Just been to the Royal Enfield showroom at Bandra. Didn't get a test-ride :(. Still 10 days to go. But here's the good news.
This Bullet has the same old thump coming out of a better functioning and better looking machine… Purists can frown; I liked it and perhaps many guys shying away from the Bullets might like it too. Might buy it too. Go for it. This is the right machine; free of the numerous niggles Bullet has been known for.
Apart from that, the sitting position is just right. Even with a modern, more refined engine, feels every bit a thumper, every bit a classic!
The Classic doesn't look that great without the curved silencer. Neither does it look that great with the pillion seat attached; at least I didn't find it great. But then if you have a girl to ride with, there's no option :). Besides, when you ride a Bullet, you often forget the looks… :)
