Bullet Machismo

2009 Enfield Bullet Machismo Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Enfield for the classic motorcycle segment, the 2009 Enfield Bullet Machismo 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 5,600 rpm while maximum torque reaches 27.5 Nm (20.3 lb-ft) at 3,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 52 HP per liter and a 2,600 rpm working window between peak torque (3,000 rpm) and peak power (5,600 rpm), the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.

On the scales, the Bullet Machismo measures 163 kg (359 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.11 HP/kg (9.06 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 772 mm (30.4 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,370 mm (53.9 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 14.5-liter (3.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 110 km/h (68 mph).
