Hi Guys,
This is Rahul from Pune. I am a habitual reader of this site. The reason I used habitual here is, whenever I login to my system in office, the first thing I do is open and read xBHP logs that I have left incomplete last day (instead of opening my Outlook Inbox and check for any FIRE mail..
). This is my first log here.
The reason I am writing today is, I really can't hold on now to jump into this BIG ocean of bikers. And I know you guys will definitely help me for all the (stupid) queries I am going to ask about bikes and bike rides. I want to know more and more about REs and hence the subject line..
So I think the introduction part is going toooo long. Getting to the point. I am going to book a Royal Enfield Thunderbird TwinSpark. Would love to here from gurus and owners about the bird.
I am 26 and look wise I am a little less than average body type and 5.9" height. I have not shared my decision with many of my friends. I want to surprise them by showing it once I get the delivery of bird. But people with whom I shared this said that it won't suit me
. But who cares, what others feel. What matters is what I feel while riding. And I am damn sure that I'm gonna feel like the most powerful person when I am on my bull. 
So the questions are:
1. Most people say that TBTS is not a bull. As far as engine, power, torque is concerned it is the same as any other REs in 350 segment. What differentiates it from others is looks. Then why they say it when it has no relation with the performance of bike? Would like to know performance wise difference in TBTS and other REs in 350 segment.
2. As others do, I am also planning to change the stock silencer of bird. I have read so many threads but still confused if I should change it on day one or should wait for some time.
3. Will it anyhow affect the performance or fuel efficiency of engine when silencer changed?
@ mods,
I know, these questions are asked several times in forum. But would like to get all answers in one thread rather than searching, as it will help me to put up my thoughts depending on the answers. Please approve the thread.
Thanks in advance!!
