Royal Enfield Bullet 350

My personal opinion, if you really want to own a bullet, kindly opt for an old model 350 std, whose gears are on reverse.Pros:1. Low maintenance cost, but periodic maintenance required.2. High in comfort when compared to modern models of RE with 350cc engines.3. Dedicated chambers for gear box, clutch and engine. Engine box is never disturbed in normal case.4. Performance of engine is optimum for daily stress free rides.5. Mileage is approx 38 to 40 Kmpl in standard ride conditions.6. Full metal body and weight of vehicle is evenly distributedCons:1. Electric start not available.2. ABS / Disc brakes not available. But, the drum brakes are powerful and reliable enough.Riding old (1992 to 1995) bullets, are very much satisfying. True Indian Cruiser.

Before buying try to test ride a couple of vehicles and see which suits your comfort level. Riding a bullet is quite easy as the weight is very well balanced. The problem you might face is while turning the vehicle or pushing it forth and back with the engine turned off. With little practice you would be able to manage these situations as well. Age is never a concern for bullet riders.

You can change the handle bar of the bike in a custom shop according your comfort. That is the easy way rather than changing the whole bike. Please search online or go to shops where off market accessories are available.

I am 100 % sure definitely your mileage will get affected if you are looking for high beat note Exhaust (not a silencer) and its going to drain your wallet (note: there no improvement in pickup either so disappointing). only stock silencer can provide you a better mileage. If you are looking for fancy sound that sounds like dominating the road then get ready to loose some engine pulling capacity, eventually this lead to tuning your engine, here\\\'s the hardest part in default factory engine tuning setting with modified exhaust its a disaster in your mileage, due to drop in pulling power of engine on installing modified exhaust note you have to choose for acceleration tuning setting with modified exhaust is like burning your money that would aprox 25 kmpl. your decide up on your suitable budget.

Weight is not an issue. The bullet is a little taller than the classic, i guess you can ride bullet but you will face difficulties . Try the classic 350 if your feet touches the ground than its good you can also adjist the seat in the classic in the market so you are good to go. As for the bullet it will be difficult.

You can even choose RE Himalayan Too if you like it. if you worry about your height you can go test ride Triumph Tiger, Benelli trk 502x or 502. I am not telling you to buy those bike, I am telling you to have a test ride only so that you can have a good idea about that bike, I am suggesting you idea because of you height, I know lots of height rider facing issue like handle bar hiring their knee or some of the people bike look like a Bicycle when height rider rides the bike. No offence correct me if i am wrong.
