Well, my 2000 model Bullet (apart from the LHS gearshift, electric starter, doughy muffler, and the indicators) is almost a carbon copy of a 1953 or 1954 model that I parked beside at an Historic Motorcycle meet in Allora a few years ago.
It isn't a fast bike, by any means, but for cruising around rural backroads, it's an absolute joy!
