Abii - what is the safe speed you need to maintain on your highways out there so that you do not get rear-ended and run over?
Please note - while the "theoretical" top speed of the C5 is 135 kmph, NO Bullet, be it 350 or 500, is happy at anything over 90-100 kmph for extended running.
These are ancient 1950s technology air cooled engines with push rod driven cams (instead of single/double overhead chain driven ones).
Admittedly the C5 now has fuel injection, electronic ignition, ECU, and all the modern doo-dah. But its still an Enfield. It will still leak oil ("mark its territory"). It will still overheat. Cables will still snap and the most inopportune moment. Clutch will slip and overheat and wear out. Chain will eat sprockets for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It will rattle and hum and shake and vibrate such that you do not need a massage after a long ride - hours after your hands and fingers stop tingling and your vision clears and your ears stop ringing.
But the slow thump and feel and aural orgasm is unlike any other bike out there in the world. And I would not sell my old 2002 Bullet 500 for anything in the world.
