Royal Enfield Taurus - Diesel Bullet Is Unique But Unrefined | Faisal Khan

[@FasBeam]

Big shoutout to instagram.com/_._tharun_._/ for lending me this unique diesel motorcycle ✌🏼

[@Amulnaiks]

A properly tuned bike would give 100-120 kmpl my uncle used to ride this he used to calculate it as liter per hours 🤣1 liter for 2 hours of continuous riding

[@nailedgamer5222]

This is only for the person had the habbit of it

[@nailedgamer5222]

I had the petrol one both 350 and 500....

[@RakeshNair666Creations]

@@Amulnaiks Incidentally I have seem the same engine used by the local “Ganna juice” Sugarcane juice vendors. They use the same engine as the powerhouse that runs their “squeezer machine”. After seeing the engine I’ve jokingly asked them “kitna deti hai” they said 100Rs diesel is enough for a whole day’s worth of operation. And mind you that engine is kept on idle status for the whole time that stall is open. All he does is pull on a lever (acceleration cable) to increase the revs and get more power when the cane is to be squeezed.

Royal Enfield also used to sell Ensign. The only Royal Enfield with a 150 CC engine. Which they used to call mini bullet. Our family had one, which unfortunately we sold last year.

[@theraildynasty_]

Woahh, bro i think it was an imported motorcycle if i am not wrong, bro what a unique bike, why did u sell it 🥲

[@piyushchowre902]

Ensign was 150cc 2stroke quite a rare bike pre 1959! & Mini bullet was the 200cc Villers engine which was in 70's

[@kumarutkarshnayak]

Bro Mini Bullet had 200cc Engine, I still have it in my home, later our mini bullet was converted into diesel due to lack of availability of that 200cc engine parts . . . . . We still have that diesel converted mini bullet at home, it has a self starter as well . . . . .

There was Enfield Sherpa 173 cc villiers engine. 😁

Faisal : diesel is a diesel is a diesel is a diesel.. Also Faisal : not here..😆

[@RakeshNair666Creations]

Good One!! @ Faisal Khan. I still own one and use it as a daily driver here in Kochi, Kerala. When it comes to vibrations I truly agree (it gives amazing full body massage :P ), but I've always felt that keeping the revs low and speeds in the 40 -50 KMPH is the sweet spot for my Diesel Enfield. And yes, I only ride it around it because the fuel cost gives me around 70 KMPL on average. But now the novelty factor has kicked in and makes me proud to say that I ride around in a truly unique motorcycle, which is a piece of history in itself.

[@Legend55250]

What are the reactions of people on petrol pump😅

[@Mitracast]

My uncle use to own this. In Delhi winter morning my uncle use to send my poor cousin to warm up the engine. So the positive thing for my cousin is that he has good calf muscles.

[@vvaishnav_7]

Mind boggling phenomenal Faisal Bhai💥 Glad owning one these which was bought in 1982 by my dad in army... The toughest thing is to compress the engine and pumping and starting... But once u get the technique u owe the whole city such a attention grabber it is.. Evryone will jus be lookin at it cuz of its sound and vibration. Its an absolute beast ❤️

This is not RE Taurus. It is RE petrol bullet swaped with Greaves Diesel engine from local mechanics which is also endrosed by RTO. Taurus will look different in terms of Engine and paint scheme. Diesel bullets are more popular here in Tamil Nadu.!

Only? I guess there was a model named Taurus which was diesel too. I knew an ex-army guy who had lost his left arm but would ride Taurus and the clutch was on the right (modified) along with the accelerator. He was one hell of a rider PS: a lot of these bikes are found in TN Coimbatore region

i owned this one between 2017 and sold off in 2020 after throughly enjoying it ! cant go beyond 40 kmph cuz the vibrations kill you , i used to get 76kmpl average on this. ! 0:57 : thats a fly wheel cover. a lot of people use to tie rop on the flywheel then pull and start it ! 3:01 : thats actually the oil filter. 5:15 : there was another Indian company called Sooraj who also manufactured Diesel motorcycle; absolute copy of the Taurus but the side panel's were a bit different

[@arjj1]

How was the bikes condition? What's the cause for vibration above 40 kmph?

[@piyushchowre902]

@@arjj1 i had overhauled the engine in 2017 and used t for 400 km. smooth until 40kmph after that being diesel there too much of torque your chasis can take and the engine itself is very flimsy in that way can go to 60 if you are of with that that much vibrations but beyond 60 no chance.

[@rushabhlangalia]

Bike which you are riding is not in good condition Few points to correct 1. There are officially 2 Diesel bikes ever sold in India 1. Royal Enfield Taurus 2. Sooraj Diesel 3. Petrol bullet covert to Greaves Diesel engine on bullet (not company fitted) It's small trick to start this bike, you just need to pull up a decompression nobe which is near to a piston head then have to kick slow twice to make compression and mostly by 3rd kick it will start bcz it's Diesel engine which doesn't have spark plug to ignite. It doesn't need to pour diesel in that hole which showed we have to pour it only when it's extremely cold condition. 2. The bike which you are riding is not Taurus it's Diesel bullet which is petrol bullet convert to diesel with Greaves 6.5hp 15nm torque @3600 rpm. On Taurus engine has slightly lower power with round engine cover It's very nice bike just need to drive differently Yeah it vibrates alot I have Diesel bullet and I am very happy to using on a daily basis

Fact-checking the video unfortunately sir... First, the title is wrong!!! Sooraj 325cc Diesel was another diesel motorcycle which was sold in India. Sooraj was a company based in Saharanpur. And guess why RE came up with the Taurus... There were folks who were mounting the Greaves Diesel Engine on Bullet and it was becoming pretty popular in the south, especially in TN!!! Second, the smallest capacity product of Royal Enfield was the Enfield Mofa 22cc

[@ajithdevadiga3939]
