Positioned in Enfield's classic motorcycle lineup, the 2007 Enfield Bullet Sixty 5 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 25.8 Nm (19 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 44.1 HP per liter and a 2,400 rpm working window between peak torque (3,000 rpm) and peak power (5,400 rpm), the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.
On the scales, the Bullet Sixty 5 measures 168 kg (370 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.13 HP/kg (7.64 kg per horsepower). 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 125 km/h (78 mph).
