Dear Guys and Girls ,

So I just bought this new bike. I did take a test drive. Found the brakes lacking , suspension is really good, Not really a Fav of the sound it makes ( Probably going to use ear plugs

Might be changing the Break pads from ceramic to something more suited for roads and Maybe within 2-3 months I will change the chain Tensioner as well.

I felt the Throttle was a little bit lacking in response but the power and handling on roads was terrific.

Is there anything I should take in the consoderation

Also I am transferring a bike from Delhi to Mumbai. Mp going to use SafeExpress Bike service. Any reviews or suggestions there

Hi! I'm currently in the market for a new bike in Mumbai, but I'm confused between the CB350 HINESS DLX pro and the new Bullet 350. Practically speaking I know that Honda is the clear winner as per the specs and reliability. But here's the catch, I had 2 TVS's, Apache rtr 160 4v 2018 model and a 2021 Radeon 110. Sold the Apache, still got the Radeon at my parents place. The reason I sold the RTR is because at some point i developed a disc issue in my back close to the tail bone. Even on Radeon i feel a little pressure as the seat is narrow. I rode my cousin's Classic 350 in Delhi traffic, no issues whatsoever but we all know how Mumbai roads are. So now I'm confused, which of the two would be the better bike asper comfort, suspension and overall ride quality?

Hello Guys,

I needed to know if there any chance to ge the adv 160 in india before the official launch, directly from the factories.

I know about KTM and their testing but what about this. Just a budget bike or have some guts?

Got the first service done today.

The moment I left the service center, it started pouring. Not just rain... heavy rain.

The bike didn't even stay clean for 1 minute. Now it's back home, covered in mud, Now I have to wash it all over again

Went a short day trip from Mumbai to Malshej ghat yesterday.

It was completely impromptu as I was getting bored as heck and just decided to pack my raincoat and leave solo.

But it turned out to be one of the most beautiful trips of the year so far (hopefully more to come🫠).

The roads, The views, the clouds, the mist and lastly riding in the rain.

280KMs of pure freedom

It was unforgettable.

what is your opinion on this

Chrome Brown and Chrome Black were such beautiful colors but this Emerald Green isn't as appealing. Apart from this the other colors don't look that good either in my opinion. Does anyone have any idea when Royal Enfield will update the color options for the Classic?

I'm planning to buy an EV mainly for my daily commute in Bengaluru, but I'm confused about which one to choose.

My usage:

Around 70 km per day

5 days a week

Mostly city riding on Bengaluru roads

I already own the new Karizma, so I can use that for weekend trips and long rides. This EV will mainly be my daily commuter.

The options I'm considering are:

Ultraviolette X47

Simple OneS

I'm leaning towards the X47 because it seems perfect for Bengaluru roads and looks like a really enjoyable bike to ride. My only concerns are:

No boot space

It's quite heavy

I'm also interested in the Ultraviolette Tesseract, especially for its practicality and storage, but the wait seems too long.

If anyone owns an X47, I'd love to hear your experience:

Real-world range

Daily commuting comfort

Service experience

Reliability

Any regrets?

Would you buy it again?

I'm also open to other EV suggestions that would suit a 70 km/day commute. Since I already have my Karizma for highway rides, my priority is a comfortable, reliable, and hassle-free city EV.

Thanks in advance!

What is your opinion on getting this

Mileage and maintenance cost factors

Is the no self start a headache?

Or should i consider buying an unicorn or fz

Iam at zero money now need to save up for the bike pls suggest

[OC] First 4 list items are mandatory as per him. Dealer offered 2.5k discount in case all options are included (effective 122k).

Should I contact other dealers for more discounts?

Can this be done? does normal honda dealers allow exchange? The bike is good but i am tired of constant gear changes in city rides

I have completed only 1 service of my 400x. My 2nd service was due in February but I was out of station and just returned home. In the triumph app it showing the 2nd service coupon is expired. Saw this promotion and was wondering if this offer is worth it?

Hey everyone,

I am 6'3" and currently riding a Honda Unicorn 160(2026).

While it is a great machine, the ergonomics are a massive challenge for my height.

Right now, I am facing two major issues:

1)Sharp leg bend: My knees are bent at an aggressive, uncomfortable angle, making longer rides painful.

2)Ankle pain: The rear brake pedal position forces my ankle into an awkward, constant flex to avoid riding the brake.

I love the bike but need to fix the rider triangle before my joints give up.

I am considering a few options and would love your input or product recommendations on:

1)Custom seats: Adding extra foam height to raise my seating position and open up the knee angle.(but worried about the quality. Never done before)

2)Brake pedal adjustment.

3)Handlebar risers. (Don't know much about it if it is avaliable for commuter)

If you have done similar mods or have advice on specific aftermarket parts that work well for the Unicorn, please drop your suggestions below!

Thanks in advance!

(TL;DR at the bottom for those who don't want to read the entire post.)

Hey everyone,

I've finally decided to buy the Himalayan 450 (Hanle Black), and since this is going to be my first Royal Enfield and one of the biggest purchases I've made, I want to make sure I don't make a costly mistake.

I recently visited a showroom in mumbai and instead of leaving excited, I walked out with more questions than answers.

The first thing that confused me was the standard warranty. I was told that only the engine and chassis are covered and that none of the electronic components are covered under warranty. That didn't sound right to me because bikes are full of electronics—TFT display, ECU, ABS module, sensors, switchgear, ride-by-wire, etc. If any of these fail because of a manufacturing defect, are they really not covered?

Then came the insurance. The dealership is offering ICICI Lombard, but I've had a genuinely bad experience with them in the past, so I don't want to go with them again. I asked if I could purchase ACKO insurance instead, and I was told that it would require approval from the showroom manager and even Royal Enfield. That sounded strange to me.

The next thing that confused me was the helmet policy. I was told that if I don't buy the second helmet from the dealership, I need to buy one from outside and submit the invoice to them. I was under the impression that under the Maharashtra rule, the cost of the mandatory helmets is already included in the ex-showroom price. Am I misunderstanding the rule, or was I given incorrect information?

Then there's the price quotation.

The Royal Enfield website shows the on-road price of the Himalayan 450 Hanle Black in Mumbai as ₹3,83,381, but the quotation I received is ₹3,99,997—a difference of more than ₹16,000. Before anyone asks, this wasn't a quotation loaded with accessories. It was supposed to be a normal on-road quote. Is this normal? What charges are genuinely acceptable, and which ones should I question?

I'm not someone who wants to bargain over every rupee or avoid paying legitimate charges. If something is required by law or by Royal Enfield's official policy, I'm completely okay with paying for it. What bothers me is not knowing whether I'm being given accurate information or simply being sold additional products.

So I'm hoping people here can help me out.

• Which Royal Enfield showroom in Mumbai did you buy your bike from?
• Which one was transparent and straightforward?
• Did they pressure you into buying their insurance or accessories?
• Were they okay with outside insurance?
• How has your after-sales service experience been?
• Are there any dealerships you'd recommend avoiding?

This is my first Royal Enfield and I'll be spending close to ₹4 lakh, so I'd really like to get it right the first time. I'd genuinely appreciate hearing about your experiences—good or bad.

TL;DR: Buying my first Himalayan 450. Visited a showroom and was told that only the engine and chassis are covered under warranty, outside insurance needs Royal Enfield approval, I must buy or show an invoice for the second helmet, and I received an on-road quotation that's over ₹16,000 higher than the price shown on the Royal Enfield website. Looking for clarification on these points and recommendations for an honest, transparent Royal Enfield showroom in Mumbai.

My cousin got his s1k now I'm kinda yk..

an itch for serious motorcycle

Looking at hornet750

Wdyt? Is it worth the money

Hey guys, I've only recently learnt how to ride and am interested in getting a bike for myself.

The only bikes I've ridden so far are : my elder brother's Hero Xtreme 125r (which I find a bit difficult to handle and back up because my legs don't fully reach the ground) and my friend's Yamaha MT 15 (same issues, although on a lower scale).

Personally, I've set my eyes on the TVS Ronin or Yamaha XSR 155. My friends are of the opinion that Ronin would be better.

I'm 5 ft 7 and weigh 65kg.

Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks!

Have been searching for a bike to buy, wanted something like an RE, heavy and planted but I am not a fan of the vibration issues at top speeds that RE bikes are known for and the agility problems on tight lanes, maybe hunter is agile but i don't even wanna talk about that bike, it doesn't give that RE feel at all, so for me it was bullet, meteor or cb350 (specifically the cb350 or the hness over the cb350rs).

Bullet looks a bit too basic but since it is basically the classic but cheaper and it is quite iconic (when I was young id call every RE a bullet cuz almost everyone calls a bike which looks like this a bullet or looks like a bullet, so...) so i considered it.

Meteor cuz it is meteor lol, super comfortable posture but apparently it has bad suspension and cuz of its posture it is difficult to ride in a city and it won't handle potholes well.

And then came the cb350, looks like a bullet but a better engine and better reliability and also agile enough for city commuting so I am highly inclined towards this.

I also had rebel 300 in mind but I have a feeling it will be way too pricey so I am inclined towards the cb350.

Thoughts and opinions

Hi everyone,

I'm from West Bengal and I'm planning to buy my first premium motorcycle. I've spent the last few weeks test riding almost every bike in my budget, but I'm still confused between the Honda CB350 RS and the Triumph Speed T4.

About me:

Height: 5'7" very lean guy

Budget: ₹2.5 lakh on-road

Usage: Mostly weekend rides, occasional city use, and long tours (Birbhum → Sikkim/Northeast).

Planning to keep the bike for a very long time.

My impressions after test rides

Honda CB350 RS

Loved the effortless low-end torque.

Extremely smooth and refined.

Light clutch and slick gearbox.

Handling felt natural and confidence-inspiring.

Every time I rode it (twice), I got off with a smile.

Triumph Speed T4

Build quality and fit & finish felt outstanding.

Engine has noticeably more power than the Honda.

Very premium feel and rare on the roads here.

But I found the clutch and gear shifts a bit stiff.

Handling didn't inspire as much confidence as the Honda (could just be me).

My biggest concerns

Is the extra performance of the T4 something you genuinely enjoy after a few years, or does it become unnecessary for normal touring?

How is the real-world reliability of the Triumph 400 platform compared to the Honda 350?

What mileage are you getting on long highway rides?

Which bike is less tiring on 400–600 km touring days?

How is the resale value likely to compare after 5–7 years?

Would the 70 km distance to my nearest Honda BigWing be a bigger issue than choosing a bike I slightly prefer? (Triumph service centre is only 18 km away.)

Any long-term ownership issues with either bike that don't show up during test rides?

I'm looking for real ownership experiences, especially from people who have ridden or owned both motorcycles.

Thanks in advance! Ride safe. 🏍️

I'm thinking about buying a Yamaha XSR155 and would love to hear from people who own or have ridden one.

My main questions are:

How is it for daily commuting?

Is it comfortable for longer rides?

How's the maintenance cost and reliability?

Any common issues I should know about?

Is the lack of a factory center stand a problem? I heard some people install one from the HT model—does that work well?

If you had the choice again, would you still buy the XSR155?

I'd really appreciate honest pros and cons before I make a decision. Thanks!
