The new Bullet 350 shares the J-series engine, a long-stroke 2-valve air/oil cooled single with chain-driven single overhead camshaft, with the Meteor, Hunter and the Classic, which have been around for a couple of years, but the unit in the Bullet has come in for some factory fettling. To gain a broader spread of performance, the Bullet engine uses different ignition timing and fuel mapping, and in this form produces 20.2 bhp at 6,100 rpm with 27Nmpetrol, returning 2.63litres/100km on highway running. The five-speed gearbox has an overdrive top gear which makes motorway riding a lot more enjoyable and economical.
