Personally I dont like royal Enfield bikes, too much heavy and engine sound is also very loud. other people do so is their choice. I have taken few rides on this bike as one of my fiends own this bullet 500 model. till u reach the speed of 100 or 110 it runs quite smoothly but after that it starts vibrating too much. even more than any 150 cc bike. which makes it difficult to ride on that speed.
There are many other issues I noticed in that bike. rear breaks are not very effective. engine heats up a lot. making it difficult to ride after 2 to 3 hours. pillion seat is not very comfortable. my back starts aching within few minutes of ride while the front seat is quite wide and very comfortable. fuel consumption is also high many people who own this one use other bikes for day to day use.
