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

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

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.

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.

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

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.!

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

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

In 4:44, that grab rail is used to lift and put centre stand .

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 ❤️

That uncle was reviewing his own scooty pep+ kudos 🙏🏻

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

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.

Due to very high Torque to Power ratio (2.4) it gives a good mileage.

Faisal to himself: I love diesel cars but here I get a diesel motorcycle 🤣😂😂 Thanks for 100 likes 😇😘 I got 1st time 100 likes 🤩

Same happened with yamaha RX100 due to emissions and two stroke... But this being a diesel would have any how been discontinued due to emissions had RE updated the diesel engine this would have been a great buy even to this day... Nice to see..👍

Actually this is not the only diesel motorcycle. There were two models on sale. There was the Royal enfield Taurus and the second model was Sooraj 325 diesel. These look identical. Absolutely love your content ❤️

We had one of these back in the early 2000s. We had a milk business and my uncle used to haul big ass milk cannisters on this. Infact if I know correctly we have always had a Royal Enfield in the family for past 40 years. Currently have Thunderbird. Planning to upgrade to SM 650 as soon as I can.

Awesome as always !!! Please also review RE Explorer, RE Machismo LB, RE Lightning, Yezdi Jawa, Rajdoot, etc.............

"The pillion footpeg vibrated and fell off...and so did the pillion as well" ..... Faisal you are hilarious mate..!

Great sense of humor. I'd believe anything this guys said.

sound of this bike is almost like a tractor😂

One thing I like about Faisal is, he speaks a lot, but when it comes to video title, it’s concise.

Reminded me of the Torque rush of the swift... That was awesome i drove it in 2014 maybe

I think this engine modified used in van to carry good in the villages of West Bengal with insane notice & air pollution & no breaks.

My father uses a an 1985 model "Hero Honda sleek " which is at those days believed to give 80kms per litre . And I am happy cause it works till now and still gives min 50kms per litre , And maintaining the stock look of the vehicle till now

Brakes are absolutely no problem at all. I wrote RE 2000 MODEL when i was in 4th standard. And it was pretty easy to handle.

if this bike were in my country, it'll be in a beautiful condition. many people love classic bike here.

Faisal's struggle with kicking is unintentionally hilarious 😂🥲

Old is gold...😍😍😍

There used to be another diesel bike on sale named Sooraj 325.

As classic as it can get💙

New generation bikers will never understand this beauty ..

Proud to be a owner of diesel bullet 💯

I never get bored of ur vlogs♥️

Faisal there is one correction.. this is not the only diesel motorcycle... There is another diesel motorcycle was there ,and that's name is Suraj .

Thank you after years I have laughed with joy to see an beast again and I will find and get this

Hi, Faisal. You are doing great work in explicating all automotive and their features. Can you add another blog for real-time mileage too irrespective to the ARAI claim reports. This will be helpful for many enthusiasts.

I was laughing like crazy when faisal was trying to start this beast

This enfield taurus was a unique diesel bike in those times.

Most lovable bike from Royal Enfield 😍 ❤...

My 2005 scooty vibrates even more 🥲

I don't mean no disrespect and acknowledge all the hard work you've put into creating this content. THIS MY FRIEND IS NO RE TAURUS BUT A CHEAPER ALTERNATIVE USING THE LOMBARDINI PUMPSET ENGINE WIDELY USED IN SOORAJ MOTORCYCLES AS WELL. i USED TO OWN A FEW AND AM NOW JUST LEFT WITH 2 AND BOTH ARE ORIGINAL RE TAURUS BUILT USING THE CROMPTON GREAVES ENGINE.

Starting spoound of the bike reminded me of those old disel generator

I can’t believe this i was thinking of diesel bullet and u uploaded this

Hey Faisal! Please review Royal Enfield Bullet 350 Standard. Plz plz plz 🙏🙏

That uncle on the pep 😂😂😂

Gear box right side creates some confusion, once you get used to it it’ll be smooth, had got opportunity to drive it couple of time , the thump it generates is awesome, could feel till 16 feet

nice old classic Enfield Diesel. Sweet

Watching Faisal Khan's video I learnt English Perfectly Thankyou Faisal Sir ❤️😂

Faisal bhai we need a Ci engine standard bullet(right side gear petrol) review also but please use a good condition bike 😹

The first and the last diesel bike in india.

Recently seen Gangan chaudhary's video on it, and you came with this.

I have this and used regurly no issue exept vibration and do not go more then 70 km

Sounds like a generator...😅🤣💥

I had one of in 2011 that can give 80 kmpl mileage most difficult task is how to start this bike

Hi Faisal i didn't expected any diesel bike or bullet Amazing job faisal

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

Bro I like ur videos kindly make a video on XUV 400... 🙏🏻😀

Faisal never riding anything in top gear. This time had fun faisal obsessing to reach too gear.

Check out the petrol CI.. I'm sure you'll love it..

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

That was that slowest "off we go" ever

Horn doesn't work because horn need not work 🚫

Key takeaways: - A diesel is a diesel is a diesel. - 1980s to 2000. - 70 km/L. - Massage function. (Vibrations) - Faisal: "What the fluff!"

The exhaust note🤤🤤🤤

In terms of vibrations Enfield machismo AVL engine also does vibrations alot make a video on that too its a petrol engine with 50 kmpl mileage and it can start and work without battery too

That's close to my home. Hope you had a good time!

Hey faisal please make a vlog on tractor 🚜

Epic vlog... one of those with lots of humour and comic :D .. Very Natural and Great work!!

You can make a vlog on yamaha ybx too.. a legendary motorcycle from yamaha

Hi, I have a dedicated channel to Diesel bullet and have it modified to 10 HP with LD440 engine and done Ladakh on diesel bullet.

watching you since 15 k subscribers. loved the videos as always. keep the content coming in.

Faisal is a 2 k kid who has no clue of this legendary bike and crase it had during 80s. I understand his frustration. I am surprised he was even able to ride it.

My father owns a Royal Enfield old one and that too has the gear lever on the right side

My buddy did not do full research. This is not company Diesel. Its a modified petrol bullet with a Greaves engine. Original Taurus is way more beautiful to look at.

This bike had a unique feature which was Butt massaging function.

Also do a review of Royal Enfield Standard "CI' engine

Remembering my uncle's Diesel bulllet

One uncle used to drive this near my home. One day I saw him putting blue kerosene in the fuel tank. What kinda engines this bikes had? Crazy. 😅

Plz also drive review ROYAL ENFIELD BULLET STANDARD 2022

This vlog is so much fun man 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

What a coincidence i was watching some diesal bullet video and found this i thought it's an old video

Old uncle vibrating in winters😂

The best part of the video when faisal sweating for the kick to get started Rofl

Perhaps they should mass manufacture royal enfield diesel bike in Malaysia for ASEAN markets....also give a lot of ASEANs anti aging leg exercise required to start the bike.....sorry too disturb...

A truly brilliant review. Most enjoyable.

Next is diesel locomotive trial

Ducati Diavel diesel v sell huwa thaa india me

One of our neighbour use to have this bike it use to sound like an auto to be precise those diesel piagios

He's so tall that the intro to the bullet looked like it was shot on a drone
