Hi guys,
This wold be my second post on this forum ( first was saying hi to all).
So I am in complete dilemma for the past six months as to which buy should I own.
I already had a fair share of 'plastic bikes' so decided to go with legendary royal enfield. Most specifically all new Continental GT.
honestly speaking, I am a little skeptical about buying this bike . I had my fair share of plastic bikes experience so wanted to buy a good "metal" bike. So I walked into enfield's showroom to buy bullet 500 but at the time of booking I laid my eyes on GT535 and I was like WOW! Like that's something you don't get to see everyday. Took a test drive.. Still under its spell but I have my concerns. Since you guys obviously know better than me can you please enlighten me on:
1) the wrist and shoulder pain that I got from 10 min ride. I kept my thighs and arms parallel plus gripped fuel tank with thighs as well
2) to what extent is the plastic used on this machine?
3) can I used this bike for touring 200kms at a stretch?
4) can I increase the exhaust sound.. The bike I test drove used the aftermarket silencer..still not satisfied with it
5) lastly, do any of you guys regret owning it? Since bullet 500 and mighty duke390 is the same price bracket.
I would use this bike for weekends and would go on trips and tours. I don't mind spending 2L on GT. I have this feeling that complete fleet of RE would be revamped by 2017 ( also read it somewhere).
I have missed the 3 delivery date due to this dilemma only. Now I have the deadline from parents either buy it in July or don't buy at all. Need your help... SOS!
