Dear All, i am new to xBhp. I have decided to own a bullet. visited Legend Motors (Royal Enfield at Tambaram). Thunderbird Twinspark, Electra 350 & Classic 350 all are appealing. I have not done test ride on any of these as they dont give for testride on sundays and after 5.00 pm in weekdays. I will be heldup in office till 8.00 pm everyday. I have been riding TVS Victor for 6 years now so new to Bullet. Once when i was there in the showroom, i was able to talk to a mechanic and a thunderbird owner. Mechanic told me that other than thunderbird all the other bullets visit workshop for one or other reason often. Thunderbird owner also obliged the same. He also added some more information like tyre tube for thunderbird and clutch will run out of stock sometime and we will have wait for more than a week. He iterated one instance happened for him. He said he always carry a tube and clutch wire in his bag wherver he goes in his TBTS. His TBTS is 1 year old and looked dusty (threats me will she go old in 1 year!). He also told me thump is missing in all the variants. Classic 350 have the chance wherein the chasis getting damaged bcoz of poor ground clearance. This all lead to confused state and i started thinking of dropping the idea to own bullet. But still my heart longs for bullet for that royal treat. What the most i expect from the bullet is 1. Comfort for both , 2. Old look, 3. mileage not less than 45.
Please suggest which variant should i opt. Or should i opt for some other commuter segments like RTR 180 now coming with ABS for nearly same amount of money i would pay for bullet. Please help...
