    1) Powerful
    2) U feel the thump
    3) Steadiness
    * mileage of 25-30kmpl

    TBTS
    1) mileage of 40-45kmpl
    2) less troubles
    3) wont feel the heat on the legs as compared to 500LB
    * Shocks are so soft so If with pillion then the reat shocks should be tightened a bit (ofcourse its trivial)

    But the choice really depends on ur taste.
    are u sure the TBTS gives 40-45 kmpl. its more unlikely.. anyways i also recommend the TBTS. its a better city commuter of the two...

          Wont feel the heat?? my ankles got fused twice today, that too within the first 15 kms.. the [oVER?] heated engine is the only cause of worry for me now

            Sir, read the next part of the statement 'Compared to the 500LB'.

              Hi ananth,

              I would say that a Bullet gets hot, it is one of the hottest running engines. Plus, the TBTS has got a higher compression ratio of about 8.5 (correct me if I am wrong), material more suitable for a leaner & cleaner combustion, so it will be hot. Yes, it has a got better cooling system (oil flow), but then it again has a better compression ratio & a leaner combustion.

              Plus the bike is new, initially it will be a little hotter & with time the heat will reduce a bit. The parts are new & friction is more, so simple physics is at play here.

              Just make sure that the bike is full on engine oil at all times, & get it serviced on the prescribed intervals.

              Take care.

              Happy thumping,
              Prakhar

                Hi prabhu,

                Buddy, I couldn't resist asking you, but could you write up a brief review about the bike here itself. I mean, what you thought about the bike, any cons & pros about it.

                Plus, I also had this particular query, how does the bike fair in terms of vibrations? The one I rode, had plenty even at around 2500 rpm.

                Take care.

                Happy thumping,
                Prakhar

                  WeLCoMe Me PeoPLe......

                  So FiNaLLY Laid MY HaNDS uPoN a BRaND NeW TBTS... DiD SoMe 60 KM's oN THe 1ST DaY. HeRe iS MY SHoRT ReVieW:
                  1. The engine gets very hot within the first 2-3 KM's even.
                  2. The Back starts paining even after a short ride also.
                  3. There is this Strange sound which keeps coming every now N then when i pass through some bumps on the road. I guess its the shockers sound. Well couldn't figure it out perfectly.{Help Needed}
                  4. I cant cruise around at the stipulated 50 kmph speed in the 5th gear. 60 is manageable although..
                  5. I got a Lot of compliments from every one. this Bull is an Awesome Looking Monster with a lot of chrome.
                  6. Once u get going the cruise is so good that it never feels that u r on a Motorcycle.. the seat is so cozy... i can even sleep over it..
                  7. Lets see what the bull has kept in secret for me in the time to come once i m done with the run-in period. Well its pretty hard though.. When u have a Long Smooth tarmac at ur disposal nd can't Rev it. BTW some tips needed to complete the Run-in at a speed of 5o kmph.. Its really tough man..


                  StiLL felt really differently when i Rode this BuLL.. Feels like thrashing any-every one who ever comes near to my BuLL.. Especially The so called 4 wheel Drivers. No Offence Should be taken Buddies..
                  ............................. i aM LeaViNG MY HoMe............................
