In the current issue, there is a pic of Brian Catterson on what appears to be a Royal Enfield Electra-X.
Does this mean we'll be getting a review of this bike soon?
Any thoughts on how that model performs compared to the Bullet(before the hoped for article goes to press :-) )?

We were planning to include the India Enfield in a retro-themed comparison until we heard rumors the company may be going out of business. We're waiting for confirmation from the U.S. importer before deciding how to proceed.

In the few miles I rode the Electra-X, however, I'd say it's an a big improvement over the Bullet, especially its disc front brake. The Bullet's drum front brake was so weak, it was scary ... though fun, in a sick sort of way.

Brian, if you wait to determine if a company is about to go out of business before reviewing their bikes, you'd NEVER have ANY Italian bikes!!!And this from a dyed-in-the Dainese Ducatisti!
