Royal Enfield New Zealand has confirmed the pricing of the new Bullet 350, with the bike starting from an attainable $7,890.
The Royal Enfield Bullet is perhaps the brand's most iconic nameplate with over 90 years of production history, but it has been missing from the local lineup recently. Enfield fans will surely rejoice to see the Bullet return to the NZ lineup with the introduction of the new Bullet 350 for 2024, giving a further option to the brand's 350cc lineup.
That means at its heart is Royal Enfield's characterful long-stroke 349cc J-series engine which happily chugs along with its torquey power delivery up to a peak of 20.2hp and 27Nm of torque. See our test of the Hunter 350 to see what a joy this engine is in the city.
For the 2024 Bullet 350, the bike receives an updated chassis which comes in the form of a twin downtube cradle frame, which Royal Enfield says helps ensure greater confidence and a more stable riding experience every single time. That should match perfectly with the engine, which happens to be one of the easiest going powerplants for a rider to learn to ride a motorcycle with.
Braking comes in the form of ABS-backed 300mm front and 270mm rear disc brakes while suspension is classic simplicity with 41mm forks and twin rear shocks.
Accessibility has always been Royal Enfield's strong point, and in addition to the affordable price the Bullet 350 is physically easy to manage with its 805mm seat height and sub-200kg wet weight. The seat looks comfy as hell too with copious amounts of padding.
As always, Royal Enfield is launching the Bullet 350 with a range of accessories to tailor the bike to its owner's needs, with everything from skid plates to windshields and everything in between on offer.
New Zealand has the option of three colours for the Bullet 350, with the bike coming in either Standard Black, Standard Maroon, or the classy Black and Gold.
