First of all the color of Royal Enfield Desert Storm is sexy with matte finish which gives it an army look.It has an impressive Horse power of 27.2 bhp which makes it go from 0 to 100 real quick and easy.I wont be lying if I say that you get ALL the attention when you hit the road with this beast.The pillion seat isnt too comfortable for long journeys, so I recommend taking it off(this way the bike looks sexier).Dont think about the average while going for a Royal Enfield.FYI it gives about 22-25 km/ltr. The main disadvantage of this bike is its high maintenance cost. Service is to be done for every 3000Kms. If there is something wrong with the engine, the repairing will cost you a fortune but trust me the riding pleasure that this bike gives is completely worth it.
