I have a 1999 Bullet that I just bought. How Reliable are they ?

Curious about RE dependability. I over-maintain my  toys but how do these RE Bullets measure up ?

They are decently reliable, not as good as the UCE bikes. They won't stand up to high speed cruising, keep it done to about 55. An occasional shot into the upper speed ranges won't hurt it though.
Maintenance is on par with any classic '50s/'60s Brit bike. Treated well, they will run for a long time. Mistreated, not so long.
