Bulleteer Customs have worked on a Royal Enfield
Classic 500. Called the Steroid
540, the bike gets cosmetic as well as mechanical updates.
The Bulleteer Customs have kept the engine mods
secret. They claim that the Steroid 540 can sprint from standstill to 100 km/h
in under 9 seconds and can record a top speed of 154 km/h. The stock 499 cc air
cooled, fuel injected mill is capable of producing 27.2 bhp of maximum power at
5,250 rpm and 41.3 Nm of peak torque at 4,000 rpm.
Unlike most cafe racer customisations, the Steroid
540 has been given a macho and beefy look. The bike gets a 190 mm Metzeler tyre
while the front gets a 120 section.
Dedicated to the British motorcycle racer Barry
Sheen, the Steroid 540 gets a fuel tank shaped like the one in the Royal
Enfield Continental GT. This one though is 4 inches wider. The headlamp gets
LEDs while the upswept custom exhaust lends the bike a sporty yet rustic
appeal. The seat too has a classic appeal.
