                  Great dirt bike.
                  Smooth and agile. Definitely worth the cost. However the maintenance cost is high, but given that it’s a dirt bike meant for performance it is worth it. Very light weight which even makes it easier to manoeuvre and the slimmer frame doesn’t let you feel the height of the bike. Has total efficiency. Definitely a must have for mx racers or dirt bike enthusiasts.

                  KLX is a versatile off-road
                  KLX is a versatile off-road machine , Like its competitors, the KLX230R S dirt bike was made for casual riders who prefer lightweight, compact, and reasonable machines. Its single-cylinder engine delivers 20 horsepower of smooth, predictable output, ideal for beginners and seasoned riders alike. Coupled with a 6-speed transmission, shifting becomes effortless regardless of the environment. It's not only the engine that makes the Kawasaki stand out. Shorter riders will appreciate the adjustable seat height which offers more maneuverability on tricky trails. Luckily, suspension performance does not take a hit with the adjusted seat height. Despite standing out in numerous areas, Kawasaki did not compromise on the STD S features as well. the KLX230R extremely easy to control on tight trails. Alongside the lightweight chassis, equally tuned suspension further improves maneuverability through woods and single tracks. Effortless steering is paired with equally dependable brakes in the form of a 213mm front disc and a 186mm rear disc which prevent control from being lost when rapid cuts are made. The build quality is impressive and there is little need for upkeep, which makes it a plus for beginner riders.

                  Satisfying Thriller
                  Very good bike but only for off-roading enthusiasts. Although it lacks safety but the performance is top notch overall satisfied with the bike

                  Great bike
                  Overall the bike is great for both city and highway rides as I stand 6.2 ft at 88 kg and it quite nimble as well as the weight distribution is very good with great torque and power figures. It’s a comfortable bike but the rear suspension is a bit stiff which can easily be resolved by replacing it with the classic Nitrox ones and it’s decently priced as well. However the biggest cons I found was the front led headlight which is honestly pathetic and the unreliable fuel tank indicator.

This is basically confortable with both solo and pillon, and for long trips you can go for this bike. Just speed would be less rest is ok.

                  Meteor 350
                  I'm riding this bike on highway pretty good performance and i love this bike and i drove it from kozhikode to idukki very good comfort and no back pain, i reach idukki about 5.5 hours and that is prestty fast. High perfomance and a mileage of 30 km per litre, i think this is decent good comfort can ride smoothly 250-300 km without any strain in back good sitting position in long ride we can get upto 35 km per litre. Yes of course good mileage for a 350 cc cruiser good perfomance, good comfort, decent mileage of 30-35 kilo metre per litre good service from royal enfield i think it is best in the market with this price range.

                  Comfortable bike
                  My friend suggested that it would be better and yes its better plus best for long and slow riding so much comfortable. People need to go classy over flashy. If you want slow ride and comfort better it is good. Comfort is awesome when you are riding all eyes on you but it's down clearance a bit off but it's ok, design is awesome and not feeling any bumps. I ride 1284km till now and it's awesome and great. Go for it Yes of course, I recommend this bike to buy but if you dont feel slow ride maybe this bike is not for you. Its very Heavy to handle in speed the fear of accident can take places so ride safe and slow.
