That certainly does look like a Bullet.

Can't see the point of a 350cc Bullet when there is already the Classic 350 reborn.

[AzCal Retred]

The Classic 350 reborn has the 500 fenders & rear fender support bars.

Differences between them on the 350 "J Bullet" I can see are:
Casquette nacelle ring, rear fender, rear fender support bars, tail light, air box, exhaust silencer, seat, tank.

Cosmetic changes, basically "badge engineering", same stuff RE has been doing for a long time. No info on rear wheel size. We'll have to wait for a road test to see if there are kinesthetic differences. It definitely has the Olds Skool 350 Bullet vibe down pat though.

Very nice! It looks like that could be a 19 inch rear wheel - the Times article says it is but until the official release we’ll have to wait and see. The moving of the catcon to the head pipe (or added pre-converter) is something different  - I do like the muffler. Overall I like the look and might have picked a Bullet over my Classic if it came in the right colors. This bike will have a lot more significance in India, the Bullet is a big deal there, than here in the US I think.

Looks nice but I don’t see the appeal since I already have the classic. Kinda disappointed that they didn’t resigned the rear break pedal so that it’s not so close to the peg.

I am glad that new buyers will have one more choice to choose from though

Shame they still haven't managed to squeeze a 500 version through the emissions regs.

The QJ Motors SRC500 is 480cc, so apparently anything over 450cc = 500. A light piston and overbore cylinder would get the "J" up to that mark. How much extra displacement could the stock EFI accommodate? Is this just a matter of reprograming the EFI tuning?

I'm just as disappointed as everyone else here, really wanted a 500. But...

Not one but two new 350's were released. They differ in that one has a kick starter.

SOMEBODY must be excited their 350 can now have a kick starter added to it. Right?

[AzCal Retred]

Why would you not? Can't always plan on having a flat battery on top of a hill!

The bullet looks great! The bullet is the original! The classic is just a derivative of the bullet!
