500cc long stroke engine, a five speed gearbox with a left hand shift, a carb rather than fuel injection but a disc brake that looks a bit naff, but never mind......
Then read far too much on the internet including stuff from a bloke who really hates the model I fancied with such a passion he almost put me off the idea with his yarns of inevitable mechanical chaos and doom - but not quite!
Today had a test ride on, and bought a really tidy 2006 500 Bullet Electra X for 1600 quid that makes me grin from ear to ear every time I fire it up for a chug around more than anything I've ridden for a while!
Now to see if it's as good as Peter Henshaw says, or as crap and unreliable as the other bloke does....
