Maybe it would be cool to have different riding modes for city and highway. It doesn't have to be fancy, just a way to change throttle response.

Instead of adding gimmicky electronic features they should be focused on improving build quality and reliability.

I would really like to see some modern touches like LED lighting and maybe a basic trip computer. It’s nothing too crazy, but a few conveniences would be nice.

Traction control on a Bullet? That's just wrong. It’s part of the fun in managing that torque yourself.
What will be the effect of Bullet 650's pricing strategy on its market positioning?

If they price it too high, they defeat the whole point of the Bullet. It has to be affordable for the average rider.

I expect they'll market it as a premium model, perhaps even higher than the Interceptor. That Bullet name has a long history.

They should price it between the Interceptor and the 350. Compete with the other 650s without giving people a reason to upgrade.

It has to be competitive with bikes like the Kawasaki W800, whatever they do. It’s probably the closest competitor in style and engine size.

It’s too expensive for the Indian market, I’m worried. Many buyers are already stretched to the 650 twins.

They could have done a base model in the 350 prices range, and a higher end with more features for a higher price.

People would still buy it honestly, and they could probably charge a premium just for the Bullet name. It's got a cult following.
Will the Bullet 650's engine character be anything like the iconic thump of the 350?

It's never going to have the thump of the 350. That's just physics. The parallel twin is gonna be smoother, and less characterful.

They'll tune it a bit more characterful than the Interceptor I reckon. Perhaps a louder exhaust and some engineered vibration to make it feel Bullet like.

Sad to lose the thump, but extra power and smoothness of the 650 will more than make up for it on long rides.

A 650 single would be what they should do. Add more power, keep the thump. Best of both worlds.

A Bullet that doesn’t shake my fillings loose, I’m excited for that. The 350 was cool, but after long trips that vibration was old.

Without that distinctive sound, it’s gonna be weird hearing a Bullet. It's a half of the bike's personality.

They might have some clever engineering that will make it sound unique. It’s possible, Triumph did it with the Bobber.
Can the Bullet 650 follow in the footsteps of its 350cc predecessor?
07 January 2025 11:46
The OG Bullet 350 is irreplaceable, no way. There’s no modern 650 twin that can make that thumping sound and that bare bones simplicity.

I think it has a good shot. The 650 twins have been well received, and to put one of those engines in the Bullet chassis could really be a perfect blend of old and new.
