1993 Enfield Bullet 500 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 1993 Enfield Bullet 500 motorcycle, Enfield features a 499 cc (30.5 cu in) single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 22 HP (16.1 kW) at 5,400 rpm while maximum torque reaches 35.2 Nm (26 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 4-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 44.1 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 Bullet 500 measures 155 kg (342 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.14 HP/kg (7.05 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. The 14.5-liter (3.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
