While i saw many 350 cc bikes and i think this the most compatible 350cc bike and you can never disagree with honda reliability, overall the best 350 cc in classic segment among bikes like Enfield and yezdi. Its been great so far the bike is giving pretty good, mileage and the comfort has been no issue for me when long run great, the only problem i had the power drop over the years and thats the only one. Yeah for sure for those people who really are interested in classic segment, don't get your mind confused by going with bullet all this should be in your list for you to be considered cause you have to ride your bikesRead More
Family-oriented scooter and comfortable for city rides with soft suspension and reliability of TVS. The Jupiter is itself a very big name in the scooter market for over a decade and provides the complete, balanced package. The scooter is smooth, and the space is more than enough, the only problem is that it doesn't give confidence during overtakes. The service centre experience is also not good, but overall the scooter is a complete package. Yes, 100% to people who are looking for a no-nonsense scooter with comfort and space on daily rides from point A to B with decent power dynamics and a lot of space, and the scooter provides all required features.Read More
