I have had a bullet electra since its launch in 2001. I purchased a bullet standard 500 last year. Bullets are not for racing. They are for a comfortably paced ride. These machines have good torque and tall gears. You can very comfortably cruise ibn these bikes at about 80-90km per hour. I have visited the treacherous lahaul-spiti valleys on bullet Electra, and have observed these bikes can easily take the extreme abuse those regions offer. Now again, our group is going am a leh-laddakh ride, and we are not allowing a friend with Harley Davidson to accompany us since we are not sure it will take the server beatings of the off roading we are planning to do in the trip! But if you do Chandigarh Delhi ride, Harley will reach Chandigarh a day before bullet does! It's that fast and stable on uniform road. I differ on the premise that bullets are nothing but iron junks! I am riding a bullet for almost fifteen years now, and I have derived lots if riding pleasure from it. There have been times when I have come home after a long day at work, and have taken bullet for a serene thumping ride to rejuvenate myself.
With age, I have understood that all vehicles are good. It's the way you handle them and they serve you. The vehicle you own is the best vehicle. Period.
