I am owning a bullet-electra 5s and a standard-350.the bike it all about royality n prestige.for a new rider I tell 1 thing u will forget the average, maintanace cost, bull price when you will go on royal enfield.its mileage is excellent and the best when compare 2 any power bike, i mean 2 say when 150cc bikes are giving 40-50kmpl and 100cc bikes are giving 60-70kmpl.......
Bull 350cc will give 30-40kmpl easily, so accordingly 150cc should give an average of 80kmpl if they boast of a good mileage providing technology...lol....the most important thing the respect u will be getting by the people around n the salutation stare u will be getting is ofcourse priceless n a good return for ur your investment.see I m a big-bull enthusiastic n a bit selfish about it, , , as I dont like much bulls on road...bcoz I have always heard about a single lion is the king of the jungle....
So I feel bit agitated by sharing the crown on roads.......still I cant hold my heart 2 write the good of the machine.its sturdy, reliable, robust , etc, etc .........go for it if u have heart , , , , after riding it u will never like any of the machines in the market, , , , as japanese toys will never bring u da same feel as the king-----its -oldest motorcycle manufacturing company still in the business...so u can understand the technology....
Still many of in india cant touch the technology of 1955........people say its harley of india, , , , but I use 2 say harley is the bullet of other countries. I have met many of riders who are having both...but still feel good 2 ride bull instead of harley, as original feel of harley n performance needs a good highway as in us. ...but to conquer indian roads u need a bull......as there are no roads in india wher ur 350cc will fall short.this is the only reson you will often find foreigners zooooming on the enfield showroom 2 get a pic with it, , or ven purchase it if they have 2 stay for a month...the bike is not for city and moving like a mouse in the traffic -----its a lion , , , , so instead searching for the spec of bullet , , go for the specs of a lion.......n u can compare, , , if u have money 2 give wings to ur dream of biking ---then surely its yours, , , , ,
