Features :



Electric Start




Electric Start

All the latest bullets now come with Electric start. This one is no exception. This is a big relief for those new to the RE bikes and also those who do not wish to injure their legs due to the mighty strong kick-back from the engine if you do not properly perform the kick and mind you it really takes a lot for leg-power to start a Bullet!!







Tiger Eyes - Pilot Lamps



Tiger Eyes

The pilot lamps adds style and are practical. RE likes to call them as Tiger Eyes. All the electricals in the new Bullet is powered by a 12V DC battery, including the headlamps and pilot-lamps. So you get a stable luminosity and its not depended on the engine revs any more.
