Let’s be real – some bikes just feel special. The Bullet 350 is one of them. It’s not the fastest, not the fanciest, but man, does it have soul. That deep thump-thump-thump from the engine isn’t just noise—it’s a heartbeat. And after all these years, it’s still winning over riders who want something with history, character, and enough muscle to handle pretty much anything.
Old-School Cool, But with Some Upgrades
Yeah, the Bullet looks like it rode straight out of the 1950s (in the best way possible). That round headlight, the chunky fuel tank, the no-nonsense single seat—it’s pure retro charm. But don’t let the classic looks fool you. The latest version gets modern touches like fuel injection, better brakes, and even ABS (because safety is cool too).
It’s heavy (195 kg heavy), but that just makes it feel planted on the road. And that 805mm seat height? Perfect for both short and tall riders. No awkward tiptoeing at traffic lights here

That Engine – Slow, Strong, and Full of Drama
Let’s talk about the 349cc single-cylinder. It makes 20.2 bhp, which… okay, isn’t setting any speed records. But who cares? This engine isn’t about racing—it’s about vibes. The torque (27 Nm) kicks in nice and early, so you get that satisfying pull from low speeds. And that exhaust note? Pure nostalgia.
The 5-speed gearbox is smooth enough, though it’s not exactly sporty. But hey, you don’t buy a Bullet to rip through gears—you buy it to cruise, to enjoy the ride, and to make everyone turn their heads when you roll by.
Ride Quality – Like Your Favorite Leather Jacket
Comfy? Oh yeah. The suspension (telescopic forks up front, twin shocks at the back) soaks up bumps like a champ. The big 19-inch front wheel glides over potholes, and the brakes (disc/drum combo, with ABS) do their job without any fuss.
It’s not a corner-carver, though. This is a bike that prefers straight roads, lazy Sunday rides, and maybe the occasional dirt trail (because why not?).
Pick Your Flavor – Four Variants, Seven Colors
Want a no-frills, classic Bullet? Go for the Base model. Feeling a little fancy? The Military Silver or Black Gold versions add some extra style. Prices start at ₹1.73 lakh (ex-showroom) and go up to ₹2.15 lakh for the top trim. Not the cheapest 350cc bike out there, but you’re paying for legacy, baby.
And the colors? Military Red, Maroon, Jet Black—all of them look like they belong in a vintage poster.
The Competition? Good Luck Keeping Up
The Classic 350 is its sibling, the Honda CB350 is smoother, and the Jawa 350 is… well, also retro. But none of them have that Bullet magic. This isn’t just a bike—it’s a piece of history that still runs like a dream.
Final Verdict – Love at First Thump
If you want a bike that’s all about numbers, look elsewhere. But if you want something with character, something that feels alive every time you kickstart it (yes, it still has a kickstarter!), the Bullet 350 is it.
It’s slow, it’s heavy, and it doesn’t care. Because when you’re riding a legend, you’re not in a hurry—you’re just enjoying the ride.
