- comfort or classic feelClassic 350 mere liye ek comfortable aur enjoyable bike hai. Iska classic look kaafi premium lagta hai aur riding bhi smooth feel hoti hai. Long rides me comfort achha rehta hai. Pickup, handling aur exhaust sound bhi mast hain. Overall bike ka experience kaafi satisfying hai. I love to ride this bike.Read More
- royal enfield hunter 350 my reviewIt's a really good bike to ride in the city. Really good torque and also has amazing exhaust. Note even with stock however the rear suspension is a bit hard. Not a bad bike at all if you are looking for daily commuting along with a good amount of power. Eyecatching and people have even stopped me to ask about the bike and overall the bike is really good.Read More
- Meaningful touring bikeFor bike performance, like engine, comfort, reliability, smooth ride. Availability, It is a great bike to compete with peer bikes. Actually, It is under rated. Overall it is in good package with great price tag. Mileage was also as per my requirement. Pros- bike handling is superb. Engine performance is awesome and AVG is great. Comfortable on good roads. Cons- rear suspension could have been better or softer. Headlight through is not at all good need aux lamp. Horn is like scooty.

- V good bikePremium build, starts from 2.5 to 4 lakh. Price increase with warranty and range. I chose for few reasons 1) hill control 2) regent breaking 3) aesthetics) Premium build 4) Indian start up 5) very low centre of gravity 6) sticks to road due to heavy weight and traction control. Very comfortable, bit costly but worth it, service is good. They visit home to serve by taking 10 rs per km. Low maintenance, shockers are very good, load of safety features, hill hold , very practical feature, park assist, regent breaks, traction control. Daily ride is minimum 30 km, saves petrol if you ride more, home charging facility. For touring one way 170 km is ok, to charge and return back. Very economical, though initial investment is more, but if you ride heavily you will find it cheap in long run. Warranty for recon plus ( rs 4 lakh) goes to 8 lakh km or 8 years by paying 45000 extra, Without that its 5 year or 5 lakh km.Read More
