Belgium is renowned for many things – Moules Frite, Chocolate, Beer – and thanks to the efforts of Bullit you can now add to that list A2-compliant retro-styled motorcycles. The 125cc version of the Bluroc was launched lat last year, and it has now been joined by a bigger version with a larger-capacity motor and much-different styling. The Lifan-built V-twin four stroke motor has an output of 12.5kW (about 17hp in old money) from its 249cc, transmitted via a five-speed ‘box to the back wheel. Suspension is conventional forks with a monoshock at the rear supporting wire wheels and wavy brake discs. Bodywork-wise there is a perforated oil tank panel with a scrambler-style number board, 1970s-style fork gaiters and a new 13-litre tank. It comes in a choice of British Racing Green or matt grey, both with contrasting pinstriping, for £3599+OTR.
