For some time now there have been persistent rumours of a carburetted version of the Royal Enfield Bullet 500 Classic.  The reasons given for this were ease of maintenance and also maintaining a truly classic identity.  Motorbeam.com now says that this is not going to happen and that the Bullet 500 Classic will come only with fuel injection.  We say that is the way it should be, to make the quirky bike a little more reliable and predictable.  However, this would mean that a quick fix at a road side mechanic shop is no longer possible.
