The Bullet Trials 350 is renowned for its retro inspired design, inspired by the company's past in trials competitions. These are wire spoke wheels, a minimalist instrument cluster, and classic color schemes. These features make the bike so special, but they’ve also brought up questions about whether form has been favored over function. A few riders say the retro styling may reverse modern performance and safety standards, which could jeopardize performance such as braking, lighting or handling. But others argue that modern engineering can play well with the traditional design to offer both form and substance. There's much bigger issues for this debate to hit to do with balancing nostalgic style and motorcycle technology appropriate for modernity and safety.
