Fake Royal Enfield Bullets: Royal Enfield’s Bullet 350 is a legendary motorcycle, revered in India as a symbol of freedom and individuality. But did you know that there are now fake Royal Enfield Bullets being made and sold in Pakistan?
These counterfeit bikes, produced by a company called Road Prince, have sparked outrage among motorcycle enthusiasts and raised concerns about safety and intellectual property.

What are these fake Bullets like?
The Road Prince Bullet Digital 70 is a far cry from the real Royal Enfield Bullet 350. It has a puny 70cc engine that produces a measly 5 BHP of power. That’s barely enough to get you up a steep hill, let alone cruise down the highway.
To make matters worse, the Road Prince Bullet is a Frankenstein’s monster of motorcycle parts. The front end looks suspiciously like a Hero Honda CD 100, while the rear bears an uncanny resemblance to an old Bajaj car. It’s a mishmash of mismatched components that wouldn’t look out of place in a junkyard.
So, how much does this imposter cost?
The Road Prince Bullet Digital 70 retails for Rs 75,000 in Pakistan, which is around Rs 24,000 in Indian currency. That’s significantly cheaper than a real Royal Enfield Bullet 350, which starts at Rs 1.24 lakh in Pakistan.
But is the lower price tag worth the risk? Experts say that these fake Bullets are likely to be unreliable and unsafe. They may not have the same quality of brakes, suspension, or frame as a genuine Royal Enfield, which could lead to accidents.
