Couple of years back, I had bought an '80s reconditioned Bullet 350.Yeah, I picked up a 1980s Bullet that was restored in India - just for fun. It's not a daily driver, just a piece of history. I'll go over it this winter, it's been in a crate for 12 years, 0 miles on the full restoration.
Mine was one of those auctioned after use by the Indian Army and then shop re-purposed for sale.
Nice and shiny outside.
Not so, the "inside".
I had also been in touch with the first importers of the Bullet 350, a firm operating out of the Niagara area. They had to shutter as each new bike brought in had to be reconditioned.
Of course now things have changed for the better. The quality is much improved, though nowhere near spec of say a BMW. But then the price of a RE is nowhere near that of a BMW.
I had seen a video clip of Jay Leno on a Conti 650, he appeared to be enjoying the ride!
