I purchased this bike because this bike is my dream bike. I have used classic bullet 350 since 2 months it runs 2000kms.from my experience overall performance of the bullet is good. It give a mileage of 45-50kmpl pickup handling is perfect no vibration till 80kmph can pull through in 5th gear at 45 kmph. It start with 1st and 2nd kick easily and I havent felt any problem without this self start. Of you require thump. Should change the exhaust silence. Stock silencer doesnt give much thump. I personally suggest up swept or short bottle silencer that to original reexhaut may lead to drop in mileage. Also maintenance is less. Good bike forever.
