The design on this latest version of Bullet and Continental GT will largely be the same to carry forward the retro theme. New front fender cut out and a modest screw cap for the fuel tank are included in the list of updates. The Classic variant is getting a disc brake system at the rear, rather than the drum brake unit. At the same time, the bullet is also getting a rear brake setup, along with a fresh passenger seat for improving pillion comfort. On the mechanical front, these 2017 editions can be expected to have similar power output details or to have a slight change. These details have not been unveiled yet.
