And yes, the ZMR will not make you visit the SC as frequently as the Bull. But you know what, despite the shortcomings, when a Bullet runs through a street with that unmatched sound, you somehow get the feeling that here goes the 'King of the road'!
      Decision is yours based on your priority.

      Hi krishna ,
      Thanks for the advice ,

      I bought ZMR 3 weeks back , and is totally satisfied with the it. last saturday i took it for a trip along with my friend who owns a RE Electra. Both bike are good and meant for long ride, u cannot explore the true beauty of these two bike within the city range , u need to take them on highway to better understand there capability.Both ZMR and RE Electra has pros and cons.

      ZMR :
      Ride quality is Good, Although u have to lean forward a little bit, but rider get use to it within few weeks and after that you hardly feel any pain. At 1lakh20thousand the bike is a complete package fitter with the best instrument console and latest market technical upgrades. The engine is refine, although u get slight vibrations while riding below 45kmph, the vibration decreases once you go above 55kmph and engine feels much smoother afterwards riding around 70-80kmph speed range since u get its maximum torue at high range. The high speed stability of the bike is good, but doesnt match the RE Electra high speed stability which is nearly 27 Kgs heavier than ZMR. ZMR is quiet easy to maintain in comparison to RE Electra. The engine Oil change for ZMR will cost you 240Rs, while for RE it will cost around 900Rs.

      RE Electra:
      Ride quality needs to be improved, although RE is comfortable to ride. The engine noise is quiet annoying, as rider can easily hear the noise continously coming from the engine along with the RE Thump. The high Speed stability of the bike is quiet good as bike is always seems to be planted on road, which gives you confidence while high speed riding. The instrument cluster needs to be improved. A fuel meter is absolutely necessary. The engine feels noisy till 3rd gear, but once you get into 4 gear and reach above 55kmph the engine noise reduces....

      Overall both bikes are good to ride and both have their pros and cons, so its mainly depend on personal choice of buying either of them ....
