Re: Happy Monday.
Have you seen RE just announced a 350 Bullet?
I was hoping for a 500.
The Bullet looks a lot like the Classic, but has a one piece rider/pillion seat and the traditional Bullet squared off rear mudguard.

Re: Happy Monday.
They've been hinting at the return of the Bullet, many hoped it would be a bored out 500cc version of the newer 350 as used in the Classic and the HNTR, but it's just a 'Bullet' version of the current 350.
So the big Box on Monday doesn't contain a 350 Classic then?
Lots of EFI bikes have a 'fast idle', rather than a choke.

Re: Happy Monday.
REs have manual choke/ fast idle lever. No 350 coming to my house.

Re: Happy Monday.
RE 350s are woefully underpowered. I got off a 50 bhp CB500 and rode one for a day, not something I enjoyed. Not ridden a Bullet since the original version back in about 1965 so I can't comment.

I rode a brand new 350 the other week, a lot faster than Usain St. Leo Bolt OJ CD OLY. That'll do fine.

Re: Happy Monday.
Quick vid. Very tidy, got to sort tax and insurance then test ride. Honest review to follow with pic's.

Re: Happy Monday.
The trials 500 is a great looking bike, imho.
I do prefer the green framed one over the red, but it's still a corker!
Get a copy of the Hitchcock's catalog and get a loud pipe ordered!

Re: Happy Monday.
It is a bit quiet. I liked both colours tbh and this was low miles so easier to move on. If and when.
