The "bullet" has a devoted legion of followers ("bulleteers");through out the world, It is admittedly not perfect; fast;or unbreakable but its uncomplicated design: single cylinder; single carburetor,andsimple ignition; results in a machine that lends itself to be tuned,modified and repaired by its owner. The bullet does require more mechanical attention from its rider than a modern japanese multi cylinder; Infact once a few s imple maintenence routines are learned that becomes partof itscharm; and a reason in itself for a motorcyclist to own one.
The internet contains a wealth of information related to the bullet. I encourage youto explore on your own. Herea few particularly interesting links: "Gurunandan's" site at cybersteering,.com ("Bullet myths and mysteries") Is a nice collection of learning, practice and philosophy on keeping your bullet intop performance. I think of myself as pretty knowledgable on mechanical things, Nandan's theory and explanation of the goings on in thegasoline engine enlightened me on more than a few things.I recomendit to motorcyclist and non motorcyclist alike.
