sorry to interrupt.. but regarding the Thunderbird's seating and comfort, did any one of you feel back pain while riding it(without a pillion) ..Dunno why, but riding this for a few kms gave me a good back pain..May be 'cos of the weight of the bike?(i'm 5'9..75kg) ..??

Why is it that you are not suggesting 350? any particular reason?

Hi just wanted to know which would be better in terms of one thing only - riding comfort (& handling) over long distances & over all sorts off terrain - Bullet 350 classic vs thunderbird twinspark???

Am planning to buy either one of these. I am a guy who loves to travel long distances n over all sorts of roads ... n even if there is no proper road !

I have TBTS & have ridden classic 350 also.....If your planning to ride in city as well as highways i prefer cl350 but if your using for highway TBTS is the way to go. I personally have done 400kms in a 12 hrs.

Yesterday was having a little discussion (more like an argument) with my brother regarding which bike to go for. Though at the end i rubbished all his comments saying it was just silly (am bigger you know

) but something he told me did strike me and is still lingering on in my head, so thought i will put it here.

His point was apart from bigger engine and the name and legacy of RE and looks to some extent, RE bikes have nothing going for them in terms of performance, reliability, and features and do not justify its reputation. There is a false hype created around RE by the fans of RE. People who own RE bikes are RE fanatics and believe all its shortcomings as the character of the bike and learn to live with it (and even appreciate it). Comments you get about an RE are like "A bullet is a bullet" or "nothing can be compared to it," and so on. Fans of bullet put it in a completely different league making it the only one running in that race and it is obvious to come first.

On the other hand, the owners of bajaj or HH or other jap models have options to chose from, intensifying the competition between these models and forcing the manufacturer to improve quality.

So guys, what you think?

(btw he is a fan of avenger)

Your brother is absolutley correct... 350 classic has just 19bhp power as per RE website CBR 250 R I own (Honda) pumps out 25bhp with a 249.9cc mill ... RE is just going forward with legacy and some fan club no offence meant but this is a fact
