Re: Choosing a Royal Enfield? Ask here...

Mods, please move to a more appropriate thread if required.

Guys, yesterday in Youtube I saw this nice review by Twowheelobsession. Search for 2014 C5 Military review. Sorry I don't have access in office or else I would have added the link here. There was nothing technical and the review was in very plain language. It explains very well regarding the feel of riding, against more technical jargon of other reviews.

PDI is a pre-delvery inspection not a test ride, so use your head and check all things that can be checked in inspection.
Brakes/clutch, electricals, horn, lights, indicators, oil level, handle movement/position, seats, exhaust sound, idling, odometer, license plates, documents, etc. literally everything from head to tail.

Re: Choosing a Royal Enfield? Ask here...


Definitely not....

----consecutive posts auto-merged-----


The dealer where I took the vehicle has not allowed me to do a PDI. You will be allowed to just look at the vehicle.
To answer your 2nd question - Definitely not. It think no dealer (including other vehicle manufacturer) will allow you to test ride the stock vehicle without paying the amount. If they did so, then nearly all vehicle will be considered as a Test Drive Vehicle.

You need not to worry. There wont be any problem. Anyway showroom person will do a PDI and even if you find any problem, you have 2 years of warranty.

Re: Choosing a Royal Enfield? Ask here...

Guys....what the showroom guys told me is that I need to pay the full amount..after that....within 1 week...delivery...my question is this...
1.when should I ask for PDI ????ie..after payment ???or before ????
2.during PDI, will they allow me to test ride the bull ????to check for possible noises or alignment issues ????

Re: Choosing a Royal Enfield? Ask here...


Thanks for your input bro
likely to go with thunderbird 350, and will be aware of your mentioned word .
by the way it will not affect the normal commute know ?

Re: Choosing a Royal Enfield? Ask here...


On seeing your height and weight I could say ThunderBird would be best to you.

The vehicle is awesome. I have been driving it for past 1.4 years, no problem at all. But you should expect common problems (actually not a problem) like Brake is not good, Engine Vibration and noise, Engine oil leakage (I have not faced till now) etc.,

For your luck, Royal Enfield has extended their warranty period from 1 year to 2 Years ( or 20 K Kms).

To answer your question

1. Whether Royal Enfield is a right Pick by me ? (if any , please say )
Yes.
2. Will Royal Enfield need to be in Extra Care when comparing with other Bikes ?
Not at all. But you should expect minor problems here and there.
3. Going with Thunderbird 350 is a right choice ? ( classic 350 is my second priority )
All have the same engine but handling is different. If you like going a long ride, Thunderbird would be a good option.
4. And what are the things than I need to look forward on buying the RE TB350 ? (i.e PDI came across this word )
To be frank, If you find anything faulty in a new bike, they will change that under warranty but they wont change the bike which has been assigned to you. But do some common check like scratch, lights and horn etc., And also check whether you will be able to remove the rider and pillion seat easily. I had a problem of fixing and removing rider seat.

Thanks

Re: Choosing a Royal Enfield? Ask here...

Re: Choosing a Royal Enfield? Ask here...

hello all,
This is my first thread , I was totally messed in selecting the suitale Bike for me I am around 6 ft heigh and of 80 kg weight . The Huge debate occured inside me, in selecting the bikes between Honda cbr 150r and the Royal Enfield(Bull) . After so many months of debates , I decided to stick with Royal Enfiled(Thunderbird 350), as i need to concern the Pillion comfort( may be in a year, will get married ). And probably use my bike for commuting purpose(say 10-15 kms daily) , Thats all about the front page of my book .

And here are my questions !!

1. Whether Royal Enfield is a right Pick by me ? (if any , please say )
2. Will Royal Enfield need to be in Extra Care when comparing with other Bikes ?
3. Going with Thunderbird 350 is a right choice ? ( classic 350 is my second priority )
4. And what are the things than I need to look forward on buying the RE TB350 ? (i.e PDI came across this word )

waiting for the replies , Thanks in Advance

Re: Choosing a Royal Enfield? Ask here...

I guess it will be old model .Once of my friend got delivery in 25 days . I checked with the RE showroom guys they told that those are authorised dealers and we are direct company sellers .

authorised dealers don't have latest model and direct company sellers have latest manufactured models .

Re: Choosing a Royal Enfield? Ask here...

Guys...i have enquired about Bullet500 in my place (Marikar motors,Thrissur,Kerala).
They told me they will get me delivered any 500cc bike be it a classic or a bullet within one week..is this normal ??? For the classic 350 that I've already booked I still have to wait 5 more months..is there any way these 500s could be the ones which are used in showroom for testdrive ????or rejected by somebody after PDI ?????
