Personal Opinion ... Bullet is a different breed and not just 'another bike'. Guess it should match your character and personality. My frank opinion, I moved on to a Bullet last year after using Honda Unicorn for six years. After one year of Bulletering, i feel I was better placed with a Unicorn ! I am missing my Unicorn :( ... Except for the thump I feed this is a rusty and slow bike. Less on performance and more on maintenance. May be a good highway bike but certainly a pain in traffic congested city like Bangalore. Planning to sell my one year old bullet and jump back into the 150 cc league .. may be a Suzuki GS150R this time ! :-)

Nothing wrong with your opinion and no need to be apologetic:) But why post the same three times?

I used to own and bullet , the older model, that had many quality issues, non of the parts were of good quality and most of them were prone to wear and tear faster then the other Japanese bikes. This has created a aversion in me towards Bullet.
Hope the new models is of good quality and does not take us to service shop every fortnight.....Enjoy

Hi Raj,
Bullet still has quality issues, but the new ones are much better than the old models.. They have lot less parts than previous generation because of technological changes. The maintanence part has come down by more than 50% as compared with old Bullets....But it is about the feel when you get on to one that changes........Harley Davidson try that one for one year.....your whole concept of Enfield will change.......HD is a disaster!!
