one of my friend advised me that, model start from royal enfield thunder bird are making a vibrational noise in engine during ideal position of the bullet. whether the same problem is occurring in 2009 Classic 500CC??

This is one pathetic move by RE. Well! Nothing to be surprised about after its "marvellous" launch of the AVL engines and doing away with the classic all Cast Iron bulk spice.

Blame Siddharth Lal (the former CEO) for all this upgradation which is definitely boosting the sales, but in the wrong direction. The design is no doubt historic and classic, but nevertheless, it was targeted at the freaking pulsar and hero honda crowd to sell them like hot cakes. What's speed when it comes to the Bullet?? It's all about torque and a smooth ride on a majestic pace till the road lasts.

UCE? Self Start? Side-stand indicator? Left Gear? What the %$$^@??
Legend is a legend and nothing matches the then Motorcycles wih todays Bikes. Yes guys, Motorcycles and Bikes, BIG Difference!

All this and I'm still falling short of words. But, I think I have made my point.

Comes from a REAL RIDER. Owner of Bullet 350 std. (1975 + 1981 models).

This so called "Bullet Classic" is a SHAM and disgrace to the fair name of RE and Bullet. Look guys get real please, a Bullet is NOT a Bullet unless it has CI engine, 4-speed RIGHT side gear shift,Neutral lever and Contact Break Ignition.
Basically RE has just introduced a new model like they have over the years (and which have gone kaput after ppl realize the above fact).
After huffing and puffing for years that the Machismo was "the ultimate collectors item" we know now what has happened to it! I am sorry to say that I predict the death of this as well in a shorter space of time. And what the about the atrocious pricing (in these times of rampant inflation and galloping recession???)
If they think that this so called modern vintage of a bike can replace the REAL deal (Standard 350) then they are seriously mistaken, and have lost the plot! RE has done a great disservice to itself and to the world by discontinuing its mascot of the last 50-odd years, and it will likely spell its final ruination -mark my words!
RE has replaced its British soul with this half Japanese trash. They have tried to please too many people and authorities while forgetting the very people who have made them so popular (true blue Indian bulleteers since 1955) -- if anyone thinks otherwise, ask any army jawan worth his salt if he would ever ride this rubbish instead of the real thumper ... the Standard 350 Thumper!

hey all,

i didnt got a chance to do a test ride the new CL, But for sure the UCE is one biggest drawback for RE. I agree completly that old once can be fixed by opening just that particualar assembly, but for UCE you need to open all the engine for one work to be done which is not even related to other.

Aluminium is fancy and iron cast is strong and reliable. I have a old 96 STD 350 just redone except engine, very reliable and enjoyful as far as thump is concerned. I am not sure about the guy talking about thump on the new CL, they got no thump, just a glide like new thunderbirds.

OLD is GOLD for RE thats for sure.

Hi yesterday only i had a testride of bullet EFI 350 at the showroom, guys you wont belive it, that was true power, as compared to previous bullet 350, the look & feel was awsome and the thump was just out of this world.. i wonder what it's going to be once i change the silencer..with the new trumphet one which comes with extra 1900 bucks, also this new machine is going to give a better average as compared the conventional cast iron engine, and requires less mantenance... only once per 6000 Kms, this machine is simply amazing, the only problem is to wait for the delivery..
thanx

I've ridden almost all models of two wheelers in under 200cc including RE 350cc. Last week I've taken the Test Drive of Classic 500cc and and is really admiring in its look and performance. Its smooth and fantastic.
Since all its look was intended to give a classic look, the digital dashboard will not fit for it. I would suggest a rear disc instead of the drum. Once you used with the rear disc, a better braking you own.

Thanks
Nidhinlal TC

I absolutely disagree that a digital dashboard would be better. This is a classic bike a dig dash would look UGLY on it. Though they could've incorporated a an analog tachometer and trip meter. The only problem people are going to face is that the EFI system would be serviceable only at RoyalEnfield service centres unlike the other enfields which can be very well taken care of by some specialist mechanics outside the authorized service centres. This EFI unit will be connected to a computer and will have lots of data logged on it. So service and repair bills are expected to be substantially higher. I think the classic-350-UCE with a carburettor would be a better choice.
