I simpply love the thumping noise and the feel you get out of riding that thumper. I feel so majestic. I just have one feedback regarding the bike handle bar and the spring seat. iam a huge and heavy man so its kinda paining a little bit on the back because of the seating posture. most of my average weighed friends feel the same . I have now ordered for a customised seat but it would be great if royal enfield address this issue. apart from this love the bike to the core .Its a long story behind buying this bull, from childhood itself I used to listen that police use bullet to catch thieves(lol just a story), its been also said that this is powerful machine with different sound "dhud dhud: ready to roar", it is so heavy! when I was kid I used to think that "yaar how people used to drive this heavy piece" its need strength and mind to hold this machine. I have drove so many sports bike pulsar, cbr etc but in simple and short I m just happier when I ride. After many research from different reviews from Quorans, motorbke blogs, frnds etc and also retro look it suits me as I am 6ft with muscular body so I booked and bought, Though I know there will be pros and cons coz no bike will provide you perfection(conditions apply), in my opinion just ride this machine with proper maintenance it will be up to your expectations, yes for a moment certain things make you bother but its ok depends on individual. I panic while judging the fuel economy and puncture both sucks sometimes, but there is way to be concern about. FYI I owe Classic Black Beast.
