Mediocre bike
Mileage is alright if you keep a steady pace,handle wobbles above 90kmph and vibration on lower rpms too.comfort for long rides is okay but can do better with aftermarket seat.braking is good with the double disc brakes but engine heating is an issue in summers for rides over 70kms.overall a decent bike but can do better with more features

Very good bike.
The Royal Enfield Classic 650 is a great bike that is known for its big and powerful engine, comfortable ride and classic design . This bike is a great choice for those who want an iconic bike that is also suitable for long distance travel. The 648cc parallel-twin engine produces 47 bhp of power and 52 Nm of torque. The riding position is comfortable, and the seat is good too, making it suitable even for long journeys. The design of the bike is classic, which gives it a unique look.

My brother bought Royal Enfield !
My brother bought Royal Enfield Classic 350 in 2022, today the vehicle has been 3 years old but there has been no major problem with the vehicle.Even though the monthly maintenance cost of the bike is a bit high but in terms of feel and performance the bike is 10/10! If you are earning and you have around 5-6 thousand left per month, then you should definitely buy this bike. I personally recommend this bike to everyone.

A Worth Look.
The Leoncino 500 is a bike I recently purchased and have been enjoying. After riding it for a while I can say the Leoncino 500 delivers on its promises. The 500cc parallel twin engine provides plenty of low and midrange torque for zipping through traffic and cruising the highway. The classic scrambler styling looks great and the comfortable seat and upright ergonomics make it easy to ride for long periods. If you want a stylish, easy-to-handle middleweight naked bike with decent power The Benelli Leoncino 500 is worth a look.

Fantastic Experience
The Benelli Leoncino 500 has converted the standard delicacy and vitality of the highway that I'm familiar with. Because of its iconic 2-wheeler and robust ministry, every elevator offers a novelettish and significant experience. Its ultramodern features and slice and bone functionality give a flawless and active interpretation on all fronts. monumental commands and first-rate inductions give a gratuitous caste of luxury, making every ride affable and stirring, whether it's a whirlwind assist or a belated ride. The Benelli Leoncino 500 has surfaced as the classic of archetypal fineness and I like it more, setting new norms for what a true archetypal sedan can achieve in tenures of honey and interpretation.

The Stylish Bike
The Benelli Leoncino 500 is a stylish and versatile bike designed to provide a great riding experience. With its 500cc engine, it offers a balanced combination of power and agility for various riding situations. The thing that sets the Leoncino 500 apart is its modern and classic design, making it suitable for both city rides and longer trips. However, it may not have the high-end power and features of more expensive bikes, but it offers a good and stylish ride for those searching for a balance between style and performance.
