Bro I am more of a car guy but this year my wife demanded Royal Enfield Classic 350 as her birthday gift. I booked it over MIY with all available accessories and yesterday got the delivery. She is really happy and she drove it for almost 3 hours straight….that smile on her face while she was driving….priceless 😊😊
@@oshoosho8466 hearing this for so many years but RR has proven itself from the launch of Meteor 350. Competition's best motorcycle in classic segment has sales similar to Meteor only.
@@uditchandani Today no other Motorcycle is anywhere close to RE. But competition is gradually rising. I find RE Overpriced. It has to offer better Features for same Price. This will definitely eat its fat Profit Margins, hence the Stock Value too😎 I'm not saying that RE will fail, but not a good idea to hold the Stocks for Long Term.
@@oshoosho8466 competition is rising no doubt but the market is also expanding. More people are buying 350 cc+ segment than ever. The only time competition was worrying when Honda launched it's Highness which was a superior product buy RE came back with its Classic reborn and has never looked back.
Finally someone has said good about the Old bullets and I own a 1996 standard 350. The age of the bike is 28 years and 4 months and I'm 27😅. I absolutely love old bullets and that is why I bought it 2nd hand and restored it completely back to its glory with golden painter pinstripes, original replica monograms and decals. It gets a lot of attention of people on the road specially uncles and middle aged mens and they don't hesitate to talk to me about it. Every time I park it somewhere in a public place someone is definitely checking it out. Next month I'm going to Zanskar and ladakh trip on my 96 and this is going to be my dream ride.
Yup, I agree with you cent per cent... At 56 I bought RE HUNTER just to satisfy my emotions.... And, most probably a trip to Leh-Ladakh very soon... But, dear Bulu, I need your good wishes all my way.... Keep up the good work and keep educating us.... Thank you
Bulubhai, I got my first RE bullet in 1967, the tire rims had written on it Made in England, when i kicked it , it nahed like a horse, this sound came from the compression exit rubber tube which was pinched flat from the company. The Amp meter told me when the piston was on the Top Dead End (tde) by pressing the compression release tiny lever, I kicked and the familiar drumming would start. The manul contact breaker had a capacitor which got shorted out ofter, the contacts had gap adjusting plates which got loose. Had later on got a rocket thin Silencer which had sound that 3 colonies would hear me pass by., this silencer had a shark like fin built in at the end which pointed upwards, like half an arrow end. BULUBHAI you had to be my age so as to enjoy it, it was not just a head turned but the traffic looked at the bike as though it was an aninal from another planet ! My color was metalic orange yellow honey gold with mudguards and frame Black, later on got it to metalic military green, seat too. 😅
In long run RE bikes add more memories compared to others. Own Bullet 500 carburettor version since 2014 still works n looks same it did 10 years ago. Loving it.
@@spcomics7006 Yes. After initial free service period I had serviced it outside and mechanic of the garage has became good friend of mine... RE authorised service centres are pathetic.
I was not really bothered about cult or emotion etc. when I purchased Standard 350 in 2016. My weight remained within 95-100 KGs and I needed just a "good motocycle" that can offer me a sense of security while travelling at 50-70 KMPH. Also I dislike those plastic egg shells on a vehicle which looks like a false show off to me. Hence I settled for a all metal motorcycle. After 7 years of usage, I can vouch for its stability and reiability. Plus, Standard 350 renders a 42 KMPL mileage even in city rides. Bhai, bewaja koi emotion ziada der tikta nahi. RE is really doing a good and honest job.
Since 2009, I've been riding Royal Enfield motorcycles, starting with the iron cast model. I then transitioned to the Thunderbird AVL and later acquired the Electra twinspark in 2016. While the older Bullets posed numerous challenges and issues, the emotional connection remained strong. However, the twinspark model has proven to be a reliable companion with fewer issues to date. Interestingly, when I visit my mechanic, they often dismiss the newer BS6 models as not worth the investment anymore. Despite trying various other bikes like the Pulsar, Unicorn 150, CBR 250, and most recently, the Suzuki V Strom 250, my bond with Royal Enfield remains unwavering. It's not just a motorcycle; it's an emotion that I cherish deeply.
I own RE Meteor 350. Just 1 month old. It's for daily office commute. Every day I need to travel 100 kms. Need something strong and comfortable.Speed is not a priority for me.Ownwd Bajaj Avenger 220 previously.Had a lot of electronic issues. Forced to sell that bike within a year. I hope the RE will be a reliable one.
In 2006, I purchased a Hero Honda Super Splendor 125 cc and rode it for 16 years. In 2022 I bought RE Classic reborn 350 and I'm a very Happy customer of RE now😊
I bought Bullet350b after test riding it. Going into 40's very soon i needed a comfortable and gentle sounding and music to my ears. Not regretting one bit of it. Riding for past 6 months with a content ❤️
I own an interceptor, since I was waiting for a long time for a twin, I purchased it as soon as it was launched,(1st batch). I love my bike, but my expereince has been really really bad, some or the other things gets screwed up especially alot of electrical issues. Iv towed my bike 5 times so far in my trips. I have to think alot before taking out for my trips. No matter what the feeling of riding it offers if it doesn't give a piece of mind, what's the point. I am looking for an ADV, but no matter how good the new himalayan is , I am NEVER going to buy another Royal Enfield.
Great video.. I am 39 year old now in US & just brought Intercepter 650 Baker Express last year.. growing up two of my uncles had Royal Enfield Classic 500. When my parents brought me Hero Honda Passion as 17yr old back in Pune back in 2002.. Royal Enfield was a dream bike..Thanks for great video!!
I was a huge Royal Enfield fan, always been keen to explore a RE. I used to ogle at an RE even when I was in my car. But I gave myself time, I took test rides of RE interceptor, GT650, hunter and I went to other brands as well. Finally, I concluded that my needs will be best fulfilled by the Triumph Scrambler 400. It’s also a big value for money and I have fallen in love with the fact that the bike gives me so much confidence on road. I don’t have regrets of not buying an RE, as said in the video, the emotion was there but the feeling has somehow gotten compromised due to certain changes in government policies and modernisation.
Call me fanboy but my first bike was a pulsar 150 dtsi (2012). Rode it for less than a year and sold it for a sprawling new Electra 350 (2013). Had to part it due to personal reason after 5 years. Had the best experience. In 2017 end, situation impoved and bought pulsar 220. Within 6 months, sold it and brought NS 200 (BS4). But the feel of RE kept haunting me and sold it in less than 2 years and bought a BS4 Classic 350. Coming from NS 200, the 350 seemed under-powered. So post 2nd COVID lockdown (late 2021), sold it off and bought myself a pre-worshipped Thunderbird 500 (BS3- 2016). I love this beast every moment and happen to grin whenever I ride it.
Bullu, question for a long haul rider like you: How many REs do you see on the highways? In the cities yes. RE has a loyal city customer base. About 30 to 40 percent are repeat buyers. But as a performance oriented bike, much needs to be done to refine RE. Having said so, RE still has a strong road performance. And the way they market their brand and their showrooms are just miles ahead of their competition.
I previously owned a CBR 250R and now for the last 2.5 years owning a Dominar 400 UG. I was not at all a fanboy of Royal Enfield. But gradually developed a liking for the brand, especially when they upped their quality. Now it came to a position that I want to own a Royal Enfield. That's how much my liking and desire to own a Royal Enfield has become off late. Since I am a person who does long touring, hence finally made up my mind to buy a Himalayan 450 at the end of this year. Then I can proudly say that I own a Royal Enfield. Just waiting for the tubeless spoke wheels to come for the bike. 🤞
The emotional connect, yeah i see that in my dad, i gifted him a 2018 Classic 350 BS4 after i started earning, and he loves it. RE used to be the fastest and most dreamed of bike of his time, he loves bikes but never purchased one due to responsibilities, so i decided to do it on his behalf. and now after 5 years, i surprised him again by adding a red rooster rumbler exhaust. and unlike the typical RE jargon this one is pretty reliable.
What is the point of this video? Every eoyal renfield fanboy memorises these points after breakfast everyday to win any logical arguments when they understand they are losing..
I was Skeptical because People buy RE bikes due to emotions. Now, I own an Interceptor 650 and I can attest RE bikes are not just bikes, they are a different kind of feeling.
@arvindaries87 what kind of motorcycle Engineering you feel it doesn't have !?! It has tremendous engineering techniques,that's why people still use the old RE classic or classic 350 even 30 plus years old.
You nailed it .... Great 👍 i am over 59 year old and have been riding bike for over44years now , was bitten by the ' Bullet ' bug in my early teens on a borrowed army disposal RE. Decades later could afford first RE Electra then second RE classic 350. And yes yes yes... it's emotion , slow speed , Dhuk dhuk dhuk,brotherhood, cult and lot more. Thanks for voicing it , Good wishes from Bhopal ( MP )
Hello dear, you are really a bike lover. I have seen you driving big bikes in your videos. I am 60 year old man but all through my life had this dream of riding RE. Now i will have Meteor 350, 2 months later after i retire.
Wonderful video Bulu Bhai I owned so many RE's First one classic 500 (miss it the most), Himalayan, meteor 350, interceptor and now the interceptor anniversary limited edition
After waiting 47 years l bought Thunderbird 350 and last week did my first every 224 km ride with wife. It was a amazing trip, dream to go ladhak some day with her....
@@DavidSenna57New video going today evening is for people like you, especially like you. Those who degrade somebody else’s emotion because you yourself are insecure about something.

I was a kid when one of my father's friend came in a military bullet to my home. My father took a ride with me seated on the fuel tank, a short but sweet ride, which gave a definite spark to me about the royal experience of a bullet. I was a proud bajaj chethak kid till that moment, papa ka bajaj... hamara bajaj 😉 When i was in high-school, my uncle took a machismo. He was 6feet2 and the way it looked when he rides it make me fall head over heals for the machine. Not only in movies, people in real life also makes deep impressions my friend! The love for RE strengthened in me. I took my first bullet 350 in 2007, which was a 1992 model second hand vehicle, single owner well maintained. For the next 5 years i lived a royal life with my Bullet. It gave me lots of wonderful moments in my life. At that time there we very less bullets on the road and when a fellow bullet owner meet you anywhere there used to a lot of discussions about the vehicles. In 2012 when i sold my buddy and flew abroad, i was sad to let him go. Now, after returning to India last year, i took the new Bullet 350 Maroon, definitely my man is keeping me happy and safe. My passion for bullet stays high as ever. PS: I took a test drive of all new RE models and wanted to take Interceptor 650, but came back to Bullet 350 since it offered the best pillion experience to my wife. Period. 😁
From Bangalore. I cancelled Bullet booking and went for Honda CB200X. Vehicle Purpose: to swiftly move around the city, good FE, cheap to maintain, fun to ride, look special. Why did I reject RE Classic? - to expensive for the value of adds to me. It's very heavy for modern city traffic conditions. For me it's a good Holiday bike. To drive away from the city for the weekend. Up to 150 kms from City. Longer than that, Cars are better. I don't want to spend 3 L for a weekend bike , which I'm sure i don't drive away from City every week.
@@niranjana7786. I went home for a month. Bike was kept in parking. It even rained 3/4 times when I was away. The bike started fine. It's a light petrol engine with not so much compression. It will easily start
RE Electra is my first bike I still own, and I bought (2014) it especially for going to Ladakh. It was my dream. I completed my dream in just 6 months after buying my bike. After watching this video, i felt so nostalgic and all those events came to my mind.
Actually royal Enfield bullet used to have exclusivity till 2015 but after that its more common, chapri students and workers doodhwala are purchasing and riding bullet with modification that makes us shift to either dominar bajaj or other company like honda CB 350 highness that is good alternative then RE
Bulu bhai... When I first met you in Guwahati, I owned a Classic 350 which I took to Ladakh. And now after owning it for 8 years now I own an Interceptor 650. I love both the motorcycles. But to be honest I did a 33 days trip to Ladakh from Guwahati & back.. Apart from my meter cable, I didn't face one single problem. And I must say you have always been an inspiration, I started doing motorcycle rides by watching and getting inspiration from you. Thank you 🙏🏻
Bullu bhai thank you for this video, It was a dream to buy a Royal Enfield Bullet just a few days back I bought my new generation RE Bullet 350 on my late mom's birthday on 6th of June 2024, just came from a long solo ride in a remote area I can't tell you the sence feeling it gave me and I stumbled upon this video just after the ride. I saw your first video on your Harley Davidson long back, you inspired me, Working hard for what I want in life, aspiring and manifesting my future. I will be back on this comment in the future to recall this feeling. I am wishing to this universe that everyone should get what they aspire in life and best health to their family. Thanks Bullu Bhai ❤
I got into riding after seeing lot of bikers riding their royal Enfield on Independence day ride in year 2014 Bangalore. I got very much inspired from that emotion and bought my RE Classic 350 in 2015 and since then n till date enjoying each and every ride on my bike.. now added one more to my collection.. Himalayan 450.. Lot more travel to come on these bikes..❤
Hero Xtreme 2013 user. No nonsense bike. Nowadays maintenance is just yearly oil change, nothing else. Still able to do 115 km/hr top speed solo & 110 km/hr with pillion (Same speed when bought in 2013). Ridde friend`s BS3 himalayan extensively. Very good bike but then low mileage, Cone set issues, service bill more that his car`s annual maintenance. New gen J series bikes are good but not worth spending that fortune. Brother in law bought Meteor 350 but showroom delivery experience was very bad like bike lelo & futo yaha se. Further we did 500 kms touring ride. Bike struggles to go above 110 km/hr with pillion even though comfort levels are good compared to my bike. Test rode New gen himalayan. Power is crazy & bike do give big bike feel but not usable for family man. Loved meteor very much but felt not worth spending 2.9L OTR (Fully accessorized) if it still struggle to go beyond 110 km/hr with pillion & equipment levels are not that good based on what similar priced segment bikes offering. Accessories prices are ridiculous too, Test rode maverick / HD x 440. Looking at hardware its offering (Healthy torque, Best suspension set up, 6 speed GB with slipper clutch & list goes on), Maverick it good bike but for 6ft guy, that bike looks tiny. So search for prefect upgrade still continues.
2015 unicorn 160 user, done 60000km and only maintanence is oil change every 3500km. 50+ mileage even now. Great experience with the bike but now looking for an upgrade and after extensive research and test rides, finally zeroed in on the Maverick and booked it, mid variant. Great vfm and I'm 5'7, so suits me perfect. For your height scrambler 400x or huscvarna 401 or even KTM adv might suit
I don't like RE bikes... but i like their stocks .. I somehow think many people now-a-days prefer other bikes and the cult following of RE is slowly missing... Especially with so many 400CC bikes in the market now..
I don't have a royal Enfield but definitely want to own one , I recently got a Karizma XMR and it has some initial issues and problems which I shared with everyone but I did not made a mess of it and shout loud to get attention , Idea was just to solve my problem , understand it so that I can help other to fix the same problem if they have in their bikes logo ko paitence sikhana chahiye thanks bulu bhai
Being a RE owner for 9 years and a owner in the past to, I do not think it is the exhaust note. The reason is more like nostalgia, seat comfort, milage for a big bike, road presence and definitely the torque....
My initial riding days was with a classic 500. I initially did love the bike because of the thump and looks. I kept riding it and started going for longer rides. This is when I got disillusioned with the bike as it began to struggle on highways. Mind you, this is my personal feel as vibrations were too much for me beyond 60 kmph and at idle. Continued riding it as I could not afford a new bike. Fell out of this obsession with the "feeling" and "character" of the bike. In fact, to me it felt like the bike was telling me how to ride and not riding the way I wanted it to. If I want to cruise at 100 kmph on three-lane highways I should be able to. While it did cruise comfortable below 60 kmph, I felt suffocated. And this bike just completely let me down to the point where I would dread the numb feeling I got in my fingers after even small rides. This coupled with repeated fuel pump issues, horrible quality of parts and very abysmal cold starts made me move on to different bikes . I can understand and empathise with people who want character but implore people to open their minds and let go of that "feeling" as they are missing out on many more refined bikes. Just my two cents. At the end of the day, doesn't really matter what bike you ride, so long as you are able to enjoy the ride. Excellent analysis as always Bulu bhai.
Well put... Only those with an open mind,will learn and evolve. Others will keep falling in the trap of "character", "feel" etc. According to me, RE stands for absolutely pathetic Engineering.
*My Royal Enfield Story* Hello bulu bhai.... I am 1989 Born. Jab samaj aane lagi tab ek bike dikhti thi jisko sirf kuch limited log own karte the... Mere papa ke paas bajaj scooter thi lekin unka bhi dream tha ke kabhi wo bhi bullet kharide...par jimmedariyo ki vajah se wo ho nahi paya... Jab mere 10th birthday ke din mujhe wo baat pata chali toh curiosity aur badhne lagi ki aisa kya hai iss bike me ke sirf kuch log hi own karte hai fir jab main job karne laga tab maine new unicorn kharidi aur papa bhi same bike own karte the jo unhone 2nd hand kharidi thi... 2019 me Ek din wo chori ho gayi... And ab wo koi budget bike lene ki soch rahe the... Par maine unko meri unicorn bike use karne ko kaha aur maine ek bike book ki jo thi unki uss waqt ki favourite RoyalEnfield standard 350 ab self start ka jamana aa chuka tha par mujhe wo unka wish pura karna tha jo maine kiya... Age ke hisab se unhone jyada use nahi kiya wo aaj bhi unicorn hi chalate hai but wo khushi jo unke aankho me thi... Its priceless.. Happy too share with u
I rode royal enfield first time in ladakh. From leh to pangong. The rode was tougher then in 2016. And the bike hold up great. The handling, comfort, power everything was great. Royal Enfield made me an adventurer. Now i own a scram 411. Had few short comings-in it in the beginning but it’s getting better day by day. Happy RE owner. Service and quality should improve.
I own RE HUNTER 350 & RE CLASSIC 350 REBORN, Besides i also own a SUZUKI GIXXER SF 250, but whenever i ride the RE motorcycle it feel like no other bike can match the comfort of RE, specially the classic 350 reborn. I feel more engaged with this particular motorcycle whenever i take it to long rides. Moreover, there are many riders even once upon a time i too used to thing that RE is a slow motorcycle. But in our indian road conditions, specially in highways 80-110kmph cruising speed is idle for every motorcycles. And RE does not hesitate to achieve that speed at all. Every riders should ride RE once in a life to experience the engagement of a rider with his motorcycle.
THE PARTICULAR VIDEO I WAS EXPECTING FROM THIS CHANNEL. Royal Enfield has improved a lot in terms of quality and services. More video expected from you Bulu Bhai on RE models.
Classic 350 hai mere pas, mere bike 2016 ka hai, mai try kar raha hu agar paise ka intezam ho sake to super meteor 650 lene ka, bachpan se mujhe cruiser bike bohot pasand hai, Terminator 2 mai Arnold Schwarzenegger jab Harley fat boy chalay the to mai fida ho gaya, mai harley ke shoow room pe ja kar dekha v hu uss bike ko, but that was too expensive for me, so from the price point of view super meteor 650 lene ka mann hai, i dont like to go fast but like to glow slow with max 70-80km speed range....
I am 67 years old, I am riding Bajaj Chetak Scooter for the last thirty years now I want to give him rest and purchase a bike or scooty but I have knee joint pain in both the legs, is it wise to purchase bike KTM Duke 250 or it will be better to purchase Yamaha Aerox for touring purpose
Love it or hate it RE rocks bullu bhai 😍👏👍..! I owned a meron classic 350 2013 model.. Sold in last oct 23 nd bought a RE interceptor 650 calli green... Cheers bullu bhai... Happy riding 🙌
I bought my first Classic 350 silver in 2013 and sold it in 2016, again bought a Classic 350 maroon in 2018 just for Munsyari Uttrakhand trip and sold it in Jan 2018, now I am going to a new Classic 350 stealth black and stay with it till my last breath
I came across veteran RE riders they told me that it's best for modification according to Rider's style... That's why it's emotion for rider. It's not for everyone
What do you think, which one is better Honda CB 350 (DLX Pro) - Royal Enfield Classic 350 (Signal) - Royal Enfield Hunter 350 (Dapper) - Honda Hness CB 350 (DLX Pro). As a general rider, I am in search of a bike suitable for daily commuting as well as occasional tours.
At the age of 43 I owned my 1st bike sp125 during lock down. After 3 years I bought by dream bike interceptor and today it's completing 1 year. For my daily office commuting and long drive to Asansol (from Kolkata) is fine and too much practical. But for group ride I prefer my interceptor. It's too long drive friendly and same time totally impractical in city traffic.
One word - character. RE focusses on maintaining that character. RE's, Yamaha RX's, Pulsar 220, Pulsar NS200, OG Karizma, bs3 KTM's etc are few of that bikes that oozed character, and unsurprisingly all of then have cult following. Other reason is that all Enfield's are really well balanced, they don't wobble at the slowest of speeds. And all of them have got oodles of useable torque.
I owned three Royal Enfield’s Thunder bird 350 Classic 350 Now I have meteor 350 Experience overall is very good reliability wise also But classsic was more of an impulsive purchase
I used to hate RE because for generations I have seen my friends having simple unavoidable problems which other brands having low cost did not have or the vibrations on the high speed which made the screw bolts go loose. Now I won a RE classic reborn chrome bronze and don't want to replace it with any other motorcycle. 😉👍
i have a std 500 from past 8 years and i have completed 56000 kms on it. Of that 30000 are on road trips. Recently it has been give bit problems and maintenance cost is increasing. But will still keep it :)
GONE ARE THE DAYS.. USP WAS "BEING MECHANICAL". RE'S FROM 50's & 60's are still running... After 2010 it is just any other electronic bike, NOTHING SPECIAL!!!!
My first love was my Bullet 350cc in1980 after my first Bike Yezdi 250 in 1970. Those days you had to wait for your number after paying the Advance in full. The roads quality were not this beautiful but road sides were green ., No Super Highways. Still young ones were after Royal Enfield just like you boys now. Love you all.😊😊
i m not a fan or wanting to own Royal enfield but i like designs of meteor 350, super meteor 650, hunter. and because of features i m impressed by interceptor 650 and new himalayan 450.
Yes sir your information is very useful i had 1987 model 350 that was Unforgotanle i miss every moment now i am thinking to buy same my classic one or 2007 model royal enfield 500cc so how is my choice please advice me sir 👍👏
Dear Bulu bhai, I do not watch TH-cam regularly, today I got this your video by chance. Liked the content, many words agreed few are neutral. I am riding Royal Enfield motorcycle for last three decades (along with other brands like Yezdi, Kawasaki, Honda, Karizma etc.). There are many things to be agree or disagree in the matter of motorcycle during riding experience. I still own few motorcycles including a Bullet Standard350 and a Himalayan (as here we are talking about RE). As my number is fifty plus, Himalayan fits better for long ride, as I still do long rides in extreme Himalayas. Bullet I ride sometime to shake my body (I find it a good body muscle warmer). As a old school guy I like to see Amp meter, and when to kick. At the same time when I rave Himalayan I am at my 20's. One think I must admit that a 200kg metal gives you a different take on life (may be worshipping, compassionate, love, discipline). There are many modern, advanced, super logical bikes, but like: our society and cultural upbringings of life's and values reflects on our food, costumes, traditions, festivals, that's the threads RE links for years.
For me efficiency is the key point to choose any bike, if bike is far more efficient without loosing power/pickup than another bike then the former one is more acceptable for me. For example Pulsar N150/Apache 160 4v etc these bikes r faster, better, smoother, more efficient!!
Royal Enfield is sold for its seating position, macho image and exhaust sound. Easy to repair anywhere and yes can customised easily to log of parts available in the market.
bhai emotion tho hai 2010-2013,14 tak atleast 1000 ppl would have asked about my thunderbird, happy days ka hero bhi ek scene ke liye mera bike liya tha such was the exclusivity and my brother had taken what you took in 2013-500 desert storm after failing to take mine, the grudge still exists so wen i took hunter 1.5 yrs back i have kept it a secret from all❤❤❤
I have been wanting to buy a motorcycle and considering RE as it seems like a good cruising vehicle but feel practicality comes in the way. My better half isn't very keen on learning and would rather have a scooter that has more use cases in day to day life. So a RE or any bike in my case comes across as a selfish move. I could go crazy and get a scooter and RE but then struggle for parking space in the building.
Was not a fan of RE but all of a sudden thought to buy one , went to buy classic but liked meteor black 😅 and after owning I should say it's a different feeling than other bikes
Bro I am more of a car guy but this year my wife demanded Royal Enfield Classic 350 as her birthday gift. I booked it over MIY with all available accessories and yesterday got the delivery. She is really happy and she drove it for almost 3 hours straight….that smile on her face while she was driving….priceless 😊😊
Bro you should try it too. I am sure you will love it to as your wife do. RE is very heart feeling ride.
If one doesn't like RE for any reason, just buy Eicher Motor Stocks. It will give good returns to afford any rival expensive bike of your liking.
I have😁 and usually on every Launch Keep doing that 😁
Not a good idea. I think RE has almost reached its Peak. With increasing compitition in the 300+ cc Category, its Market Share might drop😎
@@oshoosho8466 hearing this for so many years but RR has proven itself from the launch of Meteor 350.
Competition's best motorcycle in classic segment has sales similar to Meteor only.
@@uditchandani Today no other Motorcycle is anywhere close to RE. But competition is gradually rising. I find RE Overpriced. It has to offer better Features for same Price. This will definitely eat its fat Profit Margins, hence the Stock Value too😎
I'm not saying that RE will fail, but not a good idea to hold the Stocks for Long Term.
@@oshoosho8466 competition is rising no doubt but the market is also expanding. More people are buying 350 cc+ segment than ever. The only time competition was worrying when Honda launched it's Highness which was a superior product buy RE came back with its Classic reborn and has never looked back.
Finally someone has said good about the Old bullets and I own a 1996 standard 350. The age of the bike is 28 years and 4 months and I'm 27😅. I absolutely love old bullets and that is why I bought it 2nd hand and restored it completely back to its glory with golden painter pinstripes, original replica monograms and decals. It gets a lot of attention of people on the road specially uncles and middle aged mens and they don't hesitate to talk to me about it. Every time I park it somewhere in a public place someone is definitely checking it out. Next month I'm going to Zanskar and ladakh trip on my 96 and this is going to be my dream ride.
Have a Safe Journey brother. 👍🏻
All the best
Yup,
I agree with you cent per cent...
At 56 I bought RE HUNTER just to satisfy my emotions.... And, most probably a trip to Leh-Ladakh very soon...
But, dear Bulu, I need your good wishes all my way....
Keep up the good work and keep educating us.... Thank you
Bulubhai, I got my first RE bullet in 1967, the tire rims had written on it Made in England, when i kicked it , it nahed like a horse, this sound came from the compression exit rubber tube which was pinched flat from the company. The Amp meter told me when the piston was on the Top Dead End (tde) by pressing the compression release tiny lever, I kicked and the familiar drumming would start. The manul contact breaker had a capacitor which got shorted out ofter, the contacts had gap adjusting plates which got loose. Had later on got a rocket thin
Silencer which had sound that 3 colonies would hear me pass by., this silencer had a shark like fin built in at the end which pointed upwards, like half an arrow end. BULUBHAI you had to be my age so as to enjoy it, it was not just a head turned but the traffic looked at the bike as though it was an aninal from another planet ! My color was metalic orange yellow honey gold with mudguards and frame Black, later on got it to metalic military green, seat too. 😅
In long run RE bikes add more memories compared to others. Own Bullet 500 carburettor version since 2014 still works n looks same it did 10 years ago. Loving it.
Yeah more service center memories
@@spcomics7006 Yes. After initial free service period I had serviced it outside and mechanic of the garage has became good friend of mine... RE authorised service centres are pathetic.
I was not really bothered about cult or emotion etc. when I purchased Standard 350 in 2016. My weight remained within 95-100 KGs and I needed just a "good motocycle" that can offer me a sense of security while travelling at 50-70 KMPH. Also I dislike those plastic egg shells on a vehicle which looks like a false show off to me. Hence I settled for a all metal motorcycle. After 7 years of usage, I can vouch for its stability and reiability. Plus, Standard 350 renders a 42 KMPL mileage even in city rides.
Bhai, bewaja koi emotion ziada der tikta nahi. RE is really doing a good and honest job.
Since 2009, I've been riding Royal Enfield motorcycles, starting with the iron cast model. I then transitioned to the Thunderbird AVL and later acquired the Electra twinspark in 2016. While the older Bullets posed numerous challenges and issues, the emotional connection remained strong. However, the twinspark model has proven to be a reliable companion with fewer issues to date.
Interestingly, when I visit my mechanic, they often dismiss the newer BS6 models as not worth the investment anymore. Despite trying various other bikes like the Pulsar, Unicorn 150, CBR 250, and most recently, the Suzuki V Strom 250, my bond with Royal Enfield remains unwavering. It's not just a motorcycle; it's an emotion that I cherish deeply.
1. Torque
2. Comfort
3. Local/authorized Service centre availability
4. Tank range good for long rides
5. Easily attach many luggages
The thing you said at @16:23 is one of the best psychological therapies meant for all. Salute for giving such a wonderful advice.
I own RE Meteor 350. Just 1 month old. It's for daily office commute. Every day I need to travel 100 kms. Need something strong and comfortable.Speed is not a priority for me.Ownwd Bajaj Avenger 220 previously.Had a lot of electronic issues. Forced to sell that bike within a year. I hope the RE will be a reliable one.
Aap khush ho isse ...
Wait for 10 months and it will show it's colours...almost all the people who bought meteor sold it after a year
@@Workaholic07why? I am confused between meteor and cb350
3 years and my Meteor looks and rides like new. No issues. Daily office commute.
In 2006, I purchased a Hero Honda Super Splendor 125 cc and rode it for 16 years. In 2022 I bought RE Classic reborn 350 and I'm a very Happy customer of RE now😊
I bought Bullet350b after test riding it. Going into 40's very soon i needed a comfortable and gentle sounding and music to my ears. Not regretting one bit of it. Riding for past 6 months with a content ❤️
Bro same thing happen with me i bought jawa 42 but i cant get that feeling so in 1 yr i sold and now happy owner of bullet 350❤ its is emotion 😍
Whatta Video❤Just simply superb, no biased, sponsored thought..just pure feeling..RE classic foreve❤
I own an interceptor, since I was waiting for a long time for a twin, I purchased it as soon as it was launched,(1st batch). I love my bike, but my expereince has been really really bad, some or the other things gets screwed up especially alot of electrical issues. Iv towed my bike 5 times so far in my trips. I have to think alot before taking out for my trips. No matter what the feeling of riding it offers if it doesn't give a piece of mind, what's the point. I am looking for an ADV, but no matter how good the new himalayan is , I am NEVER going to buy another Royal Enfield.
Great video.. I am 39 year old now in US & just brought Intercepter 650 Baker Express last year.. growing up two of my uncles had Royal Enfield Classic 500. When my parents brought me Hero Honda Passion as 17yr old back in Pune back in 2002.. Royal Enfield was a dream bike..Thanks for great video!!
I was a huge Royal Enfield fan, always been keen to explore a RE. I used to ogle at an RE even when I was in my car. But I gave myself time, I took test rides of RE interceptor, GT650, hunter and I went to other brands as well. Finally, I concluded that my needs will be best fulfilled by the Triumph Scrambler 400. It’s also a big value for money and I have fallen in love with the fact that the bike gives me so much confidence on road. I don’t have regrets of not buying an RE, as said in the video, the emotion was there but the feeling has somehow gotten compromised due to certain changes in government policies and modernisation.
Call me fanboy but my first bike was a pulsar 150 dtsi (2012). Rode it for less than a year and sold it for a sprawling new Electra 350 (2013). Had to part it due to personal reason after 5 years. Had the best experience.
In 2017 end, situation impoved and bought pulsar 220. Within 6 months, sold it and brought NS 200 (BS4). But the feel of RE kept haunting me and sold it in less than 2 years and bought a BS4 Classic 350. Coming from NS 200, the 350 seemed under-powered. So post 2nd COVID lockdown (late 2021), sold it off and bought myself a pre-worshipped Thunderbird 500 (BS3- 2016). I love this beast every moment and happen to grin whenever I ride it.
Bullu, question for a long haul rider like you: How many REs do you see on the highways? In the cities yes. RE has a loyal city customer base. About 30 to 40 percent are repeat buyers. But as a performance oriented bike, much needs to be done to refine RE.
Having said so, RE still has a strong road performance.
And the way they market their brand and their showrooms are just miles ahead of their competition.
I previously owned a CBR 250R and now for the last 2.5 years owning a Dominar 400 UG. I was not at all a fanboy of Royal Enfield. But gradually developed a liking for the brand, especially when they upped their quality. Now it came to a position that I want to own a Royal Enfield. That's how much my liking and desire to own a Royal Enfield has become off late. Since I am a person who does long touring, hence finally made up my mind to buy a Himalayan 450 at the end of this year. Then I can proudly say that I own a Royal Enfield. Just waiting for the tubeless spoke wheels to come for the bike. 🤞
The emotional connect, yeah i see that in my dad, i gifted him a 2018 Classic 350 BS4 after i started earning, and he loves it. RE used to be the fastest and most dreamed of bike of his time, he loves bikes but never purchased one due to responsibilities, so i decided to do it on his behalf. and now after 5 years, i surprised him again by adding a red rooster rumbler exhaust. and unlike the typical RE jargon this one is pretty reliable.
What is the point of this video? Every eoyal renfield fanboy memorises these points after breakfast everyday to win any logical arguments when they understand they are losing..
Bulletier never cares about win or loss. Period
RE riders are the original Andhbhakts.😄

Bought a meteor 350 as my first bike at the age of 27... Love every single ride even small rides to the gym or office ❤
I have a 2017 RE 500. It's really a bike for the city and long ride. I really enjoy with this bike❤🥰
I was Skeptical because People buy RE bikes due to emotions.
Now, I own an Interceptor 650 and I can attest RE bikes are not just bikes, they are a different kind of feeling.
RE are bought mostly because of their brand value, they are a good study in marketing and branding and not motorcycle engineering
Their engineering is also world class. May be you just don't like Royal Enfield
@arvindaries87 what kind of motorcycle Engineering you feel it doesn't have !?!
It has tremendous engineering techniques,that's why people still use the old RE classic or classic 350 even 30 plus years old.
That exhaust sound makes anyone to drive crazy at lower speeds , had 1985,1987,1994,models and now Himalayan 452❤
I used to think that RE is a construction vibrator with wheels but Fortnine's engine oil forensics changed my perception of the brand
In India it's different,in 2023. Royal Enfield had the biggest recall in india 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
You nailed it .... Great 👍 i am over 59 year old and have been riding bike for over44years now , was bitten by the ' Bullet ' bug in my early teens on a borrowed army disposal RE. Decades later could afford first RE Electra then second RE classic 350. And yes yes yes... it's emotion , slow speed , Dhuk dhuk dhuk,brotherhood, cult and lot more. Thanks for voicing it , Good wishes from Bhopal ( MP )
Hello dear, you are really a bike lover. I have seen you driving big bikes in your videos.
I am 60 year old man but all through my life had this dream of riding RE. Now i will have Meteor 350, 2 months later after i retire.
Right said In movie ads of Re is very strong,it is the area where all other bike manufacturers lack ads.
Wonderful video Bulu Bhai
I owned so many RE's
First one classic 500 (miss it the most), Himalayan, meteor 350, interceptor and now the interceptor anniversary limited edition
Fantastic bro
After waiting 47 years l bought Thunderbird 350 and last week did my first every 224 km ride with wife. It was a amazing trip, dream to go ladhak some day with her....
Love at first site & owned my first bike Meteor 350 Steller Black. After 3 years I still love it like first love.
Lmao ,meteor is the slowest after hunter, it's heavy , sluggish and really unreliable 😂 miss the old thunderbird 🙏🏽

I was a kid when one of my father's friend came in a military bullet to my home. My father took a ride with me seated on the fuel tank, a short but sweet ride, which gave a definite spark to me about the royal experience of a bullet. I was a proud bajaj chethak kid till that moment, papa ka bajaj... hamara bajaj 😉
When i was in high-school, my uncle took a machismo. He was 6feet2 and the way it looked when he rides it make me fall head over heals for the machine. Not only in movies, people in real life also makes deep impressions my friend! The love for RE strengthened in me.
I took my first bullet 350 in 2007, which was a 1992 model second hand vehicle, single owner well maintained. For the next 5 years i lived a royal life with my Bullet. It gave me lots of wonderful moments in my life. At that time there we very less bullets on the road and when a fellow bullet owner meet you anywhere there used to a lot of discussions about the vehicles. In 2012 when i sold my buddy and flew abroad, i was sad to let him go.
Now, after returning to India last year, i took the new Bullet 350 Maroon, definitely my man is keeping me happy and safe. My passion for bullet stays high as ever.
PS: I took a test drive of all new RE models and wanted to take Interceptor 650, but came back to Bullet 350 since it offered the best pillion experience to my wife. Period. 😁
From Bangalore.
I cancelled Bullet booking and went for Honda CB200X.
Vehicle Purpose: to swiftly move around the city, good FE, cheap to maintain, fun to ride, look special.
Why did I reject RE Classic? - to expensive for the value of adds to me. It's very heavy for modern city traffic conditions. For me it's a good Holiday bike. To drive away from the city for the weekend. Up to 150 kms from City. Longer than that, Cars are better. I don't want to spend 3 L for a weekend bike , which I'm sure i don't drive away from City every week.
Am Also planning for cb200x, only fear is kick rod, will it starts if I leave it for 15 days aside???
@@niranjana7786. I went home for a month. Bike was kept in parking. It even rained 3/4 times when I was away. The bike started fine. It's a light petrol engine with not so much compression. It will easily start
RE Electra is my first bike I still own, and I bought (2014) it especially for going to Ladakh. It was my dream. I completed my dream in just 6 months after buying my bike. After watching this video, i felt so nostalgic and all those events came to my mind.
Luv U Bulu Bhai for the clip for the dream bike to take for Laddakh.
Actually royal Enfield bullet used to have exclusivity till 2015 but after that its more common, chapri students and workers doodhwala are purchasing and riding bullet with modification that makes us shift to either dominar bajaj or other company like honda CB 350 highness that is good alternative then RE
Old bullets didn't had fuel gauge, vibrated alot but had feelings. New bullets have fuel gauge, less vibrations but lacks the old one's feelings.

Bulu bhai... When I first met you in Guwahati, I owned a Classic 350 which I took to Ladakh. And now after owning it for 8 years now I own an Interceptor 650. I love both the motorcycles. But to be honest I did a 33 days trip to Ladakh from Guwahati & back.. Apart from my meter cable, I didn't face one single problem.
And I must say you have always been an inspiration, I started doing motorcycle rides by watching and getting inspiration from you. Thank you 🙏🏻
Bullu bhai thank you for this video, It was a dream to buy a Royal Enfield Bullet just a few days back I bought my new generation RE Bullet 350 on my late mom's birthday on 6th of June 2024, just came from a long solo ride in a remote area I can't tell you the sence feeling it gave me and I stumbled upon this video just after the ride.
I saw your first video on your Harley Davidson long back, you inspired me, Working hard for what I want in life, aspiring and manifesting my future. I will be back on this comment in the future to recall this feeling.
I am wishing to this universe that everyone should get what they aspire in life and best health to their family.
Thanks Bullu Bhai ❤
I got into riding after seeing lot of bikers riding their royal Enfield on Independence day ride in year 2014 Bangalore. I got very much inspired from that emotion and bought my RE Classic 350 in 2015 and since then n till date enjoying each and every ride on my bike.. now added one more to my collection.. Himalayan 450..
Lot more travel to come on these bikes..❤
Hero Xtreme 2013 user. No nonsense bike. Nowadays maintenance is just yearly oil change, nothing else. Still able to do 115 km/hr top speed solo & 110 km/hr with pillion (Same speed when bought in 2013). Ridde friend`s BS3 himalayan extensively. Very good bike but then low mileage, Cone set issues, service bill more that his car`s annual maintenance. New gen J series bikes are good but not worth spending that fortune. Brother in law bought Meteor 350 but showroom delivery experience was very bad like bike lelo & futo yaha se. Further we did 500 kms touring ride. Bike struggles to go above 110 km/hr with pillion even though comfort levels are good compared to my bike. Test rode New gen himalayan. Power is crazy & bike do give big bike feel but not usable for family man. Loved meteor very much but felt not worth spending 2.9L OTR (Fully accessorized) if it still struggle to go beyond 110 km/hr with pillion & equipment levels are not that good based on what similar priced segment bikes offering. Accessories prices are ridiculous too, Test rode maverick / HD x 440. Looking at hardware its offering (Healthy torque, Best suspension set up, 6 speed GB with slipper clutch & list goes on), Maverick it good bike but for 6ft guy, that bike looks tiny. So search for prefect upgrade still continues.
2015 unicorn 160 user, done 60000km and only maintanence is oil change every 3500km. 50+ mileage even now. Great experience with the bike but now looking for an upgrade and after extensive research and test rides, finally zeroed in on the Maverick and booked it, mid variant. Great vfm and I'm 5'7, so suits me perfect. For your height scrambler 400x or huscvarna 401 or even KTM adv might suit
I don't like RE bikes... but i like their stocks .. I somehow think many people now-a-days prefer other bikes and the cult following of RE is slowly missing... Especially with so many 400CC bikes in the market now..
Bullet become chapris favourite and with doodhwalas and other people buying it in large numbers bullet lost its exclusivity since few years...

Bulu bhai I want to buy a 125 cc scooter for city usage
I'm confused b/w Access 125 & N-Torq 125
PLEASE SUGGEST 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Being a RE owner for 9 years and a owner in the past to, I do not think it is the exhaust note. The reason is more like nostalgia, seat comfort, milage for a big bike, road presence and definitely the torque....
My initial riding days was with a classic 500. I initially did love the bike because of the thump and looks. I kept riding it and started going for longer rides. This is when I got disillusioned with the bike as it began to struggle on highways. Mind you, this is my personal feel as vibrations were too much for me beyond 60 kmph and at idle. Continued riding it as I could not afford a new bike. Fell out of this obsession with the "feeling" and "character" of the bike.
In fact, to me it felt like the bike was telling me how to ride and not riding the way I wanted it to. If I want to cruise at 100 kmph on three-lane highways I should be able to. While it did cruise comfortable below 60 kmph, I felt suffocated. And this bike just completely let me down to the point where I would dread the numb feeling I got in my fingers after even small rides.
This coupled with repeated fuel pump issues, horrible quality of parts and very abysmal cold starts made me move on to different bikes . I can understand and empathise with people who want character but implore people to open their minds and let go of that "feeling" as they are missing out on many more refined bikes. Just my two cents. At the end of the day, doesn't really matter what bike you ride, so long as you are able to enjoy the ride. Excellent analysis as always Bulu bhai.
Well put... Only those with an open mind,will learn and evolve. Others will keep falling in the trap of "character", "feel" etc. According to me, RE stands for absolutely pathetic Engineering.
*My Royal Enfield Story*
Hello bulu bhai.... I am 1989 Born. Jab samaj aane lagi tab ek bike dikhti thi jisko sirf kuch limited log own karte the... Mere papa ke paas bajaj scooter thi lekin unka bhi dream tha ke kabhi wo bhi bullet kharide...par jimmedariyo ki vajah se wo ho nahi paya... Jab mere 10th birthday ke din mujhe wo baat pata chali toh curiosity aur badhne lagi ki aisa kya hai iss bike me ke sirf kuch log hi own karte hai fir jab main job karne laga tab maine new unicorn kharidi aur papa bhi same bike own karte the jo unhone 2nd hand kharidi thi... 2019 me Ek din wo chori ho gayi... And ab wo koi budget bike lene ki soch rahe the... Par maine unko meri unicorn bike use karne ko kaha aur maine ek bike book ki jo thi unki uss waqt ki favourite RoyalEnfield standard 350 ab self start ka jamana aa chuka tha par mujhe wo unka wish pura karna tha jo maine kiya... Age ke hisab se unhone jyada use nahi kiya wo aaj bhi unicorn hi chalate hai but wo khushi jo unke aankho me thi... Its priceless.. Happy too share with u
I agree with everything that you said. Because there is definitely a different fanbase for RE and I own a classic 350 & Interceptor 650❤
I rode royal enfield first time in ladakh. From leh to pangong. The rode was tougher then in 2016. And the bike hold up great. The handling, comfort, power everything was great. Royal Enfield made me an adventurer. Now i own a scram 411. Had few short comings-in it in the beginning but it’s getting better day by day. Happy RE owner. Service and quality should improve.
I own RE HUNTER 350 & RE CLASSIC 350 REBORN,
Besides i also own a SUZUKI GIXXER SF 250, but whenever i ride the RE motorcycle it feel like no other bike can match the comfort of RE, specially the classic 350 reborn. I feel more engaged with this particular motorcycle whenever i take it to long rides. Moreover, there are many riders even once upon a time i too used to thing that RE is a slow motorcycle. But in our indian road conditions, specially in highways 80-110kmph cruising speed is idle for every motorcycles. And RE does not hesitate to achieve that speed at all.
Every riders should ride RE once in a life to experience the engagement of a rider with his motorcycle.
THE PARTICULAR VIDEO I WAS EXPECTING FROM THIS CHANNEL. Royal Enfield has improved a lot in terms of quality and services.
More video expected from you Bulu Bhai on RE models.
Sure bro we will make a video on the History of RE, that will be really interesting
made like a gun, love it or hate it, everyone wants to have one
Classic 350 hai mere pas, mere bike 2016 ka hai, mai try kar raha hu agar paise ka intezam ho sake to super meteor 650 lene ka, bachpan se mujhe cruiser bike bohot pasand hai, Terminator 2 mai Arnold Schwarzenegger jab Harley fat boy chalay the to mai fida ho gaya, mai harley ke shoow room pe ja kar dekha v hu uss bike ko, but that was too expensive for me, so from the price point of view super meteor 650 lene ka mann hai, i dont like to go fast but like to glow slow with max 70-80km speed range....
If u buy RE , u bring History to ur home...Ye wali feeling and emotion...

Classic 350 was my first bike...back in 2013.... Sold it last year.. had wonderful and beautiful memories with classic... Now planning to buy aerox
I came across veteran RE riders they told me that it's best for modification according to Rider's style... That's why it's emotion for rider. It's not for everyone
What do you think, which one is better Honda CB 350 (DLX Pro) - Royal Enfield Classic 350 (Signal) - Royal Enfield Hunter 350 (Dapper) - Honda Hness CB 350 (DLX Pro). As a general rider, I am in search of a bike suitable for daily commuting as well as occasional tours.
Go ahead with the Honda
@@faustinepimento298 reason?
@@abhishupathak707 you get a good reliable engine with unmatched smoothness. And easy to handle compared to the Enfield. After all it is a Honda.
I own six Enfields. Love them all...Each Enfield has its own character.... Enfields are cooool bikes to own. ❤️❤️
At the age of 43 I owned my 1st bike sp125 during lock down. After 3 years I bought by dream bike interceptor and today it's completing 1 year. For my daily office commuting and long drive to Asansol (from Kolkata) is fine and too much practical. But for group ride I prefer my interceptor. It's too long drive friendly and same time totally impractical in city traffic.
One word - character. RE focusses on maintaining that character. RE's, Yamaha RX's, Pulsar 220, Pulsar NS200, OG Karizma, bs3 KTM's etc are few of that bikes that oozed character, and unsurprisingly all of then have cult following.
Other reason is that all Enfield's are really well balanced, they don't wobble at the slowest of speeds. And all of them have got oodles of useable torque.
I owned three Royal Enfield’s
Thunder bird 350
Classic 350
Now I have meteor 350
Experience overall is very good reliability wise also
But classsic was more of an impulsive purchase
Amazing brother, meteor is a very good bike as on date, we r also renting couple of meteor on our upcoming trip
conti gt 535, what an amazing bike with Brembo brakes. unfortunately, it is not sold now. It's love at 1st sight.
Classic 350 dark gunmetal grey given by my mother it's not just a bike it's an emotional ❤😌
I used to hate RE because for generations I have seen my friends having simple unavoidable problems which other brands having low cost did not have or the vibrations on the high speed which made the screw bolts go loose. Now I won a RE classic reborn chrome bronze and don't want to replace it with any other motorcycle. 😉👍

Kuch bacha h?
i have a std 500 from past 8 years and i have completed 56000 kms on it. Of that 30000 are on road trips. Recently it has been give bit problems and maintenance cost is increasing. But will still keep it :)
I didn't buy meteor because i like royal enfield, but because I liked the bike itself and still I love the bike like when I bought it
I purchased the same but made in spoke wheel. If I change to alloy wheel, then any issue can raised.
Give me the better suggestion please.

My first love was my Bullet 350cc in1980 after my first Bike Yezdi 250 in 1970. Those days you had to wait for your number after paying the Advance in full. The roads quality were not this beautiful but road sides were green ., No Super Highways. Still young ones were after Royal Enfield just like you boys now. Love you all.😊😊

Should I go for PPF on Kamet White Himalayan or is it unnecessary. Also what should be the expected life of ppf and cost ?
Yes sir your information is very useful i had 1987 model 350 that was Unforgotanle i miss every moment now i am thinking to buy same my classic one or 2007 model royal enfield 500cc so how is my choice please advice me sir 👍👏
Dear Bulu bhai, I do not watch TH-cam regularly, today I got this your video by chance. Liked the content, many words agreed few are neutral. I am riding Royal Enfield motorcycle for last three decades (along with other brands like Yezdi, Kawasaki, Honda, Karizma etc.). There are many things to be agree or disagree in the matter of motorcycle during riding experience. I still own few motorcycles including a Bullet Standard350 and a Himalayan (as here we are talking about RE). As my number is fifty plus, Himalayan fits better for long ride, as I still do long rides in extreme Himalayas. Bullet I ride sometime to shake my body (I find it a good body muscle warmer).
As a old school guy I like to see Amp meter, and when to kick. At the same time when I rave Himalayan I am at my 20's. One think I must admit that a 200kg metal gives you a different take on life (may be worshipping, compassionate, love, discipline). There are many modern, advanced, super logical bikes, but like: our society and cultural upbringings of life's and values reflects on our food, costumes, traditions, festivals, that's the threads RE links for years.
For me efficiency is the key point to choose any bike, if bike is far more efficient without loosing power/pickup than another bike then the former one is more acceptable for me.
For example Pulsar N150/Apache 160 4v etc these bikes r faster, better, smoother, more efficient!!
Massive Low end torque under low rpm which give smooth riding experience is the most common reason people buy
Royal Enfield is sold for its seating position, macho image and exhaust sound. Easy to repair anywhere and yes can customised easily to log of parts available in the market.

Wow amazing brother.. Happy days was my favourite movie
I have been wanting to buy a motorcycle and considering RE as it seems like a good cruising vehicle but feel practicality comes in the way. My better half isn't very keen on learning and would rather have a scooter that has more use cases in day to day life. So a RE or any bike in my case comes across as a selfish move. I could go crazy and get a scooter and RE but then struggle for parking space in the building.
Namaskar 🙏,Bhaina
Lot's of love from Mayurbhanj,Odisha.
Interms of reliability RE bikes are far better than BAJAJ,HERO etc.
Was not a fan of RE but all of a sudden thought to buy one , went to buy classic but liked meteor black 😅 and after owning I should say it's a different feeling than other bikes
