Re: Choosing a Royal Enfield? Ask here...
Ok I must have searched for a specific thread before I created one on my own.
Please help me with this.
There's a 2007 thunderbird 350, done 40k kms, single owner, rust free and looks pretty good.
The guy is quoting me 50k for it. Is it worth it? Are the lean burn avl engines good? Looking forward to expert insight

Which bike to choose between CLASSIC 500 VS BULLET 500??
Both the bikes are tempting one! Look wise similar to each other... But somewhat in mind I am getting a echo that CLASSIC is not a real BULLET!
So what are the pros and cons of both these bikes? Any expert advice!
My childhood dream was to ride a bullet one fine day, so somewhere tug of war is happening in mind between Technology (FI in CLASSIC) VS Real Vintage HeritageComment

Re: Choosing a Royal Enfield? Ask here...
Both are same technically except the fi.which makes a minute difference in power and torque.seat height is a bit lower in classic 500.for me every Enfield is a real bullet.price difference is around 10000.go with what your heart saysOriginally posted by Avinash_A View Post

Re: Choosing a Royal Enfield? Ask here...
Go with classic 500. It will not disappoint you in giving you a classic look as well as give a good look for city commuting as well. Engine and ride quality wise rest remain the sameOriginally posted by Avinash_A View PostComment

Re: Choosing a Royal Enfield? Ask here...
Thank you @jbm_guy, @ SIDDHARTH SINGH,
I test ride both the bikes, I found BULLET 500 more comfortable than CLASSIC... may be due to single seat and height difference. but anyway it was just a small test ride..1/2 km or soComment

hi brother,
Go for BULLET 500 then. When it comes to buying bikes, the most important thing is your gut feeling and comfort levels. If you feel happy and more comfortable on the BULLET 500, then, go for her. However, CLASSIC 500 looks stunning in all the colours, especially with the single seat, and she will be slightly quicker in accleration, because of fuel-injection. I test rode the desert storm one month back, and the memories are still fresh in my mind even today. The torque was just amazing and she pulled me like a freaking train. And as contrary to what some people say, even for a test ride vehicle, I found the brakes quite good. So, the new bike will be much better. I wanted to steal the bike right there and then.
In my opinion, both are equally good. Just follow your heart. Don't forget to post lots of pics of your new bike.
So, when can we have the pics ?
Cheers.....

The Standard 500 has a lighter crank and has a much better pickup compared to the Classic 500. Also the engine runs more freely.
Classic 500 has FI, old style seats.

Guys I need you suggestions and recommendations on this: I am getting a 2012 Preloved Classic 500 with 12k on the odo for around 90k. The owner is moving abroad. Since this would be my 1st RE, please suggest the things which I need to check before closing the deal.
Few friends recommended me to check the following:
1. Oil leakage in casing and forks
2. Tyres
3. Starting and moving the bike in 3rd gear.
Is there anything else which I should check?Last edited by Ashishsonileo; 10-14-2015, 02:37 PM.Comment

TB or Electra
I'm about 6ft tall and weigh abt 83kg.
Planning on Eletra or Thunderbird but I just cannot decide on what I shoud go for.
Thunderbird- Looks
- Its Equiped
- Ride comfort
- Tank Size
- Disc
Electra- Looks again (Kinda liked the retro look)
- ride comfort
- Real Bullet feel (Pretty much)
And want to know which one is gonna be easy in traffic (city like Banaglore). Daily commute probably around 80KM and yeah weekend rides too. I have friends who own RE and they scare me about the oil leak and stuff. Should it bother?Comment

Re: Choosing a Royal Enfield? Ask here...
Hey fellas,
I am Vishal, a 22 yr old single guy with my family dwellings to work on from dawn to dusk. I recently moved back here , so have little to no touch with my school friends or so nor do I know many folks that ride two wheels. I perhaps am looking for something of a weekend experience. maybe a short half day trip on a sunday morning or a late night cruise on a saturday evening, Not more as of now. . .Have had some riding experience but I haven't ridden in over two years but now I WANT a RE Continental GT. I havent yet taken a test ride, but the Looks, the characteristics and the Religion that is being a RE owner has tempted my twig. I have simply sat on the continental GT and it felt like home and this weekend I plan a test ride.
My question is, am I buying into something that's all glory but no gold? what are takes of long time ContiGT owners? Please share !till then im waiting for the test ride!Last edited by UnsettledNose73; 02-10-2016, 12:20 AM.Being on two wheels is being liberated. The vastness one feels being under the open sky. The whole feeling. . . cant be described.
Ride safe, Ride long.Comment
