Simple engine built. Easy self maintenance. Drum brakes which gives smooth stop like ABS. Seat is too comfortable for family. Matured driving style. Accident free mind set. Rhythmic Sound. Kick start gives a warm up for drive.

Best Features: Mileage, driving comfort, powered twinspark engine, owner friendly maintenance

Pros: Simple powerful pure mechanical engineered

Cons: Missing self start

I got her four days back and the bike is unique from all other RE, the mileage is pretty sad, around 30 to 35 but i think its still a decent one for a 411 engine. About the performance, its so comfortable riding and the handling is perfect, but Í guess high traffic cities like Bangalore, Chennai will have tough time with this beast. You could blindly go for it if you are a tourer or if you reside in hill area.

Best Features: Comfort and the new LS10 engine

Pros: The sound and the handling

Cons: Mileage can still be made better.

I am M. Rakesh Reddy from Hyderabad.. I have booked Royal Enfield Himalayan on March 17th and I was the 1st to book in SVR Motors and Engineering showroom..instead of that yesterday I got an SMS saying that as per requested by you we have postponed your delivery date by 4 days..which I dint so i called them up..they started telling due to some system error you got that message..I said ok and hang up..then I got doubt.. and when up to showroom saw that they have delivered the motorcycle to some one else instead of me..now I asked them they stared telling some stories like he booked on line before it launched...which never happen...then I told them I ll take matter to higher management...and I went now after 2 hours they called me and told we have a bike available for you... Now the real problem started they have given me a defective motorcycle...in which battery icon is not going off even after engine is on...and they know that there was a problem with this bike still thy gave me the bike..now today (23/4/2016) the bike is not starting at all... Now they have torn it down in parts to search for the defect and finally solved the issue but I am not happy they way they did it the new bike is now full of scratches on the black frame of the bike where battery goes...and I don't think i can take that bike for long rides after seeing what happen with the bike and I am not even confident on the Himalayan bike any more...I even have images of the bike when they opened half engine....and took out all wiring of my bike.....

Best Features: Looks are the best

Pros: Good for off road

Cons: Poor customer service

It's all about how you maintain your speed, for me very smooth in 40 kmph and top speed is 135-140 kmph, well comfortable while riding. many people worried about mileage, this a long drive bull, so drive in 40 kmph, you will good mileage around 45 kmpl and for 350cc mileage is better. royal to ride this bull.

Best Features: Riding experience

Pros: Smooth, comfortable, mileage, pick up, style.

Cons: Bullet thump sound is low

I am 6'2" young man from Junagadh district gujarat ,just bought 350 classic from junagadh outlet. It is a beautiful bike. I have ash one. when I read review before buying i disappointed about bike quality but when i ride, I never find any problem even a small one. Bike vibrates a bit between 50-60 kmph then after 60 it goes like butter (I don't care about it and it isn't a big issue). I didn't find any loosen part(review said about loosen bolt ) Bike milage is about 40-45 asper driving i drove in mixed traffic(327km/8lit still not in reserve) Great Performance ,metal body,and its enfield Follow user manual ,drive safe,and enjoy yours bull.Definitely u won't disappointed....just buy it.

Best Features: Metal body, build quality, looks, and best one is mileage (327km /8 litre still not in reserve mode)

Pros: Almost every thing. Metal body, looks,thump....many more....

Cons: Fuel gauge (no need), brakes should be improved

I was always fascinating whenever I could hear or see a Bullet 500 on the road. Yes, it was my childhood dream to own one of them. Ride of this bike is very comfortable and easy, Handling is also pretty impressive as it holds very well on roads. There is a little issue with self start but I have no problem with that so far. As I am a college going student so, this bike keeps me out of the crowd. Fuel economy of this bike is okay. My dad told me to buy another bike as at this price tag you will get many options. But My love for thumb is at its peak so, I chose this as a my style statement. On specs front, it is powered by same 499cc engine. For long rides it is not a good option as it does not give desirable performance. Low fuel warning is there in the instrument panel but, it is not reliable and even don't show you exact status of fuel in fuel tank.

Best Features: Vast Service Network

Pros: Good Design and build quality, Looks and Style, Value For Money

Cons: Absence of 6th gear, Rattling Sound, No fuel gauge

I have been using this muscular bike from the last two years. Before that I had used almost all 100-150 cc bikes including Suzuki Samurai, Yamaha RX100, Bajaj Kawasaki etc. over the last 10 years. But having this bike is really a different experience. Friends, if you need a bike just for racing, then this is not the motorcycle you are looking for. However, it has quite big figures on the chart, but its gearing ration and weight is made such that the bike is for cruising, not for racing. The machine can take you all the way to 120km/hr (company claims 100 km/hr), but stopping the motorcycle is a big problem. Paint quality is good but requires frequent wax in order to keep the bike shinning. As far as its price is concerned, it is not that that much pricey if we see its specifications and features. The low ground clearance is the weak point where silencer and stand touches ground while crossing tough roads.

Best Features: Powerful Engine

Pros: Stunning looks, powerful engine, good build quality, excellent handling, comfortable for long rides

Cons: Low ground clearance

I am the proud owner of Royal Enfield Electra 350. Proud because whenever I go on road with my machine, every eye got stuck on me and my ride. It earned me fame and make me proud..:). On the serious note, its a bike for cruising not racing. So, If you want it for racing purpose then this is not the bike for you mate. But I am not regretting that it won't go to high speed, the problem is, if it take you all the way to 120Km/hr, stopping the bike become issue for you. The engine is vibration free till 80kmph and when you start approaching 90-100, you may feel some vibrations but still it would provide you stable ride. The braking system is powerful enough that serve the purpose well. I did not face any brake pad issue. Its seats are not so comfy but it is able to provide comfortable long drives as the seating posture is straight. I too have doubts regarding its comfort and weight before purchase, but now I am happy for my decision. I enjoy every km I travel on this bull.

Best Features: Style and performance

Pros: Appearance, Reliability, Status, Performance, Comfort

Cons: Heavy Weight

Royal Enfield was my childhood love as I used to get amaze by its powerful sound. So when I got enrolled to college, I bought Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350. Its looks and sound is the main reason I bought it. Its seating position is comfortable but it is not suitable for short riders. Back rest for the pillion rider allow pain free ride on long distance to the back passenger. Yeah, handling in city traffic is a bit tiring but its braking system is really good. Suspension is smooth and it gives me 35 kmpl average on city which is okay for me. As fuel mileage is never a issue for me I just want to own my dream Royal Enfield.

Best Features: Appearance and Seating Posture

Pros: Style, Performance, Comfortable Ride

Cons: Mileage...

It is a very stylish bike and it has got a dominating style which seems to have a bold look on the road compared to other bikes. It offers a pretty good riding position thanks to the ergonomically designed handlebar. The huge 20 litres fuel tank, LED tail lamps, digital meter console and retractable foot pegs are the other impressive features which proves to be a good competitor for other bikes. The only drawback is that it has fragile indicator lights. Overall the bike is very good. It may not have a huge followers like for Pulsar but is liked by people who want a classic vintage ride experience.

Best Features: Fuel efficient & Stylish

Pros: Huge fuel tank, comfortable seat for pillion and rider, fuel efficient, stylish

Cons: Fragile indicator lights

RE Bullet 500 gives impressive performance and also offers a great amount of comfort on long journeys. According to me, it is probably the most affordable 500cc bike available in India. It has modern features like front disc brake and electric start. It is very responsive and powerful as compared to its younger sibling. The engine works good and gear changes are also very smooth. The seat is comfortable and backache problem is not possible. The build quality is amazing and its retro looks is very dashing and eye-catching. The front disc brake works pretty well, but the rear drum needs to be seriously improved. On the other hand, the bike lacks tachometer and trip meter which are the important features of instrument console.

Best Features: Build Quality & Economical

Pros: Looks & style, vast service network, amazing build quality, economical, comfortable riding position

Cons: Absence of 6th gear, lack of tachometer and trip meter

I got my bullet few months ago and now I have covered over 25000 kms. I must say, its a pure pleasure to ride even in the heavy traffic of Delhi. Handling the bike is not a big issue as some people think because of its built and weight. It cuts through traffic with ease. The only problem I feel in the bike is its battery, it is giving me problem while I self start it and mud guard which sometimes make noise. As far as looks, none can stop admiring the machine for its ultra masculinity, As I am the one who fall in love with its looks.

Best Features: Apperance and Style

Pros: Looks, Power, Comfort, Style

Cons: Mileage, Noisy Mud Guard, Battery

It is really a great experience to have this bike. The acceleration is un-matched, it reaches up to 60 kmph under 7-9 seconds. The riding position is amazing if you want to go for long trips. The pillion seat is also very comfortable which is quite helpful in long journeys. As far as design is concerned, it is praiseworthy and impressive. The company has done a great paint job. Fuel economy is perfect and its pick-up is also very note-worthy. The engine performance is good, but needs attention towards the oil seals. Gearbox and clutch leakages needs to be repaired. Lack of fuel gauge is another missing feature in this bike. They need to add disc brakes for the rear wheels, it can boost confidence in the rider while having long journeys.

Best Features: Good Pick-up and Handling

Pros: Stylish, comfortable pillion seat, perfect paint job, good pick-up, good handling, perfect for off road riding

Cons: Bad gearbox, loose oil-seals, expensive, lacks trip meter and tachometer, no fuel gauge, absence of rear disc brakes

Buying Enfield Classic 350 is one of the best decision I have made during my college days. I fall in love with it the day I took first ride. Initially, I was frightened to kick start the motorcycle but it started at the first attempt. I can't compare my motorcycle with any other sports bike as its looks are amazing, performance is great and most of all it is an fuel efficient machine. Only problem I faced (which is actually faced by pillion passenger) is discomfort during long journey. Periodical service is the prime thing you should take care of.

Best Features: Appearance I must Say

Pros: Fuel efficient, Great ergonomics, Powerful engine, Stunning looks, Easier electric and kick start

Cons: Rusting while rainy season, Vibration below 60 kmph, Gear shifting problem
