I'm no fan of cruisers in general ( imo they usually make the rider look a bit prattish) but I have to say that this bike looks bloody good. When it comes to bike asthetics, Bullit really know the game.
I just bought it two day ago in Benelli East Jave main dealer. Red one Keeway 250 FI. I agree with all of your review coz i had rode it ..this bike was complete
Although I do like it the only thing I would like to see different is those tail pipes changed to something a little more sleek looking. You are spot on with the speedo being in an awkward place. Being 6’3” and on the heavy side a 250cc is enough for round town or commuting.
New subscriber. Very well done bike review. I had a Kawasaki Vulcan 650S when i was in the US and i had a Rusi Classic 250 customized in the Philippines. When i go back to the Philippines early part of next year, i will definitely buy this Bullit or Longjia 250. It looks absolutely stunning and the price is right.
hope someone could help: the specs from Bullit website it states: POWER : 20pk/ch - 13,5kW. The question is: can I ride this bike with a B licence (post 1997) ? thanks
I pretty much agree with everything you said about the bike ... Speedo a tad too small & That exhaust is Eurghhhh!!! . Apart from that a refreshing change .
Seems very Harley Davidson Street Rod inspired. Personally I love the look and sound of the Bullit Bluroc 250, although the Lexmoto Vendetta 250 would have to be the alternative as I can’t seem to find any Bullit dealers in Northern Ireland...
Another fantastic review and this time of a bike I'm eagerly awaiting for here in Indonesia. It'll be branded as a Benelli and the CEO of Benelli Indonesia has been teasing us with pics and vids, but no release date yet. It looks and sounds f-ing amazing! Exactly as I'd hoped. Thanks 🙏
@Didieth Ramone's Visuals since I posted my comment, indeed, I've already found out that it won't be a Benelli. It'll be a stand alone Keeway product. Just not sure about the "Geronimo" name. Surely there were better names on the list?
Looks much better than some the pretend small capacity Harleys I have seen down the years. Some of which made me bring me dinner back. Constantly amazed at how well styled these Chinese built backs are. I don't like some of the graphics and lining etc. on some. But colours and panel design are just spot on. If Triumph sold something similar (made in Thialand) and they sold if for £5k-ish MCN and the rest of bike press would go nuts over it.
how you deliver the message when review the bike is very awesome for me,..to be hones it's kinda of my Favourite...thanks for the nice review...In Indonesia will release soon,..i think it would be our nice references.
Belt drive is a good progression, but I'm waiting for the first Chinese shaft drive. No more bothersome Sprocket and Chain kits.. I'm sure they'll knock out a 400cc + bike in the future with this option. Personally, I didn't like the Cheese grater, fake radiator, or whatever it is meant to be known as, that sits in front of the engine. I would unbolt it and try it out as a BBQ grill.
Never seen the point of a rev counter on any bike I always change gear in my car or on my bike by the sound of the engine and the sense of speed. You could argue they are more for small bikes as you are more likely to red line them in top gear and under acceleration due to not being ridiculously quick
Great review! I just ordered this bike and can't wait to ride it. The only problem i have are the tyre size.. 140 rear is just too small.. is it possible to upgrade it to a wider one? Thanks.
As a Harley-Davidson owner (soft tail Streetbob) i must say if I was to considerably downsize my bike. I would certainly take a look at the Bullit 250 V twin. I will keep your dealership in mind. The othe V twin I would seriously think about is the Yamaha Bolt.
Do you know when your vid of the bigger engine hero is? I have a bullit hero 125 and can’t wait to buy the bigger brother if they bring one out!!! Can’t wait for your video on it. Thanks guys!!!
First of all, great and through review, live it. Secondly, I was thinking about buying my first bike and was thinking about this one. Do you think it would be a good choice for an absolute beginner?
Yes absolutely, not overly powerful, but powerful enough for a first bike, as long as your licence allows? Comfortable, smooth, well balanced bike; easy to manoeuvre.
Something that bothers me that a lot of manufacturers seem to be doing is that number plate holder. If it was even on the side instead I think it would be better but still a very nice looking 250 cruiser 👍
I think you will find that the law is , it has to be on the center line of the motorcycle in the UK . But seeing as most coppers don't know the law ,as some stupid twat tryed to do me for not having a FRONT number plate 15 years after they became '' No longer required '' I think its a safe bet that you'll get away with it as long as he's not menstruating at the time ..
the back looks a bit too stubby would like to see a little longer with a small rack . can see it being customised with a two tone retro paint job ,tan seat and a painted grafix or badge ,not that cheap looking crappy bullit sticker
That's was a good review and a bike I am very interested in along with the Belleni Imperiale (maybe that could be another review??). The only thing I think you should have included was a display of the dash showing how it is layed out whilst turned on, other than that good job!! Keep up the good work. 😁👍🏾
credit where its due that was well explained even the technical speck stuff good review bits i like bits i dont i agree i think the speedo would be a little offputing at first but you would get used to it i think the belt drive would be a worry maybe an unneccasary one but i would alyays be thinking is is going to snap ? you dont have this thought going through your mind with a chain i agree the exhausts look a little large and under the engine seems a little bare and gappy but it seems to ride nice i dont like the numberplate bracket thingy looks like a thrown on afterthought rarther than original design but they tell me its fashionable now but i did like the red
Cool but you can pick up a Yamaha vstar /virago used with 10,000 miles for $1000.And it is as bulletproof as they come.Add a tooth and you can get 90 mpg. This bike does look more modern.The Yamaha has better torque.
Alot of aspects of the bike are very similar to the Harley Sportster look, switch gear, wheels, seating position etc. I like 👌 (coming from a sportster owner lol ) question: what is on the centre of the bars and is it functional, the numbers and lines? Looks like a horizontal gauge from an aeroplane lol
Great review 👍Chinese build quality? Nice looking bike. 250cc, is that still a thing? Shame it's not a midrange size 500cc+. Loocks much cooler than a honda rebel 500
Needs to have at least 20 hp for me, to have 2 more hp compared to most 125s whilst having twice the capacity and twice the cylinders... Seems like too much of a compromise for an admittedly lovely looking and sounding motorcycle..
As always another top review !! And a Cracking looking bike..In a very small way the Bullit sound was reminiscent of a Manx Norton but only in a small way. Would you except £1233.63p for the Raptor ?? As thats all I've got in the bank 🤔🤔😀😀😀😀😀🙏🙏🙏😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Its well know Yamaha Virago based China engine. A lot of China Cruiser/Chopper motorcycle used it. No major problems. Also Its quality revised for Euro 4 norms with Bosch injection system. I dont think it will have major engine or electricity problem.
Wow, a blatant copy of the Harley Davidson fatbob , same seat pattern, similar exhaust, same tapered bars, indicators, mirrors,exact copy of the rear plate holder, upside down front forks, from the side the headlight cowell looks exactly the same, even the placement of the speedo is the same as is the style of it with the rev counter round the edge and a digital window for everything else, the risers are the exact same shape, its got the same bolts and the cutout, on the real fatbob the cutout enables you to adjust and take note of the angle the bars at, same style switch gear as the harley. It'd be interesting to put both bikes side by side.
I'm sorry but £3800 for an 18hp Chinese bike is way too expensive. Whilst I like the Bullit range & they do seem to be built well I'd still rather pay an extra 400 quid for a brand new duke 390. Even the lexmoto 380 is the same price as this bike but seems to give you more bike for your money. Looking forward to the release of the hero 460 though.
@@motorsforthemasses you're missing the point the point I was trying to make is this bike with it's small wheels & brakes is not enough bike for the asking price. Besides I'm pretty sure the 380 unit in the lexmoto will be put into other "styles" of bikes. Looking at prices online the vendetta which is identical to the bullit blu-roc & is the same engine as this bike is between £2799 & £2999 on the road.
There is a problem - acc. to some research birds shit on red colour 20% more than the another ones . It just hit my memory when was watching this., I wo'nt be looking back for source - sorry.
I got quite excited when I saw ''250 v twin bobber'' as I started rideing on a 250 in the 70's on L plates .. i would expect 24 bhp at least from a 250 even 50 years ago ,Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder , but seriousley, is that the best they can do ? a superdream could hit 90 and cruise all day at 75/80 , a kh 250 was good for over a ton and an rd 250 would suck this up its carbs . so we seem to have gone backwards into c15 or greeves territory from the late 50's early 60's , I cant see who this bike is marketed at apart from doddery old cunts like me . No one would come off a 125 and want a 250 and the amount of people downgrading to a smaller machine is very few , not enough to make the market worth while . Thanks for the vid , ride safe ;-)
I do personally feel a natural progression should be 125 to 400 but there are so few around. 250 is the new 300...perhaps, more aimed towards the A2 licence people or those wanting to downgrade to a lighter bike that can hold motorway speeds. Sadly Euro emission rules strangle bikes plus with FI and 4 strokeness that is the norm now, power has indeed gone backwards.
you need take out all original nut. Chinese manufacturer are generally installing their motorcycle with bad nut easy to rust. more over if you are a lazy man who not wash your ride often after trip in rain. it will make all bolt and nut rust quickly
What a smart looking bike, nice colour, and the belt drive is a winner in my book . Impressed nice one Bullitt 🤩👍
The sound and the look are spot on.
Thanks for the review, this motorcycle will be launch soon in Indonesia.. I'm so excited
I love how good this looks and sounds, great review! Imagine it with an aftermarket exhaust.
The mask at min 7:00 Absolutely fantastic, I want one.
OMG! Finally a bike to change from my K-light. Very nice!!
If I was too seriously downsize from my Softail Street Bob I would definitely take a look at one of these.
I'm no fan of cruisers in general ( imo they usually make the rider look a bit prattish) but I have to say that this bike looks bloody good. When it comes to bike asthetics, Bullit really know the game.
What a beautiful bike! Quite a surprise! I would like a slightly bigger version (more power) though, nothing crazy, maybe a 400cc
I agree
Some good looking details in the design with a nice tone from the pipes, like the colour.
Thanks a lot mate from india. I was waiting for this bikes proper video looks fantastic perfect for city rides. I just hope this releases in India.
The sound was awesome to hear😀😀😀😀
I just bought it two day ago in Benelli East Jave main dealer. Red one Keeway 250 FI. I agree with all of your review coz i had rode it ..this bike was complete
What's not to like here, everything is spot on, and the range is phenomenal. A half litre version would be an even more interesting proposition... 😉
P
Although I do like it the only thing I would like to see different is those tail pipes changed to something a little more sleek looking.
You are spot on with the speedo being in an awkward place.
Being 6’3” and on the heavy side a 250cc is enough for round town or commuting.
yeah, its lovely. One of these and a 250 White hero.
You explained it all very clear sir. Nice job!
This bike will be launched in Indonesia under Benelli brand....what is the connection between Bullit & Benelli? In Thailand under Hanway brand.....
This is what the Harley Street 750 should have looked like.
New subscriber. Very well done bike review. I had a Kawasaki Vulcan 650S when i was in the US and i had a Rusi Classic 250 customized in the Philippines. When i go back to the Philippines early part of next year, i will definitely buy this Bullit or Longjia 250. It looks absolutely stunning and the price is right.

In Indonesia that motorbike is named Keeway V Twin 250 which is distributed by PT Benelli Motor Indonesia (BMI).
I pretty much agree with everything you said about the bike ... Speedo a tad too small & That exhaust is Eurghhhh!!! . Apart from that a refreshing change .
If you want quality stainless pipes fitted as standard. Then the cost would no dobt go up.
Seems very Harley Davidson Street Rod inspired. Personally I love the look and sound of the Bullit Bluroc 250, although the Lexmoto Vendetta 250 would have to be the alternative as I can’t seem to find any Bullit dealers in Northern Ireland...

Thanks a lot! Sure seems like a good upgrade from my K-light 125. How does it handle on hills? What seemed to be a good cruising speed ?? Thanks
Nice review dude
I need this girl
love the look of the bike , satin grey would be my choice
I thought that too , But then the RED is rather Sparkly !
Looks much better than some the pretend small capacity Harleys I have seen down the years. Some of which made me bring me dinner back.

Diseño,eterno, cómoda, económica, para todo,currar,paseos bonita,parece que sea una 600
Gracias por la review, muy bonita la v bob, cual es la velocidad máxima?
Belt drive is a good progression, but I'm waiting for the first Chinese shaft drive.
No more bothersome Sprocket and Chain kits.. I'm sure they'll knock out a 400cc +
bike in the future with this option.
Personally, I didn't like the Cheese grater, fake radiator, or whatever it is meant to
be known as, that sits in front of the engine. I would unbolt it and try it out as a
BBQ grill.
Quite like the pseudo-80's cruiser styling, it'd make a great commuter that stands out from the usual crowd.
Really nice looking machine love the sound. I dont think it sells in the united states yet
A nice bike , but I prefer the Bluroc 250 . Which is my next bike after the 125 Bluroc 👍
I like it its a good looking bike.
Is this Hanway V-bob 250 in other market?
GPS backlit speedo in the centre of the bars.. job's a good'un.
0 - 62miles per hour acceleration?
What is the point of a rev counter on a low power bike? I would much prefer a big analogue speedo. Apart from that it looks good.
Never seen the point of a rev counter on any bike
I always change gear in my car or on my bike by the sound of the engine and the sense of speed.
You could argue they are more for small bikes as you are more likely to red line them in top gear and under acceleration due to not being ridiculously quick
It should be a 400 cc engine 👌
Lovely bike, sound , price , performance all seem great my only issue with looks is I think the back end looks a bit dated and cheap.
V-bob 250 or crossfire rm250 guys??
You opinion...
Great review! I just ordered this bike and can't wait to ride it. The only problem i have are the tyre size.. 140 rear is just too small.. is it possible to upgrade it to a wider one? Thanks.
Hi, I did mention that in the video. 140 is thin but nothing bigger will fit

The othe V twin I would seriously think about is the Yamaha Bolt.
looks like a fun little thing but for a what i assume chinese made motor thats 250cc id still rather go for a honda rebel 500 2021 for the same price

Are side plates legal in the UK? Some of my Harley mates have them. But nobody has confirmed if they are road legal.
James Patterson I’m fairly certain as long as it’s on the left side and is clearly visible then yes (not 100% sure)
