                        Riding experience and Maintenance
                        The bike gives great performance and comfort for the long run, maintenance is little costly but the bike doesn't disappoint, ABS gives really good safety and bike due to its heavy weight remains stable on high speeds. Handling maneuvering is easy. It's easy to control, all the electricals work fine. Overall worth a buy.

                        I recommend for students
                        Stylish and mileage is good. The bike looks are amazing and the bike gives 42kmpl mileage in city. It is e85 compliant so you don't need to worry about fuel cost. Yahama have a good service and you usually get any parts of the bike easily. This bike in highway it's feel like you riding a jet and the bike is so so amazing and in highway it's give you 45-50 mileage and the sites is good and this bike have good in build quality and the bike weight is so light. For college students and works it's good bike have good mileage and low maintenance cost so for college students is good. And I am a college student I have less pocket money but I save money from the pocket money.

                        roller coaster of emotions
                        Seeing this bike for the first time on road was nothing short of fabulous and i decided to buy it, the next day only, my personal experience has a lot of ups and down. - week 1 gear shifting was buttery smooth bus after 500kms it got stiff and rigid - mirrors do not suit the bike at all - very impressive performance - 10/10 road presence - suspension is slightly rigid in city commute - riding posture is a mix of sporty and aggressive - engine feels very smooth yet powerful at the same time overall the experience has been great, if you are looking for a bike for daily commute with a punch of power and occasional long rides, would 100% recommend buying it eyes closed, more importantly if you want a bike that makes you smile when you look at it, go for it.

                        This bike is awesome and stable
                        I choose this bike because of performance and mileage. Everything is perfect in the bike and the look and design is really awesome. It looks like a racer bike. This bike suit me a lot because I am 5.6. The performance of this bike is really awesome. I can play with this bike and this is really awesome for cruising or for racing because it has high performance gears and stability of the bike is awesome. I will recommend this to buy because I get sufficient mileage for city rides and if I want to go to highway, I can get around 36 to 37 which is really nice for long tours and rides. It comes with very less weight.

                        joy ....very bad experience
                        Buying experience not so good, riding comfort is too bad, look is good, performence is not so good, handle bar and rider body in between distance unmatched, this is very uncomfortable for long drive like 40 to 50 km, its make pressure on hand, build quality also bad, a new bike also make noise from the body part.

                        Royal Enfield
                        Good for city traffic and once the bike is ridden for 3/4 kms, its more smoother and with rising fuel price, the bike provides a very good mileage compared to its rivals and in long journeys Royal Enfield is much more reliable. This bike never disappoint. Very positive experience. I have been riding it in city traffic and compared to other bikes, this bikes is way more smoother and easy to handle. Good riding posture, good fuel economy, even long rides are fun to have in a Royal Enfield. The bike is reliable and good build quality, good to ride and every one who has ridden one has never regretted and this bikes are like u have one and u can ride them for years without any issues. Nice bike.

                        Royal Feel with Bullet 350
                        Maine Royal Enfield Bullet 350 isliye choose ki kyunki mujhe hamesha se classic bikes pasand rahi hain aur Bullet ka look aur feel alag hi level ka hai. Iska design simple hone ke bawajood bhi kaafi royal aur premium lagta hai. Road par chalate waqt log automatically notice karte hain, jo ek alag hi confidence deta hai. Ab tak ka riding experience kaafi acha raha hai. Bullet 350 chalane ka feel alag hi hota hai, especially jab aap highway par ride karte ho. Engine ka power smooth hai aur bike stable rehti hai even high speed par bhi. Haan, main definitely Royal Enfield Bullet 350 recommend karunga, lekin yeh depend karta hai ki aap kis type ki riding pasand karte ho. Agar aapko classic look, strong road presence aur relaxed riding experience chahiye, to yeh bike perfect hai.

                        I never dislike Royal Enfield bike
                        I would select a royal Enfield bike for my style and luxury life and like that sounds and performance chosen for long-distance comfort, while a more aggressive, aerodynamic, and stiff frame is chosen for racing The ride so far is a mix of learning building confidence and finding joy in the journey with many riders suggesting it takes about a month to get comfortable while some say it takes up to five years Key elements often include practicing low-speed maneuvers wearing proper gear and most importantly riding your own ride at a comfortable pace. Royal Enfield bikes are highly recommended for riders seeking a retro-styled comfortable and charismatic machine for cruising, commuting, or long-distance touring, particularly with the new 350cc J-series and 650cc twin-cylinder models.
