I have been using this bike from 4 years, Initially it was felt smooth riding and now the ride has become rough.I feel a lot of scope to refine the royal enfield engines.Sometimes the power is not sufficient to enjoy the ride in little exciting mode, Believe royal enffiled should work on improving power.
