Once upon a time(during 90s), I dreamt owning a Enfield Bullet 500 which was rare. But, Bullet Mechanic persuaded Me to stay away from it because CI 500 has overheating issue? Another Bullet, I missed to own is Bullet Lighting 535 which looks like Thunderbird..
I've had my CI 500 for 10 years now. A well set engine will not overheat. The LB while its new and running is a real gem. But once its crank goes, and it goes quickly and cannot be re-built as easily and cheaply as the CIs, that is when the pain starts. The C5 is not a Bullet. Sorry sirji! The Lightning 535 is a monster with a very dicey and expensive piston and rings. Botched up attempt by RE to go the whole hog on Fritz Egli's blueprint (a treu 45+ bhp monster Super Bullet!).
