Truly it is the best wheel running on Indian roads. Its always a thrill to sit on my Electra 5s and ride off. There is nothing to complain about. Although I have observed that there is some amount of vibration when you reach 100kph. This limits the cruising speed below 100. Anyway the sweet thump of the engine is more than enough compensating for the former. The engine thump is not same as the older cast iron engines. RE has provided additional exhausts to bring in the same thump. The bike looks elegant with big leg guards. I feel the Electra appeals more as an RE than a Thunderbird although the engines are same and all.
