Overall i would like to end my review by saying that bullet is for those who enjoy the journey rather than those who are in a hurry to reach destination. No bike offers such comfortable upright position. The ride is very comfortable both on highways and offroads. Or to be specific “enjoying the journey “. When i go touring my max speed is between 75-80. My daily commute is max 25 km and hence never in a hurry. And yes it is.ĭon’t buy a bullet if you are always in a hurry. Bullet is popularly known as “raja gadi” The kings ride. I learned that bullet is not designed for that purpose. I tried it with bullet but it cost me oil leak from the engine. In the beginning i missed the quickness of unicorn. I owned a unicorn before but the bullet is totally different from these refined and quick 150-250 cc bikes. Next important thing is your riding style.
So my advice to those who are hating RE or their bike is to find a very good bullet specialist. So i took advice from few elders who own a old bullet and i got a very good doctor for my bull. So obviously the quality of service goes down. Its also because they have loads and loads of customers. Its not that i had bad experience but i got gut feeling that these guys are simply not competent to repair a bullet. I did my first servicing at authorised service centre and then i never visited them. And if u ask them, they will also teach you basic troubleshooting and repair for your bull. These guys are literally doctors of bullet. The best solution is to look out for bullet specialists (yes these guys exist) in your neighbourhood. Like all other brands they are just into money making and i also doubt about the knowledge and skills of their mechanics. It has got reliability issues but it’s because of poor service of RE.
The engine was not broken in, so speed runs were limited, but Irving judged acceleration from 20-50 mph to take about 12 seconds, with top speed probably 72 mph.I am riding bullet electra since 2014. Irving didn't complain about the motorcycle's looks, although the massive front fender shown in the accompanying photo spoils the appearance for me.
