Hi all newbie here so apologies if this question has been asked before
I'm considering buying a classic 500 or a Bullet 500, they both seem pretty much identical are they basically the same bike but with a few different bits ie mudguards?
Thanks in advance

I admit. It's an awkward question. Is it 'classic styled'? Or is it a Bullet? To my mind. It's either a 'iron barrel' or a UCE. Which bike are you looking at?

So I'm looking at late models ie EFI , 5 speed unit construction models. I see 'Bullets' and 'Classics' advertised, and I prefer the look of the Classic with sprung seat etc. But I was just curious as to what the difference was between the two models?
Thanks for the reply

Sorry Mr Spudgun but there are many differences between EFI Classic and Bullet models ( or B5 ) seat / silencer / footrest fixings are all different - and worse as year models change too ....some parts will interchange with a few mods but be careful here ...
