Royal Enfield Bullet 350 Review by Sreekumar


Hi Readers this is Sreekumar, living In Hubli and It’s a childhood dream to own a Bullet sometime in life.

Selection of Model

After reading a lot of reviews and consultation with friends, relatives it was tough to decide that out of whole 350 and 500cc Royal Enfield bike which one is better?
After analyzing, I thought Bullet350 will be the identical one and the logo says it all, you cannot compare with the others and I was comfortable with kick start rather than self start. Finally booked my dream bike Bullet from M/s Salimath Engineers and they told to deliver within 3 months.
Yes after 2 ½ month long wait I got a call from M/s Salimath Engineers that the bike has come and any time I can take delivery, that was indeed a good news, went straight away and confirm the delivery details.

First Impression

We use to say that first impression is the best impression and the moment I had my ride after a small advise from mestri regarding the bike, and that’s it why a Bullet is a Bullet you can’t compare from any other bike and it’s true.

The Ride

Whether you go in speed of 10Kmph or 70Kmph else you go in highway or rough village road it remain stable and won’t let you down, the balance and the control you won’t get in any other bike, when you are on it as if you feel the road use to welcome you in for great and safe ride for a longer period that’s it.
Whenever I use go out in my Bullet, people use to ask yeshtu bithu? (what is the price ?) and immediate next question what is the milage? rather than this two question nothing they wanted to know, but there involves the pleasure, passion which makes you to own a Bullet.

Performance

Its little early to comment but after 750+ km there is no problem with one good kick it starts and nothing else. We have to maintain some tips like close the cock of petrol every time when you stop and it’s simple to follow.

Mileage

Its say that Bullet chlaane walee milage ki chintaa nahie karte but I was amazed, before the first service I got 42+Kmpl that’s excellent.

Drawback

  • In my view the seat has to be little longer at least 4” more then what we have now.
  • The breaking should be made Disk so that the breaking will improve.
So friends those who would like to own a Bullet go and get it. Special thanks to Bike Advice for making readers to get full knowledge of the bike they are going to own, irrespective of make and model it is having everything in it. Thanks to those unknown hands involve in making a Royal Enfield Bullet for last 50years and still counting on.
