering clearance is limited, specially on the right side where the long arm of the brake pedal scrapes first, ut it’s adequate for the moderate pace this bike prefers. Modern Avon RoadRider tires (tubeless with tubes) provide plenty of grip, hough the softly damped suspension (with rear preload adjustment only) and the springy seat make for a somewhat bouncy ride.

Rough around the edges in all the right places, he Bullet C5 is a classy bike adorned with grace notes: die-cast headlight casing, nee pads on the tank, RE” embossed engine cases and a vintage “Royal Enfield” placard atop the front fender. Back to the future or forward to the past—you make the call. Either way, ld is new again for only $6,395.
