That time did not aware what’s difference between the various models of Bullet, probably i was liking the Thumping sound that time (almost 10 - 15 years back) when i was in school. one of my pet is name is Bullet :) .hope most of us would be having the same kind of memories :)

the thunder bird, do keep in mind a few points. It is not a maintenance free or low maintenance bike. If u take care of her she will take care of you. A few oil leaks and electrical issues are standard problems. You will have to get used to the bird in order to shift gears smoothly, it wont happen from the time you take it out of the showroom. It is not a regular city bike, so if you are in the sales field and have to travel a lot in the city .. not a good idea to take the bird. Apart from this,.. the bird is the best bike to drive. If you love going on trips it is a wonderful experience. I don’t think at the moment there is any other bike that can take on this machine.
