Its too difficult to deside which bike u want to buy I mean among enfields either standard or electra .Strandard is a bike with good engine and ofcource its a classic but it has got not tht much better looks .If u see electra cool looks but not that good engine specs a nd poor pick up but full credits go for its looks stillu have two more options bullet 500 and thunderbird ah and one more the citybike 535 but bullet 500 is not that economical and thunderbird is not a good engine and lightning is also expensive and uneconimical .SO there is one bike left the MACHISMO it has got good looks with that shining nickel and kool tank design but guys I am talking about the machismo 2001 or older model not about the new machismo. the old machismo has got a good engine I must say a superb engine with great acceleration a top speed of 120 km/hr it is like a rocket on indian roads and the looks of a vintage it is a sports bke and a cruiser and a vintage also that means a perfect bike but the only thing is that of low average and it requires a good care u have take care of its tappits (is it called tappits or tabbits).but stil u can modify ur bike and put the mud gaurds of electra and u can use alloy rims a and if u are a married person then u can even use the backrest of thunderbird .and I suggest u to change the whole tail light and fit the tail light set of t bird.Bcoz 1 thing is that it is made of nickel and other it looks cool and if u like to tell people that give way A BULLET IS COMING then u can get ur silencer empty for that sweet and loud sound and if u live in a small town then u can also use the five pipe pressure horns.but the engine is the main thing for which u have to take care of so incse u hear an unwantd sound from ur engine then dont waste ur just go straght to a mechanic and get it repaired .on more thing u can use a big rear tyre of duro 110/90 is fine but now I am planning to go for 130/90its a mud tyre of king I love my bike a lot
