The buying experience wasn't great, to say the least. With no leg guard included and a thin rod for a back rest, it was really uncomfortable to ride. The ride was very jerky, especially when crossing 80 km/h and you could feel the parts vibrate and shake up to 120 km/h. The looks were okay, but the performance was well below average. Fuel efficiency was the only thing that was good, offering over 40 km/l for long-distance rides. Braking was not efficient for a bike of this size.
Servicing this bike was a nightmare. Post warranty, you would need to shell out more than 25k per year as nearly everything had to be changed after each service. Even the silencer came off easily if you were not careful.
Overall, the good looks and fuel efficiency were the only good things about this bike. Everything else was a con.
The experience of getting a key in the ignition, pumping the decompressor and then giving the kick start to the engine is truly amazing. The engine gives off a calming vibration and the feeling of excitement is immediately noticeable. Another unique element is the neutral finder which is so simple to use yet unheard of by many people, especially bikers.
My Electra is a bit of a hybrid, with an electric start (which I hardly use), front disc brakes and a decent engine. It's not too old nor too new, but somewhere in between. I love it when people check it out and ask about it, and I often get to tell them a piece of the old experience. It may not be as fast as the new bikes, but when the engine warms up after a ten-minute ride, it gives off better pickups and a lovely thump that feels like it's ready to run. The area I live in, is full of beautiful plains and hilly roads, some good, some bad and some worse. But it's a pleasure to ride on this beast, no matter the obstacles. If taken care of properly, it will take care of you back.
The Royal Enfield BULLET ELECTRA is a very common bike these days and I can understand why. It has a classic design that appeals to many people, and it does have a few advantages. For instance, it has a two-valve, four-stroke engine and three-speed gears, making it a decent option for those who want to ride quickly and safely.
However, there are a few downsides to the bike. The mileage is not great, as it only has two valves and four strokes. Additionally, it does not have many of the necessary features that newer generations of bikes come with, such as a rear disk brake, a fuel gauge, or a stand alert system.
Overall, the classic design of the BULLET ELECTRA is its biggest selling point. But if you're looking for a classic design with a 350cc engine and five-speed gears, I'd suggest going with the Royal Enfield Classic 350 instead. It has more features and is a much better bike overall.
The Royal Enfield engine lacks technical specifications and build quality, making it a poor choice for long drives. This is a waste of money and a foolish decision, as the engine produces irritating sounds and vibrations. It is not a bike, it is a sound machine.
The Royal Enfield Bullet Electra looks like a cruiser bike, thanks to its rugged body and huge tank, giving it an unmistakable identity on the roads. It has a unique seating position, which is why it's so comfortable and safe. The mileage is 53 kmpl, which is quite good for a 350cc bike. It has a powerful 350cc, twin spark engine, making it very reliable. The design of the Bullet Electra is also impressive. It isn't ostentatious, but it still has a regal feel to it. When you ride it, you'll be amazed at how it sticks to the road, no matter how fast you go. The price of the Bullet Electra is 1.18 lakhs, which is quite reasonable considering the quality of the bike.

I have been using this muscular bike from the last two years. Before that I had used almost all 100-150 cc bikes including Suzuki Samurai, Yamaha RX100, Bajaj Kawasaki etc. over the last 10 years. But having this bike is really a different experience. Friends, if you need a bike just for racing, then this is not the motorcycle you are looking for. However, it has quite big figures on the chart, but its gearing ration and weight is made such that the bike is for cruising, not for racing. The machine can take you all the way to 120km/hr (company claims 100 km/hr), but stopping the motorcycle is a big problem. Paint quality is good but requires frequent wax in order to keep the bike shinning. As far as its price is concerned, it is not that that much pricey if we see its specifications and features. The low ground clearance is the weak point where silencer and stand touches ground while crossing tough roads.
Best Features: Powerful Engine
Pros: Stunning looks, powerful engine, good build quality, excellent handling, comfortable for long rides
Cons: Low ground clearance
I am the proud owner of Royal Enfield Electra 350. Proud because whenever I go on road with my machine, every eye got stuck on me and my ride. It earned me fame and make me proud..:). On the serious note, its a bike for cruising not racing. So, If you want it for racing purpose then this is not the bike for you mate. But I am not regretting that it won't go to high speed, the problem is, if it take you all the way to 120Km/hr, stopping the bike become issue for you. The engine is vibration free till 80kmph and when you start approaching 90-100, you may feel some vibrations but still it would provide you stable ride. The braking system is powerful enough that serve the purpose well. I did not face any brake pad issue. Its seats are not so comfy but it is able to provide comfortable long drives as the seating posture is straight. I too have doubts regarding its comfort and weight before purchase, but now I am happy for my decision. I enjoy every km I travel on this bull.
