Well to start with...seems like people are very fascinated with this machiine as everyone from bihar to kashmir knows this bike and will say oHHH u have bullet ... it feels something great .... but guys lets face the reality...its main usage could be either to sell milk in villages or drive long distnace. Its a piece of Iron that doesnt have anything called as engineering.... since years its the same....bike doesnt go above 120 in any case...i drove it for hours with that max speed...... engine will sieze if u drive that fast for 20 minutes or so ......things keep on giving problem...you will have to go everytime for tuning etc. u cant drive it very long with the comopany handle...u will get a back ache if u drive 400 + kms per day....but there is no other machine perhaps which is available in india..... I got a chance to drive BMW bikes ...bullet is like a bicycle in the outer market and nothing more that...we see Harley on tv and drive Bullet , thinking Harley....Escorts should improve this machiine...its extremely simple old technology machine which doesnt contain anything called as engineering
My personal feeling is that some people drive bikes for passion and perhaps they can pay more money if they get machinies worth that money....bullet in this case stands no where comparable to bikes in the rest of the world...
my comments would be only meaningful for the people who think a bit above the Desi style ..where everyone gives you a smile seeing you on bullet ...
Cons
not a sports vehicle
not high speed machine
not very comfortable
not good engineered
old designed
thump is nearly lost
Pros
just a satisfaction to urself that you ride bullet
perhaps one of the only available machines in the segement
people ask you about it ..like security guard of my company said that I must be earning good as I ride a bullet :)
good for dhudiyas or village people, who are heavy :)
I will strongly advise people who have fascination for engineering and comfort not to buy this machine, otherwise you will end up getting frustrated.
good for guys who would like to ride on a constant slow thump.
