Both carry the Bullet's long, proud look and its classic details. The real difference is the engine: the 350's single is light and simple, and the 650 is the first Bullet with a twin, made for longer days.
Choose the 350 if…
- Most of your miles are on surface streets and back roads.
- You want the lighter, simpler Bullet.
- You love the thump of a single.
Choose the 650 if…
- You want the Bullet look with room to stretch out.
- You want 46.4 hp and a sixth gear for the freeway.
- You want a bigger tank and a 43 mm fork.
Which one fits your riding style?
Here's where the difference shows up on the road.
Around town
The 350 is 106 lb lighter, which you'll feel every time you park or turn around. The 650 is easy in traffic, but expect to work a little more in a parking lot.
The difference: Around town, the 350 is easier.
Freeway and longer trips
Reviewers call the 650's power delivery smooth as butter and the ride charming and relaxed. With 46.4 hp and six gears, it makes freeway miles easy. The 350 is plush and comfortable on a long ride, it just works harder at speed.
The difference: For distance, choose the 650.
Weekend back roads
The 350's skinny tires make it eager to tip into a corner, and it's a joy on slower roads. The 650 brings a 320 mm front disc and a 43 mm fork when the pace picks up.
The difference: The 350 is playful. The 650 is more relaxed and brings more brake.

Is the Bullet 650 worth the step up?
It comes down to where you ride.
If most of your miles are surface streets and back roads, the 350 is the Bullet in its purest form, and you may never want more.
If you want the Bullet look for longer days and freeway stretches, the 650's twin, sixth gear and bigger tank earn their keep. The step up is $3,000 in MSRP.
Our advice: Don't pay for a twin you won't use. But if the long road is calling, the 650 makes it a pleasure.
The best way to decide is to sit on both, back to back. We'll have them side by side for you.
