Bought the lexmoto version same bike but less money. Darryl Redmill your right needs to be 350-400cc struggles on hills and with head winds the rest of the bike would handle more power easily. So as soon as a big bore kit is available I will fit one. Along with a decent ECU.
I love watching these films I am 55 and dont think I will ever be a biker but I like to fantasize ...
Reminds me of the Moto Morini 3 1/2 from 1980.
Love the style of it!
in love with the looks of this bike
Great review. Thanks.
Good review - thanks
Beautiful bike. Love it
Cheers for the vid. Looking at this or the Meteor 350 for some Sunday run-arounds. Love the look of both so probably just need to ride both to see what seating position I prefer and see what feels right for my size.
Lexmoto Vendetta appears to be the same bike but is only £2900
Yeah I was thinking exactly the same, they are virtually identical in most respects, I'll bet they are both China made and possible in the same factory!
Lexmoto Vendetta is the same bike and yes it is £800 cheaper, same power, torque, everything. someone is being greedy.
Just watch clips of both and yes they look very similar but price difference
Yes.. They are made in the same factory. Is there anything thats not made in china. When it comes to Chinese made.. It is a rip off. This bike looks amazing BUT.. limiter comes on very early. I think it was at 5000 rev when I rode it, it's a shame.
@@andrewlambert4934 Lucky you for being able to test ride on one 😳🙄 Lexmoto couldn’t give a shit when I contacted them 🤷🏻♂️
Nice looking bike sounds great 👍
Very good review, I am very glad that you liked the bike because many people in my country, Perú, did not like it because of its price and what it offered, but personally I love it, it was brought to Peru by a brand called Ssenda under the name of patagonia 250 v8 as the successor of the patagonia 169 (bullit bluroc 125), and the two differences that I noticed, was that the bullit comes with ABS brakes, instead to Peru it arrived with CBS brakes, although I am not very sure of this figure, the data sheet indicates that it arrived to Peru with 21. 6 hp, however, thanks for talking about this bike, I love to know more about it and I hope to buy it someday.
I think the Bullet 250 is a cracking little bike .Nice blog.🇬🇧😁
I like this alot.
Sounds good, looks good and I do like the pipework.
Whole thing is stainless steel too 😁
Great looking bike, reminded me of an Italian v-twin from the 1970’s👍
A mini Ducati Dharma perhaps?
Absolute bargain. Ideal for someone looking to hang their gloves up due to age - nice and light, looks great & goes well enough 👍
Absolute bargain! 🤨 Not really as has been said it's exactly the same as the £800 cheaper lexmoto vendetta 250 including the 2 year parts and labor warranty! Now that's a bargain!
Great Vid! Nice looking Bike! But What about vibrations, normaly the 250 are one cilynder this one have two is it has less vib?
What a beautiful motorcycle with a pleasant sound from that V2
Very nice sounding and good looking Bike! Build a 500 of it, sell it in germany and i would buy it. Thank You for the good reviews!!
♥Motors for the Masses
Lovely bike. The deauville won’t look too different I’d imagine when your done with it.
Any chance you guys could review the herald classic and or cafe 400 fairly similar bikes so would be good to hear your thoughts.
It looks very well built ...
It's worth pointing out that the bike has a phenomenally long long stroke of 66mm. Most two fifty twins are around 50mm, so despite what the official foot pounds stats are the engine will always feel really gutsy (not gutless)!
Another good vid, thanks guys. I think this looks absolutely lovely. As you say this might be one for those who like to cruise rather than race. It deserves to be a success, but I do wonder if the low hp figure will deter some buyers from even trying it out.
This seems like its not much faster than a good 125, but it has a big advantage over a 125, in that it will keep up with A road traffic around 60 or 70mph at lower revs than a 125, so its probably going to a lot easier covering longer distances.
Maybe that's its niche- if your commute includes 15 miles of fast A roads you can do it on this bike without the engine screaming and being near to the redline the whole time, and its not much dearer than a high-end 125cc.
It does get up to speed much quicker than a 125 too
@@motorsforthemasses , another big plus point then- no pinning the throttle hard and crouching down, watching the needle crawl up up from 50 to 60mph.
This makes a lot of sense for those who want a light, cheap bike that costs not much more than a 15bhp 125cc, that will keep up with A road traffic (and will probably be ok on the inner lanes of a motorway for a while) with a lot less fuss than a 125cc, and wont annoy you by screaming its lungs out the whole time it is above 55mph.
The key thing for the target demographic is they will have passed their A2 test at least, so they may be slightly older, they wont mind that it doesnt have a the same overtaking speed as a 25hp 250, and they want something with those classic good looks- and this is one of the best looking 250s around.
If you look at the other 250cc options for around £3.5k (which is probably what you'll start seeing these for on autotrader), they are mostly used, probably dropped a couple of times, and the engine might have taken a hiding from the previous owner.
I do wish they'd upped the power by just 2 or 3 bhp, not so much for the actual performance, but from a marketing viewpoint- to just give it that bit of separation from the group of 125s that have 15bhp, and that on the face of it, look like direct competition.
It deserves to be a winner- you can only hope people stop and think about what it can actually do better than a 125, and much cheaper than other 250s, and that they don't just turn away when they see the bhp figure.
I picked up a Svartpilen 401 with 800 miles on the clock for £3900. I had a Bullit Spirit 125 - it was nice but lacked power, and had some build quality issues. My Svartpilen feels so much better made, designed and finished. With so many great deals around on the Svartpilen's I'd suggest that as better option.
I hear you....but looks are a big influence for a lot of people.
This is the 4th brand/model for the same bike. Italjet, ventorini, lexmoto & now bullit
Can you make a video about builet as a company. I like their bikes but finding it hard to know much about their background. I want the peace of mind that I could get spare parts and who actually is their dealers in the UK for when you want the bike serviced. With Mutt motorcycles you get the peace of mind but so far not so with the builet.
Sounds as good as it looks
Nice little bike
You look like Steve McQueen on it
I think this bike would also be great with road tyres and cafe racer drag bars / M-bars .
Have they made the custom Version with the flat seat that you mentioned?
Which is better you think, this or the bulit hero 250? Thanks for your insight
Nice looking bike Mark 👌 Refreshing to see a V twin for a change - I'll bet that motor can trace it's lineage back to the Yamaha Virago?
Dont you mean you bet it's a cheap chinese rip off copy of a Yamaha engine
Nice bike if it was a 400/500 cc definitely a winner but still a brill looking machine..And keep the vids coming cos I might be in self isolation very soon 😟😟
Stay safe
I’m with you my Wobbly Brother! 300 more cc’s would be nice.
In which case you'd buy a 500 🤷🏻♂️
Do you get much vibration through the seat and handle bars
Is the round logo / sign thingy on the side removable? Sounds lovely though :)
Everything is removable.
Another incarnation of the Italjet Bucaneer from 3-4 years ago.
Thanks for another helpful review. Reckon it could venture off road?
I would say it can handle it.
Do you feel vibration at 4/5 rotations?
didnt mention about pillion? would it be comfortable for them
That looks like a well built high quality machine. Please bring it to the US I need one. And under 4000
Take a look at the lexmoto vendetta, and save ya cash!
They have the same bike in the US in a different name. SSR Buccaneer 250i Classic.
@@amsd1231 Thanks I will check it out
Hello Mark ? if you’ve got a choice between the blue rock two 250 or the hero 250 which one wound you buy ? Look forward to hearing from you love the channel
Thanks Neil
Hi Neil, that is a tricky choice. I would say it depends on what you need it for. If you want to do green laning, the Hero would be better, if for country lane jaunts and trips out, the Bluroc would be better. If you are 5ft 10 and above, the Hero would be good, but shorter than that, may be a struggle. Rider satisfaction, the hero is better.
Interesting looking bike. Hideous tail end though with the numberplate hanging from that feeble looking sticky out bit
Another cool bike we won't see in Canada..... :-(
Btw folks does anyone know how this bad boy would fare on longer journeys? Got a pal in North of Scotland I need to visit!
Looks good proportionally for you. How tall are you for reference chap?
5ft 10 and a half! (The half is important).
Would be nice if they put this engine in the spirit.
Compare with archive motorcycle 250 ?
Great review. Is there any difference between this and the Lexmoto Vendetta 250? Looks exactly the same to me
A few refinement details really.
Can you tell us what these refinements are please? Eg it's said the vendetta has an anoying fuelling issue. Is this cured on the V2?
Heralds upcoming brat 250, Mash motorcycles two fifty and dirt track are all contenders arguably better and cheaper. You can get 2019 GSX250, VStrom 250, CB300, BMW 310R & GS all costing a little less. It will be agreeable finance that make or break this model. That sound though.... does sound good.
I get that....but as you say....V-twin sound. Herald....coming soon for review here.
Must admit that exhaust sound is pretty sweet!
If you were given the choice of the same model with either the v2 or the CF 250 single engine which engine would you choose?
V2 simply because it sounds so good and looks so much better. OK not as quick, but speed is not always the most important factor.
Am a new rider in my 50s would you recommend the bullit spirt as I like the cafe racer style great vid beautiful looking bike many thanks.j
Bullit Spirit...Mash Cafe... depends on your height I would say.
Am 5/10
Loved the bike and it's sound, but I'd change the handle bar. Looks a bit weird, with the horizontal bar and it looks very tall. But maybe it would make it a less comfortable riding position. That head light grid... or cage, seems too much and decorative. Would also put different mirrors, like those handlebar end ones.
Doesn't seems to be a large bike, or is it? Also, how tall is the rider?
He said on another video that he is 5 ft 10.
beautiful bike . for that price you can get the Benellie 400 retro road classic which is like going back in time check the video out pretty good for the price
I'm always looking for bike that can replace, and take me back to the glory days of the early 2 stroke 70's and the Yamaha 360s silver RT2 and 400 thumpers. I'm sure theres a market for those bikes today brand new . why doesn't Yamaha produce them again? yet all you have are massively overpriced old barn finds and spares hard to find. Glad to see this 250 available in the UK its as close as you going to get nowadays
I just WISH we all had the common sense to mothball all our old classics but NO we were little spoilt arsholes and they kind of "disappeared " over time. Mine took a walk because my younger brother borrowed my Yamaha 360 and forgot to lock it. UNFORGIVEN the lesson here is if you have a winner MOTHBALL IT, bury it , and one day it will be worth a ££$$ fortune.
NOx is one of the reasons diesel cars are getting banned/more restricted along with carbon soot. As you increases compression ratios for fuel efficiency and power combustion temps go up causing N2 in the air to combust with O2. High performance per litre engines aka motorcycle engine produce more NOx
That's a CRACK-ING😉 "see what I did there" looking and sounding bike 👌👍
sad to say there doesn't seem to be a lot of dealers that have these bikes here in the States .
Think it’s marketed as an SSR Buccaneer or Italjet Buccaneer in the states
BUCCANEER does similar bike in the US
You say that the whole rev counter is red and you don't know where it tops out, 🤔 surely you can see where the rev limiter is as it would be interesting to know what is the max rpm
Self answer - 9000 rpm 🤷🏻♂️
How can you not imagine any other Bike that it can be equated too???
The Lexmoto Vendetta is this bike's virtual TWIN...
In fact I was going to comment here on the number of coincidences and ask if they
come from the same Chinese factory.
They are both around the same bhp too.
Apparently the Lexmoto is not as well made (according to Bullit.......) Bullit Colours are nicer.
Love the looks , BUT needs a bigger engine with more oomph for those ahem larger riders amongst us lol
Watch this space....
@@motorsforthemasses watching this space.
Can you tell me were the dealerships are please ?
Depends where you are?
When is that custom design coming out?
I asked the same question recently...still don't know.
@@motorsforthemasses shame :( I'm getting my A2 license. Getting one of these. Would be awesome to see that design before that. In your opinion is it worth it to wait for it?
Twenty seconds in to the bike reveal and I'm thinking "Oh look, a rebadged Lexmoto Vendetta".
Lexmoto Vendetta,a rebadged version of the Italjet Bucaneer.
@@morini500dave I don't think we get italjet in the UK any more but I may be wrong.
mitchell nix Saw a dealer sale on eBay last year,think they’re sold in the Far East market though,Italjet being a better known name.
@@mitchellnix5274 Italjet currently only seem to do the fast scooter, imported by MotoGB
Identical
It’s great that you liked sitting on it that way while you looked to the right, but, do you realize, that we never got to see the left side of this motorcycle? Any good motorcycle review should have at least a quick (though, hopefully, a slow) walkaround.
Really? 1m24; 2m55, 3m10...and whilst riding. Not sure how you missed it.
Why would anyone want to a £700 premium over the lexmoto vendetta? With a superior dealer coverage and with CMPO excellent parts site. Did Bullit think no one would notice? As an Italjet Buccaneer in Malaysia the cafe racer version looks well.
That green though.....
@@motorsforthemasses come on guys! Seriously... Green! That's it for ya £700 get real
Sorry make that £800!!
Its the same as the vendetta, but more expensive. It could do with having more power. If you want a cheap retro ride why not buy a 125. Like the Tempest, which is not far off the same power, but nearly £2000 less!
I hear what you are saying but that V-twin is much nicer and it does get up to speed much quicker and stays there.
Thats a fair one, it does look good to be fair. Although, I'm not sure of the seat height for those of 6ft and over? In that case however the vendetta would be the comparison would it not? On paper it looks the same bike? I guess its would be down to Personal preference of finish, dealership waranty and a matter of £700 difference?
@@user-wh2fd2yx2y lexmoto give 2 years warranty and 12 months roadside assistance
So is it a Bullit or a Lexmoto? The Bluroc and Vendetta look like the same bike to me! 😀
Same bike different logos Vendetta about £600 less.
@@TheAncientBiker it's £800 cheaper and exactly the same bar colour and decals
Is it the same as the lexmoto vendetta
But significantly more expensive! 🤨
Lexmoto Vendetta 250
What's the difference between this bike and the lexmoto 250 apart from the obvious price difference.Even the colour looks the same....
That's about it 👍🏻 🤣
Dan ini baru akan dijual di bulan feb mendatang
Mei lebih tepatnya 🤣. Kata salesnya demikian 😅
I think the drag race wasn't fair... It was very short and only once... Rider launch skills would play a massively influential role here. So, sadly not a real world reflection of its power.
Hey, I'm looking to buy this motorcycle, how does it perform over steep hills?
Do ya self a favour, and take a look at lexmoto vendetta 250 and save yourself a lot of cash!
Oh dear oh dear, if Bullit even sell one of these in the UK I'd be surprised. Lexmoto vendetta vtwin much cheaper and is a handsome little thing but surely a Benelli Imperiale 400 which is only £3.5k is a much better bet.
Imperiale is a completely different style though. Vendetta I think ruined it with colour choices
@@motorsforthemasses Its more or less the same colours...Nice bike though,could well be my next bike..Do like the Benelli 400 but a bit too retro,also the Mutt gtss 250..
@@motorsforthemasses gold and black! How is that ruining it 🤔 but colour is a personal thing
Mark , Where's Malcolm?
At home....I'm working on him lol
Seems quite expensive compared to the Lexmoto Vendetta which is the same bike and significantly cheaper.
Exactly, bet they come out of the same Chinese factory, just with minor changes related to the retailers requirement
And £800 is a lot of cash!
This looks identical to the Lexmoto Vendetta... 🤔
Shame it's 600 quid more expensive than the identical Lexmoto Vendetta..do like the colour but....
Errr £800 at list
Lexmoto 250 vendetta much cheaper and virtually identical, how did you miss that! 😬.... Oh wait having read through the comments it appears that you are well aware of the lexmoto vendetta 250 but seem to have a bias to the green colour 🤔
Bike you tested I now own ray Newton no proplem so far 1000 onclock thanks mark and happy riding
Surely that’s identical to the Lexmoto Vendetta 250 which is £700 cheaper
I believe so. BULLIT has a nicer seat and better colours I feel.
Motors for the Masses. Seat looks identical to me and the Vendetta comes with two different colour schemes. Sill wondering why Bullit are charging £700 more?
@@torkington5 copy that,
@@motorsforthemasses not £700 better tho, come on! 🤨
@@torkington5 it's called greed!
I have a Harley-Davidson street bob and must say after looking at the video I am very impressed with that 250 Bullit. If I could afford it I would certainly buy one as my 2nd bike for short rideouts. I'm sure it would turn head at my local HOG SHOP.
Try the lexmoto vendetta 250 same bike, £800 cheaper!
for me the oval side pannels are a 100% turn off ehaust id too low for a scrambler and the rear caliper looks thrown on as an afterthought as the bracket is huge why two cylinders would have looked fine with one but at least there trying but sadly its no basham bross 250 hope the restyling is better only thing i like is the seat height and the sound
Only 60 MPG ? Could you give a more accurate figure
Pretty impossible to be honest as there are always so many factors. Rider weight, terrain, weather, riding style....
Lexmoto vendetta 250 quote 88 mpg with the 13 liter tank
Lovely looking bike but spoilt by the lack of HP 16 BHP on a 250 is ridiculously low, should be a minimum of 25 BHP. You can get 16 BHP out of some standard 125 cc bikes. Shame really and a bit pointless. My old TDR 125 in the 90s had 18 BHP and was good for 90 MPH. So this bullit would be very disappointing, it's got the looks of a much better bike than it actually is. It's really sad when they make something look so good yet its let down by the low power output and poor MPG, 60 MPG not good I can get that from my Kawasaki ER6F and thar has 74 BHP. £3700 is far too much for a 16 BHP machine.
Hero Vs bluroc
Is this another Chinese built bike???
Like so many
@@motorsforthemasses it is a great looking bike.. today I got a insurance quote.. wow... it's more than my Suzuki bandit 650.
151k ? Not with me on it 😉
Me neither...251

I’m a little over 19 stone in old money hahaha and 6’3”
Don’t get me wrong I like the looks but I would really like a 450 or 500 twin. A little more power with a smoother ride over a prolonged distances.
Only 60?? My F800R does that.. two up and fully laden.... that's truly appalling from a 250!!!
Who said anything about 60?
Boon
Why would anyone Pay this stupid money for the bullit name when the Lexmoto is the same bike at about £800 cheaper.
Are these chinese
Yup! Sure are
I honestly don't like it........ it reminds me of the Yamaha TW 200......in fact that what it is all but name and engine......... the engine is Yamaha's V twin from the Virago?............ why couldn't it have a 21 inch front wheel or 19 inch and an 18 inch rear wheel and a 250 single cylinder engine....... a full front mudguard... not a quarter one......... then you could class it as a true trail bike which don't exist any more........because in today's market you either have the commuter bike or an off-road bike today there is no such thing as a trail bike any more the closest is the Yamaha xt250 SEROW............... why don't the Chinese use that engine and copy the bike and sell it in the UK. meaning Yamaha will not bring the bike to the UK themselves.......... we must be the only country in the world that Yamaha will not import this bike to. yet everyone that comes over here has a grey import get snapped up very quickly........ it seems there's something strange about this word "trail bike" nobody wants to make one let alone sell it........ yet it is the true dual purpose motorcycle.
Description of a trail bike........ it has an 18 inch rear and 21 inch front wheel....... it has a low seat height of about 830-40 mm it has a trials bike steering angle so it can be manoeuvred very easily...... it as a reasonable sized tank for a 250 of about 13 to 14 L...... it has like a trial bike a full front mudguard.......... it's engine size is between 250 and 400cc and they are single cylinders 4 stroke air cool, it had the option as well to change the front mudguard from low to high. also the brake pedal is not hanging below the foot pedal it goes over the top like trials bike.
that bike doesn't exist today. yet it did years ago in the 70s and 80s ...........today's motorbikes are becoming a joke they are becoming impractical............ the seat height is too high.......... the fuel tanks to small............ unless you buy the I need a ladder to get on it an adventure bikes......... which are way too heavily and to complicated to be an adventure bike........ and overpriced. for what they are.............. a motorbike is just two wheels frame and an engine.......so why are they costing more than a car in some cases. work out how much material goes into making your average bike compared to your average car............. it seems society hates motorbikes if they have to sell them then they have to be ridiculous to try and put people off buying them............. it's no wonder all our young people are turning to cars these days...................and the proof of that in the 50's- 60's - 70's even early 80's young people rode motorbikes now they all drive cars. The mass of young people riding motorbikes today are the ones that are riding them illegally you seen them in their gangs riding around the streets doing wheelies. giving motorcycling a bad name.
Don't like front of this bike.
WHY OH WHY did you ruin the special, nice, exiting and gorgeous engine sound of the bike with "music" ??? WHY ????? Can't you people nowadays live NOT EVEN ONE MINUTE without irritating NOISE ??
😡😠
