      I own a Classic 500 Desert Storm and its a pleasure riding it in ghat roads. Since you are based in Munnar, try getting the Classic 500 DS. You will be loving it for the sheer amount of torque it offers.

      Motorcycling is an art, not to be confused with insanity.

          This question can be answered if you ask for mileage or power??
          If power then hands down DS,
          if mileage then CL350 and TBTS are same on that point.
          SO the question turns to be, where will you ride mostly?? Highway/Tour or City??
          Highway/Tour = TBTS due to immense comfortable ride!!
          If CIty Then CL350 anytime.

          Both are nice bikes from prehistoric age!!...lo...
          But i would say sell it which ever gives you more trouble then the two!! Makes Sense??

          Infact i would say i don't see your happy times in your old bullets so sell both !! if they are good ride rather then you becoming son-in law of the mechanic visiting again and again then keep one else sell it.

            Hey Thanks for the suggestion, but what about Electra Twinspark???
            The fedback which i have got is Electra Twinspark is better then Clasic.
            I have 1969 England model which look more better then today's classic.
            and feel also good then any.

              Your post was very clear that you are well versed with RE models and usages. As you din't mention Electra in your post so i din't compare it with other models.

              Electra is any time better in daily usage with pillion as compare to CL350.
              Electra looks more huge as compare to CL350 and has better pillion seats.
              Average and performance are same with this both model.

              And the major + point is you will get it in 2-3 months as compare to 1yr in mumbai for CL350

                Thanks once again, I think I have made the right choice to go with Electra Twinspark.
                I am will go for small modification with my 1969 (single seat which will look more better than today’s classic. Can you suggest where should I go for bull work? Block piston is gone completely so I have to replace it. And small work. Hummm I think I have to only spent 8000 on it. Find the pic for your refrence only. Royal Enfield - Mumbai - Motorcycles - Scooters.
                To be honest I am the new bull owner. And this is my ever 1st bike. I was only having the expirence how to ride the bike not a bull, but it was my dream to own the BULL. J
