presentation of the Bullet 500 Classic Blake et Mortimer 2009

the famous comic-book heroes Blake and Mortimer return for new adventures with the release of their 19th album - The Curse of the Thirty Denarii. When a trail leads them to Athens, it's not long before trouble begins. This is followed by a chase in which Mortimer grabs a Royal Enfield and shows off his driving skills(an extract awaits you in the photo gallery). To celebrate the release of this new tome, Royal Enfield presents a limited edition of 46 copies of the Bullet 500 Classic Blake and Mortimer special edition, available in red or black.
Of course, spending 7,500 euros on a half-liter single that tops out at 28 horsepower may seem surreal these days. But riding India's most popular motorcycle (with English origins) with the crest of the 2 heroes is a sure sign of passion. Autenthusiasm pegged to the frame...

this bike will also be the 1st prize in a competition organized by the publisher. To win this Bullet, all you have to do is visit www.blakeetmortimer.com from November 13. Then, a little beard, a suit, and you're in plate 16 of the latest Black & Mortimer album.

Alain Model 2009

Aside from routine maintenance, my 2016 Efi has clocked over 26,000 km in three years. I haven't gone easy on it—often riding with a passenger—but it's a great machine. I find it sturdy, a real bike, easy to handle, and fuel-efficient. 05/29/2026 21:25 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Alain

GrosOurs Model 2009

The new Bullet is a beautiful machine

The Dargaud/Royal Enfield association is probably a good business idea, but the supporting article is inaccurate, as Mortimer rides a Harley Davidson WLA, not a Bullet. 01/15/2010 18:02 Rating : 5/5 Respond to GrosOurs
