The bike

The LIGHTNING 500 - the first super bike to be launched by Royal Enfield in 1997. It
combines the cruiser looks and chopper styling so popular the world over. 

The plan

The LIGHTNING 500 is for the dude with the "Who needs a car when you have a bolt of
lightning?" attitude. Look out for it in select Indian cities now and all over India in the
April/June quarter of 1998. It’s worth waiting for the ultimate motorcycling experience.

The bike

Designed on the same chassis as the legendary Bullet but with subtle changes in styling and a brand
new engine, the Machismo A350 is a power-pack quite distinguishable from the Bullet on the road
today. 

The engine is built with technical assistance from AVL, a-world-famous R&D firm in Austria. It is
based on state-of-the-art lean-burn technology (the combustion chamber has been specifically
redesigned so that a lean petrol-air mixture is present outside the immediate zone of combustion) to
yield high-calibre performance, power, pickup, acceleration, speed, fuel efficiency and low emission.

The plan

The Bullet Machismo A350 is being introduced onto the roads now. For the young, hip urbanite
who digs a fast, powerful motorbike packed with state-of-the–art technology. And the Bullet
trademarks of aesthetics, durability, road grip, safety and riding comfort.
