2012 Royal Enfield Bullet C5 Chrome and Desert Storm Limited Edition

Royal Enfield has released two new limited edition classic bike, The Classic Chrome and The Classic Desert Storm. Both models are based on the company’s Bullet C5 Classic, powered by the same fuel injected 499cc Single cylinder engine, delivering 27.2 hp at 5250rpm and 30.5 ft-lb. at 4000rpm.

Just like the Classic 500, new Classic Chrome and Classic Desert Storm retains the quintessential classic British styling of the 1950s: simple, harmonious, well proportioned.

The Royal Enfield Classic Chrome comes with leather seat and covered in chrome that combined with a rich paint finish. Its design is a tribute to the retro look of post war British motorcycles. Available in two color schemes: chrome/black and chrome/royal maroon.

Meanwhile, the Classic Desert Storm comes with a “sand” paint scheme reminiscent of the war era which represent the company’s history of supplying military motorcycles for desert theaters.

Both Classic Chrome and Classic Desert Storm are available in U.S and some countries. For the details and where to buy, you can visit the Royal Enfield’s website.
