The Bullet 500 Classic - pics

First views of the Royal Enfield Classic 500

Since i got my bike on the 12th of november,

Lets go about what i love.

#1 love the Fuel Injection, i can move to 2nd gear and leave the accelerator alone and the bike goes chugging on its own. Some thing like my cars.

#2 The shock handling s awesome. After riding the bike for a few days i feel the thunderbird i used to own feels like a horse.

#3 Removed the rear seat, cant transport any one, but can ride slow (see #1) love that! I get people walking to me, love the new bike.

#4 Self starter - awesome

#5 head lights like some car - awesome

#6 Maybe its my clutch - shifting to 1st gear is  sounds like a thud.

#7 took a friend for a 60 km spin and she feels this is too comfy - does not feel like a ride :(

Lets go over what i don't like:

#1, kickbacks don't happen any more due to sensors. The ignition cuts off. Atleast i don't feel it. Using the kicker is a pain, miss that 1 kick start of my thunderbird.

#2 when you pull accelerator slow , the throttle response has some kind of  block at the lower accelerator level. The bike jerks. Happens all the time.

#3 Rear seat looks yuck. But what are mods for ?

#4 The screw on the tiger eye (head lamp) is showing signs of rust.

#5 the tires are funny , if i brake, it skids. If i turn at an elevated wet surface.

AWESOME BIKE IN ALL ! MUST HAVE. This sunday i will be riding to some place close to krishnagiri.
