350 Bullet

1997 Enfield 350 Bullet Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Enfield's classic motorcycle lineup, the 1997 Enfield 350 Bullet features a 346 cc (21.1 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 18 HP (13.1 kW) at 5,625 rpm while maximum torque reaches 28 Nm (20.7 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 4-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 52 HP per liter, the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.

On the scales, the 350 Bullet measures 180 kg (397 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.1 HP/kg (10 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 760 mm (29.9 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,370 mm (53.9 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 13.5-liter (3.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
