I thought of rewriting my review on Bullet Electra 4S after almost 9 years of owning it and riding it on and off as I was outside country for some time. During this period I got kid, grey hair, old, four-wheeler, some property, etc. etc. But one thing remains the same, this Iron Junk!
Alright. Let’s come to our business. This review may not be useful now, as new Bulls have many changes like engine, gear position/shift, breaks, ignition etc. However still want to write it to share my experience! You may find my earlier review in Oct-2007 from below link.

Till recently, I was thinking Bullet should not be compared and reviewed with Indian mindset. Why should we not do it, when it is built in India, used in India by an Indian.
Mileage: Fill it and forget it(I mean forget gas/petrol):)
Performance / Speed: Be prepared to get kicked by 80 CC puppies
Reliability: Bullets are like wives… never know how they behave
Build Quality: Occasional shines between rusts
Looks: Can be deceiving. Don’t fall for them
Comfort: You need to be comfortable to feel the comfort.
Overall: Expensive, time consuming, often frustrating….
But in between those frustrations…. moments of bliss… straight vertebra… wide open arms… breeze over cheeks, rattle through bones… musical thump to ears… smile on the face…:)
This junk taught me patience, helped me mature, showed me superior taste, take things steadily and enjoy the very moment of life. Ultimately it showed me what life is about!
If you really want a TRUE Bike, there are dozen dozens available in the market.
Happy Thumping!
