what i felt these day is that the RE Co. should kept option open for the bullet lovers to go with unit constructed engine or cast iron engine, and i hope no one mind my honest view.

I just heard from the RE Showroom here in Pune that the WAIT period is for at least 1 year! Also, due to the launch of Electra with UCE (I saw that sample at the showroom), they have discontinued (already!) the Bullet Classic 350cc!!
I think RE has lost the plot … they have destroyed their leading mascot (the legendary “iron-clad” Standard Bullet 350) and have unleashed something that is only a cheap imitation of a bullet, and is just plain too expensive (at nearly 1.5lacs after all the necessary paperwork and add-ons. Now to add insult to injury, the waiting period is only getting longer and longer!
This is what happens when decision are made by drawing-room and classroom “management-gurus” of the IIMs etc. instead of the tried and trusted lot on the good-ol’ shop-floor.
RE has sown the seeds of its own destruction, and will soon head the way of other legends like AJS Matchless, Norton, BSA etc.
And what about the Indian Army? Which jawan in his right mind is going to ride anything other than the only “real bike” there is — i.e. 4-speed CI engined Standard???

I have booked classic 500cc knowing that the wait period is 6 months. After having bad experience while speaking with the sales person, I have cancelled my booking. Even my friends (3 bookings) also did the same thing.

We all have decided to enjoy long and safe Drives than crappy rides…
