REVIEW : Mr, Hradyesh Namdeo, You seem to be a kind of person
who has no job other than complaining about anything and everything. i
will not be surprised if you have problems with kids, with elderly
people, traffic etc etc....and about everything else on the
world.......add to that your english....its pathetic, there are errors
in every line of your written statement.........Out of the 12 people who
have written in this page you are the only one who is complaining. I own
a 1984 Bullet 350 myself and i am very happy with it. Yes when i used it
for the first time i did have difficulties. It was too heavy, too big,
and since i used to ride a Hero honda Splendor earlier i definitely was
uncomfortable riding the bullet. Riding a bullet is an art. You should
not just look to drive at 60kmph the moment it starts. It needs care,
its like your child. Learn to use it, and you will know that its one of
the greatest bikes every made on earth.
When I used the bullet for the first month, and remember it was a
second hand bike, i started the understand way it should be ridden. As
far as your mechanical problems, take the bike to a bullet mechanic, who
repairs only bullets and no other bike. I hope this will solve your
problems.

REVIEW : I wonder why somebody wants to use a bullet to drive to
office and home like shashi miriyala. He just wants attention,
suppose!!! So all you guys who ride bullets..is it the attention seeking
tactic or just the feel of it...? I know i know the answer will be the
later one...mostly!? Now this bullet of shashi miriyala has a
saree-guard and is full of soft dust and is guarding our new home...it
sure is a antique! (he brings all used things to our new home...the
micro his mother used, iron box and even the TV...and replaces them with
all new things...my only consolation is this bullet though. i sure love
it!

REVIEW : Hi, I have a great passion for Bullet 350. I was
waiting for long to possess one and finally I have it with me now. I am
proud to be the owner. It can attract everyone on the road, whether busy
driving/chating with friends/halting at signal....What a feeling you get
when many people look at your majestic vehicle and you sitting on it
like a king. Simply good..

REVIEW : Like other Bullet lovers even I used to do admire it
whenever I got an opportunity. It could be a parking lot or a traffic
signal junction, I just used to love watching it and listening to the
royal exhaust beat. Though I had initially set my eyes on the RE Electra
5S, after a lot of research on these mean machines,test rides of current
models and the feedback I received from the fellow Bulleteers I finally
decided to purchase a Thunderbird.
The major factors which influenced my decision to buy a Thunderbird was
the latest technology like the Aluminium engine, CV carburettor,TCI
ignition system and the great looks ofcourse. The Thunderbird is a great
bike and gives a great feeling when you ride it. You can feel the raw
power of the bike at the slight turn of the accelerator and also the
majestic roar. Though it is priced on the higher side (a li'l over a
Lakh of rupees) it certainly is a grand automobile to own. Coming to the
experience of owning this machine I can only say after a few months down
the line as I just bought it two days ago...

REVIEW : Feel the pleasure to ride the legend and you will feel
you are riding the way to glory. When you ride this bike you have a
history which is with you. You tend to develop an understanding with it
and you feel that it is communicating with you. Develop the language
with it. It will be at your service for life.

REVIEW : Mine is a 1970 classic. Its is a wonderful machine.
Where ever it goes it sure would attract a thousand stares. I knew that
i would have to see some problems while handling it and to my surprise
the troubles were really less. I"ve been using it since almost 8
months and i've got it serviced just once(8 months back).
And every bullet even if serviced well would give trouble at some point
of time.getting to know the vehicle is a must so that you can fix these
small repairs all by yourself.
i"ve never been to a showroom to get my bullet serviced as there
are good bullet mechanics in hyderabad who are far better than their
official/authorised counterparts.
If you are a person who is looking for a bike as just a transport
vehicle from your office to home, then this one is strictly not for you.
About the service: Everyone knows that its a old company and the
service isnt good compared to other manufacturers,so be prepared before
you buy one. Whatever be the small drawbacks and troubles, when finally
running the sound and beat of the engine is terrific.

REVIEW : Best bike I have ever ridden in my life. There are
problems initially as I tended to treat it like a normal 100cc bike. The
throttle, braking, etc. take a little getting used to. However, the
ride, the comfort is truly unbelievable. My only regret is that I didn"t
buy it any sooner. I bought the bike second hand and gave it to a top
notch mechanic. It cost me around 2000 rupees to get it into top
condition. Like I said, I only regret that I took so long to buy such a
beautiful machine.

average mileage, smooth riding & also good value for money. I have
already done 60000kms on my caliber. The performance is still good with
58-65kms/lt. No major problems have come across in this period except
for changing of chain set at 58000kms.

REVIEW : "Remember Whenever you see a BULLET passing by
admire the owner for his patience, you might not know through which
phase of torture he may be going through after he made a mistake of
purchasing a bullet"
The old company Royal Enfield Motors, which was supposed to be a old
company with sound experienced but in actual it is not so.
The Indian saying, "Naam bade aur dharshan chote" fits very
well here.
I am fond of bikes, power, strength etc. Bikes are my passion. I heard
from my childhood that the Enfield Bullet is the king of the Indian
roads & it is termed as "A Bike which separates a man from a
child."
Taking the picture of a good old, experienced company into my mind I
decided to purchase a bullet & went into the showroom but I was
surprised by the poor finishing quality of the bikes
gazing at the customer. From here the phases of troubles starts, first
choose a bike from the available 2-3 bikes which have a less number of
faults in the finishing of the bike as compared to the others. Seems we
are in a vegetable shop searching for the good one's among the others,
Cool isn't it?
After giving hard-earned money amounting nearly about 60000/- bugs you
think you are purchasing a bike not really you are purchasing troubles
along with a free gift hamper of tortures. Lovely deal for bike lovers!
While coming home from the showroom I found that the bike is completely
instrumental the shockup's are making terrible noise, the fuel tank
starts singing when I parked it in my home there was a lot more to
discover. I went through the user-manual it have complete details about
the bike but the good thing was it was just a bit out dated .Hey old
company means old details too! The other phase starts from the day you
drive the bike you must be having a daily routine, the thing you have to
do is just add in it a daily visit to the workshop except the day when
you don't drive the bike.
Other thing is you should be a nature lover because the bike will made
you stop frequently after few kilometers & mind you be prepared for
any thing it may stop any where whether it is a middle of a busy road or
a lonely road in the jungle. Amazing!
Like in my 9 days of driving it made me stop 31 times in the middle of
the road. From the very first week I was complaining to the company
about there product quality, but there was no-response from the company.
After my 9 days of riding tortures I decided to switch over to my real
buddy, good old bike which never let me on road once. This is what I
call reliability which a trust bonding relationship between the rider &
the bike isn't it? The bike was locked in my garage & one-day an
officer from Indore branch called me & offered a complete check by
the co-service engineer but I told him the exact situation &
requested him to take the bike back. Finally he asked for a last chance
for the company failing to which the bike will be taken back.
The much awaited co-service engineer Mr. B. Ramachandran was a
multi-personality guy he gave me his card mentioning him as marketing
representative, introduced himself as a service-engineer, & finally
termed himself as the head of the Indore branch. Impressing!
I gave him complete logbook of the 9 days with the bike & its
faults & behavior. He gave me conclusion like:
"The Person purchase a bullet never looks for perfection & you
are the first one asking for it"
"The bike does not have any problem, you are facing it because you
have purchased a bullet first time" The service engineer supposed
to know each & every veins of their product but the guy was unable
to even start the bike even when he was challenged to do so!
When he done his acting for checking the bike I asked him to certify
that the Bike is now completely faultless & if any fault noticed
then the bike will be taken back as discussed.
But he refused to do so, instead I was made sit for three hours in the
showroom where the people including the company guy with dealer &
other person shared my troubles as if somebody
shares a joke. I had also decided not to take the bike unless a written
certificate is not issued so I left the bike there & returned back.
Customer care ?
After somedays I received a letter from the same guy asking me to take
the bike with in 7 days.
The head of the company Mr. P.K Purang (MD REM) Is also know of the
complete fact but he has only two answers for the same
I will talk to the concerned officers & come back to you.
I am out of office & contact you when I am back.
The other senior officer Mr. G Shankar(GM Marketing) does not want to
touch this issue so he simply doesn't respond.
The senior manager of the company Mr. Harikumar doesn't understand the
problem even if he has the complete details with him.
The other officer the manager service Mr. G.S mahindru is a little bit
confused but he is a genius also. He gave a final conclusion stating
that the owner is responsible for every thing without knowing the
problems.
When I asked him about what he knows about my problems he said I not
know much about it.
From March till today the company is unable to solve a customer
problem, it is unable to satisfy a customer, it is unable to give a
quality product to the customer and the senior officers of the company
doesn't have any answers for my questions.
It is going to be near about 6 months in which 98% of time the bike was
in my garage and after knowing the complete facts the company pretends
to be unknown. The things are not with me alone there are lot of persons
who have one or the other problem from the company which includes from
an illiterate farmer & a executive too.
Don't believe me just look a classified automobile section of 2-3 weeks
you will find number of brand new "ROYAL ENFILEDS" bike for
sale or visit a automobile portal on the net you will find a lot of them
there for sale. What does it proves?
I believe that no body will like to sell a good machine which is new
too, Do you? The thing required today is to fight for the value of money
& customer satisfaction, which is a right of each & every
customer who pays for it to the company.
Lot of people leave the company as granted but is this a right thing? I
feel that to donate money to the needy is a better choice instead of
giving it to a company for problems & tortures & to felt like
cheated.
Come out and ask for the complete satisfaction you deserve against the
money you have paid for.
