Re: Choosing a Royal Enfield? Ask here...
Hi guys,
Good day to you all. After trundling around in 100cc mileage bikes, I have decided to take the plunge and buy an RE. Need some help in choosing the right one for me
I would be using the RE mainly for daily commuting (~60 kms a day) and very very rarely on long trips.
30% of the commute is on average roads filled with bumps and another 30% in heavy traffic.
The primary requirement is comfort (no backaches specifically) in the daily commute.
There are no budget constraints and not really worried about mileage either.
I am well built - 85 kgs and 6 foot tall.
Based on some googling, I have eliminated Thunderbird and 500cc versions since the reviews suggest they are not very suitable for daily commuting. I am confused between the 350 cc versions of Bullet/Electra/Classic.
Which one would suit my requirements? Based on my requirements, is there anything specific I need to look for while going on test ride? Please share your suggestions.
Thanks in advance.Leave a comment:

I have seen many members comment on the reliability of the bull so is it worth for a daily commute?
Reliability is always a hard nut for RE to crack none of there vehicle comes with so called bullet proof reliability, so you have to be ready on this matter, as you will be using this vehicle for your daily routine you will see problems arising the only thing is how fast SC can rectify it,keep your fingers crossed and hope you don't get stranded in the middle of your route, just make a visual check everymorning before you leave for your work and bring any problem to companies notice as fast as you can, but don't worry too much about the problems or you will loose pleasure of riding TB.Leave a comment:

Re: Choosing a Royal Enfield? Ask here...
Hi friends I need your help regarding my new bike purchase. I am interested in GT and Bullet 500, but the price difference is around Rs.60000. Actually I can wait until GT with ABS arrives. Then the price difference would be around 1 lakh. I took the test ride of Bullet 500 and very much liked the comfort and torque, and will take test ride of GT in few days. Whenever I call Vijayawada showroom guys for test ride, they are telling, sir bike has problem with ignition. Is GT reliable with fuel injection when compare to carbutetted Bullet 500. I need your sincere help friends.
Thank you.Leave a comment:

I don't get backache even after riding 1,000+km in 24 hours on my Thunderbird 500 during/after long one-day trips like Chennai>Kanniyakumari>Chennai, Chennai>Athirapilly Falls>Chennai, Chennai>Kodaikanal>Chennai and Chennai>Ooty>Chennai.

Re: Choosing a Royal Enfield? Ask here...
Hi. with all the discussions going on here, I would like to know one thing. I have been "sighting" the thunderbird 350 for around 2 yrs now. Now my new job makes me travel around 45km one way daily. Is the T350 a good value for money? I was looking for a bike which offers a good riding position and no backache...Leave a comment:
