Hi all, I'm looking to buy another Enfield. Earlier on this year I sold my Electra X to replace it with the new Himalayan which never arrived, so I cancelled the order. Now to the question. How does a "65" 5 speed bullet compare to the Electra X? I don`t use motorways and the nearest dual carriage way is an hours ride away. My Electra was happy at an indicated 60mph and was quite smooth as well . I also tend to do longer rides rather than short trips and carry camping gear etc. So will it be a suitable replacement for the Electra. After an engine rebuild my Electra did 7k miles without bother or should I look at waiting and buy an efi model? I look forward to hearing your thoughts

Hi Davie,
If it helps any my Bullet "65" Red Baron could well be up for sale at the end of this season....
