                        Best investment for future, best in looks and best for small height people. Good mileage, if you want to mode then this is the best, ground clearance is short which makes it more attractive. Best finance offers from jawa yezdi chandigarh, if you want a bobber style bike then this is the bike you should go for.

                        The attractive appearance. When I saw it first time, it became my favourite bike. It's floating single seat is amazing. It stands out with its unique and eye-catching bobber design. It offers a comfortable riding experience for both city roads and highways. The Jawa 42 Bobber offers a smooth ride, strong performance, comfortable ergonomics and confident handling. Its unique bobber styling, premium finish and great road presence make every ride enjoyable. I will highly recommend this bike for its style, design, smooth performance, ride comfortable and strong road presence. It will be my first recommendation for any one who want unique and attractive appearance.

                        My riding experience
                        The biggest reason is its appearance. The floating single seat, wide rear tyre and minimalist design made it stand out. I loved the custom bike look straight from the factory. That made me choose this bike. As a solo rider, I find the seat comfortable for daily commute and short to medium highway trips although the suspension is a bit firm on rough roads. As for mileage, it is around 25 to 30 kmpl in normal riding. A solo rider would love this bike for various purposes such as everyday use or short commute or even long road trips in various terrain. The fuel to kilometre capacity is not a problem for me. Considering the current petrol crisis in India, this bike is quite manageable.

                        The guy who loves solo traveling
                        My friend had this bike first so I tried it for few long trips and I fell in love with the performance and smoothness of this beauty. Its fuel cost is more but manageable. I usually prefer performance. Looks are also good. For comfort, its good but its better for solo travelling. I travel solo pretty often, so its a best choice for me. It performs well in hilly area which was truly unexpected for me. Sometimes, its just the heat problem, my leg got burned while riding, so better be careful about it. Well, if you prefer solo travelling or like normal travel then go for it. Its better for people who can handle heavier bikes and have experience. If you can manage the fuel costs in today's economy then go for it.

                        Royal Enfield as bought a amezing bike
                        Am 6.1 height so i need comfort, maintenance cost, features and style is so good, performance wise amazing and torque in 6th gear is next level. I bought this bike for a long drive and as well as city riding. Stress less ride, the variation in weight is due to the additional touring and safety features equipped on the top-end model. Here is a quick breakdown. Totally the bike is crazy i ride this bike continuously for 500km. For ADV lover one of the best bike. I would like to recommend this bike who has a passion in off-road they can buy with any second thoughts and style is so good performance wise amazing. But service is disappointed in some service station.

                        I bought this bike in Delhi and drove 17000KM here are the few point that could help you : •Buy RSA •Add extended warranty •Add tubeless spoke wheel •Go gym or strengthen yourself •Always make sure to check your Disk brake pads it cost more then your bike service. What you will enjoy: •People always look you for you bike presence •Ask fuel efficiency •Full controlling in Handeling •Best and best seatings posture •Mileage is not that bad •Service and parts easily available •Good re-sale •Best for off-road | Long drive

                        2 years review of Royal Enfield Himalayan 450
                        Purely because of Royal Enfield reliability Upgrading from a 2015 classic 350 to Himalayan 450 is a massive difference, Literally is built for no roads. Feels like a bigger bike compared to previous generations. Bigger tank unlocks better highway travels. Positive about the bike is the Ride has been the smoothest the engine is very responsive in a good way. It is aggressive when you need it to be the plush suspension lets you move on and off road freely without any issues. Can be easily managed in traffic. Really good on the highways excellent seat comfort for the rider and the pillion for city travel as well as long highway travelling. Can be used as a daily commuter bike in city Negative about the bike Should have had the option for cruise control and quick shifter for better riding experience. I will definitely recommend this bike to the person who can firstly handle such a tall and heavy bike With great power comes great responsibility so if it is going to the first ever bike i will recommend to start riding the bike in eco mode to first get a hang of power and throttle response

                        I'm kinda adventures and I do a lot of touring and cover a lot of kms. wanted service centres in case any issue with the bike. Parts are easily available also wanted a bike with comes in my budget and doesn't not bleed me when it comes to service. Hence, this bike serves all my purpose. Rides fantastic, the build quality is amazing, it's comfortable for covering long distances in one go and the suspension, I have no worlds for it. It's glides over roads or no roads without any issues. Its just the best in this class when it comes to comfort. Yes, I will recommend the bike for sure it has taken me places where i could only dream off. From north to east from east to the west, and west to the south just riding without any issue. Close your eyes and go for it.

                        Himalayan 450 review after riding it for 500kms
                        The himalayan 450 got such a rally style design which I love it. It got the good school design with a modern twist which looks fabulous. It can take anywhere around on road or off road, the performance of the bike is really good. The bike has good amount power and I'm satisfied with what I got. When you are riding the bike it's really comfortable around the city roads with dumps and pot holes, you don't feel those dumps and potholes due to the suspension which is not adjustable but does the job. The performance of the bike is fabulous, the bike got enough power and torque to go around anywhere. The only downside is weight of the bike which is mostly front heavy, its a big deal to move the bike around while not riding. Yes absolutely, I recommend this bike for touring and off-road enthusiasts. However this bike can be used a daily commuter but one should keep in mind that the bike gives you around 19 to 21 kms mileage per litre. It's such a capable off roading machine, it got nice infotainment cluster packed with features. Finally I would say that the Royal Enfield hit a sweet spot with this machine.

                        Best bike in this budget segment
                        Best bike for low budget and adventure , if someone is looking a adventure bike and his budget is around 2.5 lacks then this bike may be the best option. Because one of my reason is mileage. It gives almost 30 to 35 km which is the maximum for a adventure bike in this budget. So If you are looking like these segment then this is best option in my opinion.

                        Best of entry level adv motorcycle
                        From ride height till ride endurance for a entry level it is a good and ideal motorcycle in the segment. Comparison with similar segment motorcycle I have never seen any other motorcycle to provide a ease of ride . At the end we can conclude that we have number of brands offering similar segment motorcycle but for me Adventure by Yezdi will be a good pick.
