    That's the thing about this bike.
    I grew up hating this bike, because deep down I knew the immensely impractical side of it, the low mileage, excessively heavy weight, and slim rear tire, and also the old technology of the engine, etc....I thought it was complete madness...
    Until I rode one.
    I don't mind that it is not as fuel efficient as a bajaj, i don't care if it not as vibe-free as a honda, and I definitely don't care if it is not as agile or remotely as fast as a KTM.
    None of that matters at all. It's all about the charm.
    Now I get the idea behind this bike, now I see the method behind the madness!!

    Ten years down the line this review has aged like fine wine. I remember watching this ten years back when it came out and i was 25 and had a thunderbird TBTS 350. Tomorrow I'm getting a Bullet 500 carb variant, a dream that has been ten years in the pipeline.

    I grew up with Yamaha rx s and the suzuki shoguns.Then the bullet bug bit me for the the first time 5 yrs ago. On came KTM duke,i snapped right out of the bullet trance and enjoyed the duke which is now parked right next to my Rx 1986.TI thought that was the last of it.But the bug bit me again earlier this year and I cant seem to snap out of it this time.And now, this video from you guys.AAAarrrrrrg I cant sleep at night thinking owning a bullet.Great Vid power drift,,now I need to go get me a bullet,,goosebumps..\m/

    Ive seen bikes that cost more than I could afford even if I spend my life time savings, bikes that try hard to be the most perfect there is. Yet all I saw was that small change in the bike's design that could have made it perfect, just a little bit. Then I rode the bullet and suddenly I don't care anymore. There are so many things about this bike that could be better but something in me keeps asking "You're buying this, aren't you?", and I cant take this bike off my head since. Ive never actually gotten attached to a bike like this, and I honestly don't know why I even like this bike but it has cast a shadow on all my previous "dream bikes". I don't really care anymore, I just want this!

    I was searching for the powerdrift review of KTM RC 390 but then I wanted to search about the bike I have right now,1986 model Royal Enfield which my father used to ride and after seeing this video,I am speechless.I ponder why a man like me whom my girl friends refer as stone hearted felt like crying seeing this video.
    Of course,I may or may not buy the KTM but no matter what,I am not gonna sell my Royal Enfield because as you guys said,it's not a bike.It a part of me or maybe I am a part of it.

      Hi @Kunal and @Bhaskar.. Well this is quiet a decision. Absolutely depends on your need and love. Need for comfort and love for riding and speed. If you are a speed lover then only RC390 is the answer but you have to compromise with the comfort as you have to lean on the bike and the sitting posture will be tiring on long rides. If you want a bike which will serve all other purposes except speed like comfort, Power, Style, Thumpy engine, Attention, Performance, mileage, cruising etc then RE BUllet is the answer.. I recently took a test ride for Himalayan.. Man that bike is something. You must try if you are a Bike lover. Your thinking about RE will change. The best bike for touring in India. Budget + Performance + Comfort and everything. Hope this helps. Good luck!! Ride Safe! :)

      Speed and comfort at the same time... go for 2nd generation duke390 instead of rc390... even if u get slightly more mileage on the 500 it will burn a hole in your purse once every 2500km... the service interval in ktm is 7500km... so better go with KTM

    It is 2023 and it's been 10 years since this video is uploaded, but the video seems like it is out recently. I have seen other motorcycle reviews from 2013 and they seem so old. Hats off to the team PD. You are very much ahead of your competitors from the beginning.

  • @balutvm2008
    @balutvm2008 4 роки тому

    I am watching this video only now and can say, its one of the best reviews. If you watch all those international reviews , they all say the same, can't be judged with modern parameters and whoever ride the bullet 500 first time, they like it, they like the classic style( original classic), they talk about the people responses during the ride and on and on. I may put this video as a reference for few international bike reviewers.

    Loved the way you guys presented this machine. I have a sort of request. If you search for Indian reviews of the classic 350/500 ,you don't find many. It is no doubt the highest selling bike in the RE range. Many people most probably search for it but give up. I literally request/beg you to do a review of the classic 500 the PD way.( I know it's an old bike but fans would love it anyway and it would complete your RE review collection.)

    The 'old bullet' fans wax eloquent with hyperbole like 'Built like a gun' and so on. Now come one, we all know that it broke a oil seal now and then and splashed oil all over your pants. Built like a gun is apt in one way. The suspension. It had the recoil of a gun when the road was pot holed. You could feel your bones rattling. I have not driven the new bullet except the old ones so no comments about the new bullets suspension. When it comes to looks the new bullets are eons ahead way better than the old bullets. The 'old bullets' now look like agricultural machinery. One aspect many bullet fans have misconception about is the sound; the properly tuned 'old bullets' do not thump They just whisper by. You don't hear the thump you just feel it with your body. The new bullets are making a cacophony of mechanical noise an aspect which the company should address. The old bullet had its merits but was outweighed by its pit falls. The new bullets are the way to go. POWERDRIFT great presentation!

    Good morning.
    I have planned buying a RE and from past few days I have watched over 200 videos about Himalayan, classic, TB , standard and I'm totally confused on which one to buy and also about 350 & 500 which one to go.
    Can u please assist me on it.
    I'm about 6 feet tall and slim guy
    Coming to my usage my daily travel is 50kms - 65kms with a hell lot of traffic ( I stay in Hyderabad) and would tour or go long once in 2-3 months about 200kms long.
    I like to have single seat. And I test drived all of the bikes and feel Himalayan is comfortable and has good pickup and less vibrations but hard very hard in traffic and so please can u help me out soon asap.

    These Legends will stay forever, but in my childhood days what bullet meant was a bike that thumped at the loudest......the vintage looks, royal feeling are all present except from the thump...However, kudos to you Powerdrift....for your excellent effort..This particular brand injected the love for bikes that I will continue to possess till my last day!!!

    I love RE and have owned it for a while now. I agree the cult and everything about it however I strongly feel that RE is trying to simply rape us on those terms. I can give many points but I guess it will just fuel up a war here.
    1. Expensive and stupid long waiting period.
    2. Poor quality finish for instance handle showing signs of shine wear off and rust in less than a year. Terrible quality of glass used for head light, horrible stock battery overall the whole bike now feels like a result of cutting corners (because of poor payment to sku makers I guess)
    3. This thing has now become like the remains of East India company leaching on our enthusiasm and draining our hard earned money to queen.
    4. Terrible pricing and fundamental for spares for instance the tail Light shroud is 619 rs will not come with its rubber lining that's another 9 bucks. It's not the 9 bucks that hurt it's more about paying that kind of price and yet being given terrible quality. The so called break shoe kit does not come with springs and other required parts. WTF is it called a KIT for.
    5. Poor treatment at service center and delay in returning vehicle. I have at times waited for almost a week to get a simple servicing done. They charge extra 70 bucks for replacing spark plug (excluding cost of spark plug off course), it seems general servicing does not cover it. I could have done it myself. They just find reasons to bill you.
    If you want to bill people like they have luxury product 1st try and make 1 RE. I seriously miss the 70s quality and this is marking end of an RE fan. Listed my vehicle on olx.

    • @aravind787
      @aravind787 10 років тому +2

      The waiting periods are mostly because of the exporting that the company is doing and just have a look at the prices of Bullet in the UK! its like day light robbery! No wonder they are making people here wait, looking at the costs that people are ready to pay there. I am sure the European crowd doesn't have to wait for this machine, that's if any one is willing to pick it up there.

    This is more like a fan video than an actual review. I wish this model would come with the EFI and alloy wheels. Or, I wish RE would offer the Classic model with these comfortable seats. Other than the comfortable seats (esp pillion), I see no reason to go for this over the Classic 500. Things like "thump" etc are overrated.

    • @nithin092
      @nithin092 9 років тому +4

      if u hav really done the comparison u wud not hav said this.
      The fuel injection Classic 500 has a lot of complaints(which is sold in india).This works in the same old carburettor mechanism(dey say which can be fixed even in the middle of a desert).
      Definitely de classic 500 has the looks but de std 500 is more reliable dude..especially when U go for a trip

    Wow! I own a Bullet 1962 and also a CGT. Can easily relate to what is said. Like you said it in the beginning it is a difficult review. There is nothing much on Bullet based on specs or opinion on individual factors. But overall it is an experience that can only be felt. I see a LOT of hard work has gone into making this. I can easily see you managed to say several things by not actually saying but by appropriate filming! Kudos! Well made to aptly catch the spirit!!

      +724tomjohnston People like you have brainwashed yourself into some kind of experience that every marketer desires to create..but it doesn't exist in reality. My simple point is the bike needs no review because there are no parameters to judge it at all. It doesn't stand a chance against any bike in any way. If you like a black and white tv..one doesn't need to review it just because it is popular and has a cult following.
