  1. Does it come with a counter balancer to kill vibration i mean in the engine , any modification in chassis to improve handling. Why too much weight 189 kg normal bullet 500 lighter at 165 kg i saw in overdrive magazine. And electra 350 is 170 kg why this weight difference . I m expecting answer from over drive team

  4. Man to be honest am really confused..I want 500 but i don’t know if its right..I just wanna see some reviews so probably will wait for some reviews ..
    Until then am stuck up making my decision between 350 and 500 !!
    both are hot and espl 500 is way too hot with a single seater even better

    i am planning to purchase Thunderbird by next week.I need know is if i can change the thunderbird silencer with the enfield classics bend silencer as i really loved it. also if i can change the tyres of thunderbird with the 500cc classics as i find thunderbirds tyres a little too big for my liking. will it affect the balance of the bike or the ground clearence, also i am not sure it smaller tyres will look cool on the thunderbird…?
    please help me with your valuabe suggestion.
