We have a video dropped to ZigWheel’s Instagram platform showing off a Royal Enfield bike with retro badging – and since RE’s Bullet is the machine everybody’s anticipating to break soonest out of the 28 bikes set to drop in the coming seven years, we’re expecting the Bullet to show herself before the next month is out.

Sharma anticipates the Bullet to cost “$4,400 ($300 shy of the Classic and $400 more than the Hunter).”
What do you think?
