A nice bike with some modification
Good for style and show off but when it comes to managing it, it is vey heavy and can not be managed by a normal guy who is under 60 or 70kg. But it is a really good bike. I will prefer the standard or black gold because it provide a premium look. I love this bike.

Expireance
So, I have owned this bike for like 3 years now, and no major problem has been there. It works well, looks amazing, and has low maintenance cost, at least for me. But the only thing is that it’s more of a cruiser, so from a speed perspective, it kind of lacks. Overall, a solid choice, just like its name, it’s a Bullet.

My life my bike
For the looks and its heaviness, it’s a happiness in my life. So good, heavy, stable, and safe bike. Other than those light bikes, its drive is very stable on the roads. If you want high-speed rides, then this bike is also the best option, bro. The ride is soo good, feels stable safe on this bike, maintenance is little costlier than other bikes, but the service and comfort is top notch and high power, and bike is really smooth and comfortable. Person with heavy body and decent hight should buy this bike, because its too heavy and on other hands, I would not recommend this bike to a person with very low income, its feel littel bit costly if your income is not enough to maintain this.

Royal Enfield
Good for city traffic and once the bike is ridden for 3/4 kms, its more smoother and with rising fuel price, the bike provides a very good mileage compared to its rivals and in long journeys Royal Enfield is much more reliable. This bike never disappoint. Very positive experience. I have been riding it in city traffic and compared to other bikes, this bikes is way more smoother and easy to handle. Good riding posture, good fuel economy, even long rides are fun to have in a Royal Enfield. The bike is reliable and good build quality, good to ride and every one who has ridden one has never regretted and this bikes are like u have one and u can ride them for years without any issues. Nice bike.
