V-Twin Bullet - Double trouble

Just that RE doesnt love itself as much, with so many lovers waiting for upto 8 months for date with one of their examples, its only cashing in now.
The guy who designed the rear end of the TB500 must be james may's cousin who still lives in the 70's, but also likes justin bieber, the earlier TB's round rear lamp was so pierce brosnan, why could they not just fit LED's innit?

When did I called myself a moderator in the first place (when did I ever become one) ?

For the D125ST the company was proactive enough to provide for a test ride. Same was the case with the Hyosung GT250R.. strangely post the test rides I did find both the bikes interesting in their respective categories of course.. which they definitely were.

Coming back to the Tbird 500.. well haven't ridden it so far, therefore will not comment on how it performs. But in terms of aesthetics, I personally can't appreciate the "neither here nor there / not a proper cruiser or a classic bike" styling of the TBird.

No info on web, checked official website and no info. Where did u get this info from ?

This is there in the brand stores, all the Brand Stores have recieved minimum stock of these goodies...priced on the above average types.

I think the above post answers your opinion about company's proactiveness...


so only those bikes will be selected for review which a reviewer finds interesting and not the one which a reader/member is interested in... is it so ??

But it's a much better 'Touring' bike than Discover 125 Sports Tourer. BTW, does adding extra slanting lines to give it more aggresive look make a bike Sportsbike !? But still we call it a Sports Tourer and find it interesting. WHy ? Just b'coz it's a Bajaj bike ?


These all are just my queries sire. No hard feelings please...


are they displayed at authorised dealers too ???

chill man, you need to understand certain things, which are never mentioned ... kind of reading between the lines....

This has come only to Brand stores i believe, not sure about dealers

Coming to the comparison and all .... i never did believe on the reviews that were always done by xBHP. When a person compares a normal CBR250 with a modded Ninja 250, then any one can understand what that means


Man super . Nice comparison

Yah bro you are correct. People use these kinds of forums to promote that.
But matter of fact i dont blame the site owners. At last they have to earn money also, right. So if someone is paying the price, then why not .

But what I expect from the moderators is that to stop inclining on a particular type of bikes.
Before I used to buy the xBHP magazines for the stuff they used to provide in that. But now its all kind of so arrogant stuff in that.
Who cares if some one is going for a Road trip to Japan or sauidi arabia or any where. And 70% of the magazine will be having that stuff. And not others.

I have seen a lot of travelogues here in xBHP, i dont remember the names now, but they were so good. They should have been promoted.
Now in facebook page, i always see the photos of japan and all the road trips. And no travelogue of another guy is promoted there.
These kinds of things are really sick.

Its a long way to go for xBHP i think. They need to become matured. They have become very ignorant now.
If you compare team-bhp and bcmtouring, then you will understand.

xBHP may get calls only from Bajaj(so Duke&Ninja also)and Ducati for a test ride..who knows.... RE might be planning to ship the TB500 to Italy or somewhere for a special test drive for xBHP by knowing that then only xbhp will give a full coverage about the bike in the Magazine....

my dear friend payeng ... this is for you .. this is something about bullet and its family ....

It was there before Mercedes was still Benz
It was there before Ford Broke records with Model T
It was saving Soldiers In the World Wars
It was flying high even before Harley thought of being born
It has been loved by the army ever since you know of it
It saw Victorian art followed by the birth of the methodists
It saw icons like Marilyn and Brando rise and fade
it was there to witness the accomplishments, victories, mysteries, setbacks, wars, defeats, assassinations, politics, strategies, and every thing that even history may lack the record of.
And,
surprisingly enough,
it is not yet thinking of dying away. Instead, it has just been reborn.

The Legend Rides On.

Just Awesome

So it saw Marilyn and Brando rise to fame,and it saw Ford breaking records with the model T, however as the world now co exists between Brando, Marilyn and the gangnam style, Mercedes to it's name has so many modern day automotive innovations, the roads since then have changed to expressways and autobahns, the modest wright brothers innovation has evolutionised to the dreamliner and the double decker airbus. so what has enfiled learnt or revolutionised even after making motorbikes since the jurassic park ages, where is the passion amongst them to provide their customers with world class motorcycles, after all these years of existence they still could not make rear view mirrors which do not fold once they see 90kph, they still cannot manufacture a clutch cable that does not snap every month, they still cannot make a fuel tank lid that is rain proof, and moreover, they could've made bikes with amazing design flow, but they decide to make the TB500, so you know and i know it is this unexplainable feeling that makes us buy enfields, but RE is only milking that feeling and like in real life, once you look beyond love and put your head in it, you know what happens.
And since it has seen all the victories, the defeats, the placids and the crocodiles, how is it any different than a politician who exists amongst us today, eight months to lay your hands on a motorbike which has substandard build.

Hats off to you.

Thanks Bibhu, i bet the hat would be the only thing intact astride an enfield post 80kph.
