Bullet 500 is king on road, its too heavy but coming to pickup awsome.
This bike is particularly made for long drives. The sound is completely different it blows like a horn tik tik tik. comimg to mileage its horrible only 30-35, in INDIA nearly 60% people have passion on bike beacause travel in less time less cost more mileage. But this royal enfield is great on roads more sucure in accidents. more comfort no backpain while driving but in cities atmosphere some times sound may irritate you. one of my friend recently purchased bullet 500c, almost waiting period is 4-6 months. After getting his bike he was very happy but after few days he is saying some times I cant listen the sound of other vehiles every time I have to see in mirror and in city driving the mileage is very crucial but with these bike the mielage is became pbm but coming to safety and seating is awsome. coming to driving this vechile is a 500 cc with broad seats perfect for long drives or in highways.
According to my opinin they are not suitable for city driving the main problem is sound and mileage. Approach to buy buying a bike with the cost of 1.9 L is horrible to middle class family but it is a role dream for youth. My view is while u spending 1.9 L why dont u purchase a second hand car to a ride with your family. The mielage is very big problem.
