Has anyone ridden one of these bikes? Any idea what they are like?

I have suddenly taking a liking to them - they look amazing and although are made in India now it would be nice to have a "British" bike.

Only thing that seems wrong is I don't think it would exactly suit a 17 year old Laughing

hah, must admit theres something about them I quite like (including the price)

I'd probably have one as a 2nd/3rd bike if I had the space.

I have the bullet classic. I think they are really nice bikes, they are not fast and dont like to be pushed would be frustrating if you wanted to get places quick. They are not just get on and drive bikes, things need checked and adjusted every so often.
If you dont mind the above, they are great bikes, I wouldnt want to sell mine, its a keeper. Mine has done 2000mls now so the gearbox is getting better and engine settling, I think these bikes get better with time. Brakes are not very powerful but then neither is the engine. They sound great, look great and have great character, people always come over and talk about the bike.

Longest exhaust ever.

I rode one and it was ok providing you remember you have no brakes and a crap gearbox (by modern standards)
