I ask this because I own a bullet Electra 5S, and I know that it has an old CI engine which is extremely lethargic and under-performing. However, since the chassis remains same in newer bullets as well, I believe the riding experience will not change much except that new bullets are quicker and faster with new UCE engine. Also, I have ridden a Harley 883 (one of the lower capacity Harleys). I personally found that any bullet till date (including Classics) cannot equal any Harley in any department, except that bullets will give better FE per litre of petrol. 883 being heavier is still easier to handle in tight traffic in my experience. I am sure it will not change much with a Classic as well. And I believe that handling is a major part of riding pleasure. And sound? now again, which bullet can match that against a Harley twin?
Hello their,
personally i wanted to say the 1st of all cost of Royal Enfield, FE (as you said), and bull has his own charm (sound, riding, presences) which you cant see in other bikes simple that's what i mean simple (i rode Harley 48 also & Triumph Bonneville)
don't mind Happy riding
