Rounding off the list is the Royal Enfield Classic 350, the best selling bike in its category. It offers a perfect balance between retro design, great ride comfort, and good performance. Royal Enfield sold 34,958 units in December. There was a 0.44% increment in month-on-month sales, and an 8.34% increment in terms of the year-on-year sales.
As you can see, the common trend seems to be a fair decline in month-on-month sales. Apart from the fact that December is the last month of the year, and sales are generally on the lower side, the big month-on-month drop could also be due to the record-breaking sales in November triggered by GST-led price cut that coincided well with the festive mood in that month.
User Reviews
- A True Classic That Never Fails to ImpressI chose the Royal Enfield Classic 350 because of its powerful engine, attractive design, strong build quality, comfortable ride, and amazing road presence. It feels premium, reliable, and every ride on it is truly enjoyable. The ride has been enjoyable overall. The Classic 350 feels comfortable and gives a royal, king-like riding experience. Its power delivery is smooth, highway stability is excellent, and the handling feels confident once you get used to the weight. It isn't meant for high speed or great mileage, and its heavy build may not suit everyone. Long-distance rides can feel tiring, but for short highway trips and city rides, it offers a unique charm and an enjoyable riding experience. Yes, I would recommend the Royal Enfield Classic 350, but not to everyone. If you love a strong road presence, classic looks, and a relaxed riding experience, this bike is worth it. It gives you confidence every time you ride, and after getting used to it, many other bikes feel less exciting. However, it's heavy, not very fuel-efficient, and the price is on the higher side. If you can't handle a heavy motorcycle, it's better to look at other options. Buy it for its character, comfort, and killer looks not for mileage or top speed.Read More

- VERY GOOD PERFORMANCEService and maintenance charge is normal, mileage is 50 - 55 kmpl on highway, 45-50 kmpl in cities and streets. Overall, it is a quite good bike with good performance and minimal costs. Everyday rides upto hundred kms can be done easily, I ride daily around 80 kms and it is very easy for me and it's a sports bike even with only 125 CC engine.Read More
- City ride with Hf deluxeI chose the HF Deluxe because it is known for reliability, low maintenance cost, and excellent fuel efficiency, which suits daily commuting needs. Being a product from Hero MotoCorp, it also gives confidence in terms of service network and resale value. The ride so far has been quite smooth and comfortable for city use. The seat is well cushioned and the suspension handles rough roads decently. Mileage is a strong point easily giving around 65 to 70 km per litre which makes it very economical. The bike is lightweight so handling is easy especially in traffic, However speed and power are limited it is not built for aggressive riding On highways it performs okay at moderate speeds 50 to 70 km per hour but feels slightly underpowered if you try to push beyond that. Yes I would definitely recommend this bike to anyone looking for a budget friendly low maintenance daily commuter especially for city rides rather than long highway touring and for office use daily updowRead More
