And if you want more opinions, go over to the Indian website, and on its bulletin board, there is a topic " New Machismo v Electra"! Bear in mind that the Electra in India is the iron engined 350, while the other is the 350 AVL, now also sold in the 500 version. You will find people divided in their views just as they are here! Some of them also prefer the iron engined 350 to the AVL 500!!
