Bulleteer Customs have come up with yet another
tasteful build, the Spartan. The bike is based on the Royal Enfield Thunderbird
350.
The custom house has removed all the un-necessary
bodywork, and have endowed the bike with a custom tank and a cylindrical
utility box. With minimalistic bodywork, the bike truly does look spartan. The
headlight nacelle, fuel tank and fenders come with red paintwork, while the
powertrain and utility box have a chrome finish. The single seat is a
minimalistic leather unit, and the wide handlebars are aftermarket. The LED
headlamp is aftermarket as well. The folks at the custom house have done away
with the twin-pod instrument cluster in favour of minimalism.
Powering the Spartan is the same 346 cc single
cylinder engine that does duty in the stock Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350.
Apart from the conical air filter and the custom exhaust, the powertrain looks
stock. Pairing with a 5-speed gearbox, the mill makes 19.8 bhp at 5,250 rpm,
and 28 Nm at 4,000 rpm.
The front-end rides on telescopic fork while the
rear retains the twin gas-charged shock absorbers. Brakes include the same 280
mm front and 240 mm rear disc combination. The spoke wheels are smaller than
the stock units, and are shod with meaty knobby tyres.
