Hi,

Just registered few days ago but been reading as a guest for quite a while.
Have not been riding a motorcycle for a long time and now I have decided to get one again.
In my search for a Jawa (grew up riding Jawa, CZ) which was not very successful have found the Bullet.
I have enjoyed reading about many subjects on this forum, most of all I enjoyed reading about the C5 instability issue and how you guys handled the problem.
I just would like to say THANKS to this forum, you made it easy for me to decide that after long time without a motorcycle my first one will be Royal Enfield.

Hiho Easy! You´ll have - without a doubt - great fun with the Bullet and collect flies betwenn your teeth grinning

You said you were growing up with Jawa & CZ? That´s pretty uncommon for a Californian - first I thought you were Polish or Czech until I had a look on your profile. Greetings from Bavaria

Thanks Singhg5. That is a good question. I like the looks of the C5 and the solid construction of the G5. I hope that the instability issues with the C5 are corrected on the 2011 models because that is the one I would like to get.
G5 with a single seat??

Thanks Maturin,

Your first thought was correct, I was born in Czechoslovakia, now Czech Republic.
Drove through Bavaria few times on my way to Budweiss in Czech Republic.

What instability? My 2011 is responsive but not unstable. Anybody got a link?

r80rt · **Reply #18 on:** April 18, 2011, 03:22:49 am

I've never had any instability with my '09 C5.

I've got a '10 C5 - solid as a rock... really "curves" too...!!!
