This is my first review about my sweet electra 5s which I bought in Nov 2009 & she recently completed 5000km. I think now I can write something about it. So first thing is I never had any problem with this bike. Everything is working fine, there were very small adjustment but that is normal to new bikes and when they go through service then minor defects get eliminated.
Frankly speaking it depends on the person who ride the bike. people complain about this bike but I am 100% satisfied with this and I believe if you keep your vehicle clean & tidy and do regular service and drive good(not like stupid guys who doesn’t know anything about riding) then you will have absolutely no problem and you will get best out of your vehicle. And this is applicable to all bikes.
So I will strongly recommend you to buy this one if you are in doubt. You will never regret it I can bet & if you will then it is your driving skill which will be in need for improving. I have read thousands review before buying this and I am always extra carefull when buy anything like this and I hope same thing is happening with you now. So please go and buy and drive and enjoy the driving pleasure.
Everyday people ask me wherever I go with my bike. There are plastic bikes like karizma etc but nobody ask about them and nobody look at them but everybody look at Enfield. What is the use of bike if it is costly and does not look like that. Plastic bikes karizma etc are more costly than enfield and look good when new but after 1 year or 2 you look at them they look like garbage.
