Royal Enfield Bullet 350 Launched In Japan After New Himalayan 450

The Royal Enfield Bullet 350 is powered by the same J-series engine that was first introduced with the Meteor 350.

Royal Enfield has come a long way with its J-series platform which now underpins four motorcycles. The Bullet 350 was the latest spur that launched in India in September 2023 priced from ₹1.74 lakh (ex-showroom Chennai) onwards. Now the same has made its way to Japanese shores starting from ¥694,100 (i.e. ₹3.82 lakh as per current exchange rates) in its standard dual-channel ABS version with Black or Maroon colour options. And for the Black Gold colour option, the Royal Enfield will charge ¥701,800 (i.e. ₹3.86 lakh as per current exchange rates).

Essentially the same motorcycle as the Classic 350, the Royal Enfield Bullet 350 differs visually subtly with a different handlebar, flared mudguards, boxy side panels, a more regal-looking tank, and a single-piece seat instead of the two-seat design. Aside from that, the chassis, engine, and various other components are exactly the same as the Classic 350. 

Housed in between the double-cradle frame of the Bullet 350 is the same 349 cc, J-series engine that produces 20 bhp and 27 Nm, and comes married to a 5-speed gearbox. The telescopic fork and dual-rear shock absorbers setup are also the same, but the Japanese-spec Bullet 350 is available with a dual-disc brake as standard (unlike the India-spec model that also gets a disc-drum brake option).
