Hi,
Royal Enfield Thunderbird has good lot of Thump and is very reliable bike.You can go ahead with the same.

Answer by Shiva Shankar 06 June 2010

I own a Bullet myself(standard 4s) and would not replace it with any other model. Bullet is for its comfort and it is reliable as any other bike with a little bit more care. You can have better thump with changed silencer. Buy one and if you feel you are not happy with the thump do some modifications.

Dear Santosh,
100% sure u will get thump if u changed silenser,fix silenser of Enfield standard model,few days back my friend did.he is happy now...:)

Answer by Umesh 06 June 2010

Hi Santosh,
Dont even think about the thunderbird. It has basic problems with the chassis design itself. The rear mudguard breaks after a while since the rear supports rest on the mudguard. Thats the reason for low resale value of the thunderbird. So I disagree with Shiv. Instead you can buy the electra twin spark and change the silencer, you will get the thump for sure. The twin spark is just to ensure you get complete combustion of the air and fuel mixture thereby ensuring a better milage for the bike and better power too. So all in all more refined. Go for it!.

IF U WANT BULLET AND DRIVE WITH PEACE OF MIND THAN U GO FOR 350STD POINT MODEL . NO OTHER MODEL . (( ELECTRA .. TB .. TWINS PARK ,, CLASSIC ))ALL R FOR 1 SEASON ONLY....BUT STD 350 WILL GIVE U FULL SATISFY ...THINKING AND EXPERIMENTS WITH OTHER BRAND WILL GIVE U LOSS OF MONEY ,MIND , TIME ..
UNDERSTAND BEET WILL COME FROM ENGINE NOT IN SILENCER .. U CAN CHANGE 10/ 15 PERCENT SOUND .. CAN U EXPECT IN SPLENDOR .BY CHANGING BULLET SILENCER AS A BULLET BEET ..
FOR MORE CLEAR U MAY GO NEAREST BULLET MECH ,WHO REPAIRS ONLY BULLET AND GET SOLLUTION FOR UR DOUBTS

Bullet Electra TS engine comes wits UCE construction which is made by aluminum. The new engine is very reliable & maintains free. But the original deep and loud cast iron thump missing here. By changing silencer you can achieve maximum 70% of the original Cast Iron engine thump.
