I am a female motovlogger from Assam and recently completed a trip to Ladakh. On my way home, one of the bolts connecting the engine and chassis fell off, and another one was about to fall off. Fortunately, I noticed it just in time. My chassis would probably have broken if I hadn't noticed, which is a serious issue. I had to make an unplanned stop in Siliguri to fix these problems. I’ll be uploading the videos soon and hope that Royal Enfield takes this issue seriously. By the way, my leg guard is genuine from Royal Enfield and was installed at a Royal Enfield showroom.
Please go ahead and express! I have been through all this sh*t regarding 2018 Himalayan 411 model. I would never buy an RE product ever! Period!!😡
Royal Enfields are the biggest pieces of dog sheet. Mur Thunderbird ekhon asil in 3 years it sucked the niceness out of me. Rode 56k kms in 3 years and later sold it off. I bought a Mahindra Mojo BS6 last year, did Ladakh in May of this year and did 25k kms in a single year and except the rear brake got stuck once it never gave me any issue.
@@inceltatsu9917still we can buy bs6 mojo pls let me.know
I hope those issues are solved
I had 3 of my friends buy Hunters, and almost lost all 3 of them because of how horrible my recommendation turned out to be in the end!
Two of the Hunters had faulty fuel cap issue, and the last one's key would not come out of the hole without the blessings of Thor!
None of the 3 bikes' issues were said to be under Royal Enfield's warranty! They had to pay out of pocket to get them fixed and even today, they remind me about how I made them buy pieces of junk!
Everyday, I regret recommending them, and would *NEVER* buy a Royal Enfield in my life! Sure, I'd go to the showroom, sit on it and get an overall opinion of the bike, but that's it.
Thankfully, with Mavrick 440 and Scrambler 400X, I have a few choices left. I might buy an LC4C KTM Adventure next, but it isn't comfirmed.
I have 10 year old wagon R (57K kms) and 5 yr old Interceptor (11k kms) barely used. The amt of times my RE has visited the service centre is twice as much when compared. Don’t get me wrong, I love my RE, haven’t had any major issues but god man, those small annoying niggles, brakes go soft soon after a light wash, speedo stops working completely, smooth af when working properly but unexpected vibrations sometimes, out of nowhere that too, water gets into spark plugs, unavailable parts at service centre, leaky front forks. It gets to you after a while. RE needs some serious quality control and the service centre, they need to get fixed asap. This made me love and appreciate my wagon R a lot more for its reliability and its service centres even though it’s just a tiny, fragile box with a puny engine, it has never, not once given up on me.
I am riding interceptor for last 2 years, around 30k on odometer. I am having an issue from last 6 months. The engine rpm fluctuates even in running condition, either there will be minor drop suddenly or minor increase in rpm. I have been to the company owned service centre in Hyderabad, each time they said this is normal. It took efforts to make them understand that this is an issue. Took the mechanic on ride and showed the exact thing. He agreed to check the issue, could not debug and told me that they will call the flyer to get it checked. ( for peculiar issues, they call some sort of senior mechanic who visits the service centres on demand ). He also could not figure out the reason of problem. Later on, they resorted to saying that this is not a problem. I took the flyer with me for short ride and showed him the issue. He argument was this is not a problem. To show this he chose other interceptor, we rode that too which was running butter smooth. When he ran out of arguments, he saw that I am using brass chain of RK takasago company. So he came up with this argument that you are not using stock chain, that's why this issue is happening. I moved to RK takasago chain thinking to solve this exact issue. Told him that the issue was there before chaning the chain and sprocket. That also didn't help and when I was bit busy with the staff of service centre, he fled from there. I couldn't find him. So I thought that there is no sense in wasting time with these guys and I returned. This is the situation of a company owned service centre. The issue with my bike is still there. Getting it checked else where now.
Atleast someone raised the voice. Hats off bulu bhai.
r8👍
Very unbiased opinion . Great content
Forget Honda’s comparison with RE. I own a Dominar 400 2018 model and not a single bolt has come loosen or any other issue apart from tyres and battery replacements. Still running beautifully.
Now some fan boys will come to troll you sir 😅. They be like you cant handle real machine,real loha blah blah 😂
@@binaynayak1510 true lol 😂😂
Very true and Practical, Honda should not be compared with Royal Enfield because Royal Enfield is not at par.
I completely agree
Motorcycling should be about motorcycling and not motorcycles
The sprit should matter not the tools
🤝
I completely agree with you Bulu bhai.
As a RE BS4 Himalayan owner, the issues with the bike never seem to end. I fix one problem and feel good about riding care-free, but this happiness is short-lived because another issue is always waiting. The guys at RE just don't care and often make customers feel foolish, suggesting any bike problem is due to our riding skills. For some issues, they dismissively say, "Itna to hota hi hai" (This much is normal).
I have used royal Enfield for 12 + years. Problem is with quality of parts and bad service. I never want to go back again. You are perfectly right.
I tested RE and Honda CB 350 and bought CB350 RS because of engine and less issues.
I have a RE Classic 350 BSIV version. The Bike is superb.
But the main problem is RE Service Center's Hospitality is not good from last couple of Years.
Service Centre of RE is not well managed, that's the main problem RE loosing their brand image.
Thank you all this experience sharing is helpful for prospective buyers.
Aap manna nhi chaheto ya aapko pata nhi bike aisi nhi hoti koi or calake dekho...
Service center experience varies location to location..and that applies to most brands that has all India presence
You are lucky to own a Bs 4 version.
I am riding interceptor for last 2 years, around 30k on odometer. I am having an issue from last 6 months. The engine rpm fluctuates even in running condition, either there will be minor drop suddenly or minor increase in rpm which makes the ride jerky. I have been to the company owned service centre in Hyderabad, each time they said this is normal. It took efforts to make them understand that this is an issue. Took the mechanic on ride and showed the exact thing. He agreed to check the issue, could not debug and told me that they will call the flyer to get it checked.

Later on, they resorted to saying that this is not a problem. I took the flyer with me for short ride and showed him the issue. His argument was that this is not a problem. To show this, he chose other interceptor of manufactured in the same year, we rode that too which was running butter smooth. When he ran out of arguments, he saw that I am using brass chain of RK takasago company. So he came up with this argument that you are not using stock chain, that's why this issue is happening. I moved to RK takasago chain thinking to solve this exact issue. Told him that the issue was there before changing the chain and sprocket. That also didn't help and when I was bit busy with other staff of service centre, he fled from there. I couldn't find him. So I thought that there is no sense in wasting time with these guys and I returned. This whole process took 20 days, for 20 days my bike was at service centre. This is the situation of a company owned service centre. The issue with my bike is still there. Getting it checked else where now.
7:17 Only people who had or have a very bad experience like you will only know what is Peace of mind and Love for RE.
Bro your Machine is not cheap either.
seems like a throttle body, spark plug or throttle cable related issue. Take your bike to a superbike service centre.
I have changed the throttle body, not under warranty, paid 12000, they said that it is disturbed. Changed battery and spark plugs also, planning to go at service center tomorrow 😂
Private owned workshop is last option.
Proudly owning Honda CB 350RS since last 10 months. Clocked 7000kms without a single issue.
That's a legendary bike. Clock 70k more, there still won't be a single issue. Love my bike
you like it or not Japanese are masters of reliability. my r15 is 15 years old. it's really built like a gun😂. re is just flash
40000kms on my hness. Still running young 🎉
Amazing cant beat the Japanese bikes at all. Sold my r15 v2 at 50k km after 7 years now using r15v3 at 34k for 4 years now absolutely no issue at all @@sharathvasudev
Bhai brake pad kiti baar change kia abhi tak
Very well said Bulu bhai. Being a CB350 owner, have gotten into that sort of a discussion where in I ended up being questioned like why did I not buy an RE. There is no appreciation for products from other brands and especially Honda.
Great that you spoke up. Jai Jagannth 🙏🏼
Well stated. The reality of RE is unreliability. I had purchased a RE Thunderbird 500 in August 2013. Its unreliability killed the joy of motorcycling. I sold it in January 2023 and purchased a Honda H’ness CB 350 DLX Pro. The joy of motorcycling in now back. Smooth riding and absolute reliability.
Rode with those problems for a decade? didn't you get irritate?
exactly my r15 is 15 years old still great. there is a reason world over people go for Japanese
I have seen RE thunderbird crossing a speedbreaker which was not even a concrete on loose the exhaust on the road. The bike was a new one and i was as much as the guy who was riding it. He was standing there for like 5 mins and went back home probably after attaching it somehow. This is back in 2017 and few days saw another one this time my riding my r15v2 at that time lose another exhaust over a speedbreaker. From that time i made sure i will never buy an RE.
Bhai pura honest katha kahile.. Love the bike not brand.. Blindly dont stick with Brand ...
That's the line bro, love your bike not the brand..👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I have a 12-year-old RE Bullet 500 cc that has hardly run 6,000 km and has so many issues I have lost count of. I had replaced carburetor, ignition coils many times, starter motor, slip bearing many times, switch gear, chains and sproket due to rusting, dynamo coil due to burnout, and 4-5 batteries due to deep discharge, front break hydraulic cables due to leakage, etc. I can't sell it because no one wants to pay a good price for it. RE doesn't have good processes and manufacturing practices.
Bcos of the RE fans i hate RE bikes and fans
Totally see where you're coming from.
But i dont completely agree with it. I look at a motorcycle, not the brand first. That way, i decide what i like and don't. This can be influenced for sure, but it opens things up, because now it doesnt matter if you're a bad person for liking RE or a chappri for liking ktm.
The only question i have then, is for myself. I can also ask people that are worth talking to.
This way, you can just avoid all the noise.
Bulu Bhai sets a great example that way. Everyone talks things about a cb350, which he literally took offroad. What better example can we get for it?
Same
same broo..i am ex RE onwer i can vouch for that
Same here
Same
"Only those who have never driven a Royal Enfield or have no experience with it would say that a Royal Enfield is good. The nuts on most bikes get loose after a long ride. Brake failure, engine breakdown, and chassis breakdown are very common. Hands and feet can become paralyzed for a while due to excessive vibration."
Bulu Bhai is always right but you have to provide boroline to RE fans😂
Bro burnol😂

Fact is fact,
Honda and Triumph is better
Baki apni choice or dusre ki opinion ki respect karo ❤
Even if you are a Honda fanboy there is nothing to be ashamed of it.
No day can RE match the quality, reliability, and engine refinement of a Honda.
Bulu bhai, just ignore the haters. They are those who can't afford to buy the number of motorcycles in their lifetime which you do in a year. If you start arguing with them, it means you are valuing their comments which shouldn't be the case for someone who has seen almost everything in motorcycles.
Aaah no brother a TH-camr like me who give suggestions about bikes shouldn't be a fanboy of any particular brand, I may personally like a brand but when I suggest a bike to someone I always suggest based on his budget, service availability etc
@@BuluBiker I agree. But as you rightly pointed out, if there are hardly any negatives to say about a particular brand of motorcycle, these people assume that someone is a fanboy. This is especially the case with RE owners.
I have a friend who owns a 2014 model of RE 350 which has severe rust issues, and there are several problems that he has faced till date, yet it is quite amusing that he keeps saying that there is nothing to beat a RE. I don't argue with him, bcoz he has a cult following for RE and we would be wasting our time if we start arguing with such people.
For me personally there is no brand better than a Honda. It is reliable, of impeccable quality, and the cost of maintenance doesn't leave a big hole in your pocket.
The thing to know is honda is not expensive.... Its just cheap after sale service.... So its expensive up front.... Same thing
Perfectly said brother
The world is really becoming harsh and impatient
Please do share the contents which actually is true
Rest will be automatically taken care of!

@@BuluBiker u have subscribers who relate to your POV. That matters. One don't need to agree on every other's POV
I am a RE Interceptor owner since last 5 years. It has its strong points, but it is certainly very far from perfect. I am a DIY kind of guy and I enjoy fiddling with it all the time just to keep it in good shape. I love riding it despite all its imperfections and I don't intend to sell it either! Next bike I am planning won't be an RE though ....
RE plays with emotion of customers.
Even foreigners exploits this nowadays they praise RE bikes and the views sky Rocket. They know what they are doing.
More like fanboys have no better job in life.
re has mastered in playing with emotions of riders. I hope other companies learn from re.
RE knows how to advertise....
@@LauraLasan69 same with praising India itself.
If they even point out some minor issue people will start talking sh--.
Like how can one be so close minded?
You've got to be seriously insecure to seek praise like that.
I've said this before and I'll say it again. The greatest achievement of Royal Enfield is not its products but its ability to convince the majority into buying a subpar product and then labeling its flaws as features (Character).
I rode my BS3 Himalayan to a lot of places. It introduced me to the world of motorcycling. I still own and love it despite all its shortcomings. But when I was looking for a replacement, I decided to stay clear of RE and bought a Honda. I wanted peace of mind over anything else. No doubt RE has come a long way in terms of quality improvement, but they're still miles away from the Japanese.
I own Yezdi Adventure I am loving it and sharing my Experience on TH-cam one RE Fan boy started abusing me by saying a copy of Himalayan. What kind of mentality of these RE Rider and don't understand previously I owned a classic 350. Almost covered the entire India but jo khamia thi hamesha bolta tha but ab kuch gadhe alag hi gyan dete hai. Very well said bullu bhai👍
Perfectly said brother. Unfortunately nothing can be done about such a toxic mentality. I won't call it a brotherhood. Time to time such to the point message has to be passed to these so called "riders". With you Bulu bhai on this front 👍
Truth in simple Hindi Language, That's y Commuter bikes and Skilled Rider loves Honda , BMW & Triumph best in business ,
Please make a video
Nx500 vs Transalp for City & Long rides
Very sensible. Mujhe yaad hai about 10 years ago when I wanted to upgrade from Splendor, I asked on Facebook, which bike is best to buy apart from an RE bike and I got many comments saying that RE is not a bike, its an "emotion", nothing is better than RE. My close friends who owned an RE also said that but I didn't want to buy an RE coz I personally didn't like Classic or Bullet (still I don't). I asked them that atleast then please tell me which is the second best "emotion" after RE !? Still, they were stuck on RE and did not give me any answer. I went for a Yamaha at that time and still have that and last year I bought Meteor 350 as I like cruise motorcycles. Being an RE owner now, I still feel that if there's any negative point to share then one must share and keep a rational approach instead of cursing other bikes/motorcycles but as you said, this mindset only comes after maturity.
I dont think , Calling Spade a Spade is Cursing
RE bikes are the worst engineered bikes in the motorcycles world.
Bought Hunter-2022, frustrated with it, sold it and bought Hero Mavrick -440, quite happy with it. Hunter is like ' an incapable 350cc engine in TVS50'.
What's your review of Mavrick? I have my plans to buy it in near future. I took a test ride and was quite happy with it. Please describe it in a few sentences. It would help a lot. Thanks
Currently Hero, Bajaj give more Peace of Mind.
But i have a Dream to own a Honda 4 stroke.
Had experienced earlier Yamaha, Suzuki, Honda but all were 2 stroke engines.
Only Bajaj and Hero i experienced 4 stroke. ❤
I have been following your channel since 2011-12 thats when i bought my RE classic 350... I believe you owned one maroon one at the time... I liked what you had to say about the bike. And whenever you made reviews of any bike its always very honest and from the heart.... Dont worry about those extremists and haters... I and all the RE owners know there are tons of issues with the bike but we like to continue to own and ride it cause of the feel and charm... All bikes should be appreciated for the value they bring....
Bulu bhaiya, please ek new video bna do Honda CB350 highness 2024 vs RE Meteor. I saw your detailed video on this very long back. I am a practical buyer. Please please please. You are the best. I have been following you for a long time/years. Love your work. ❤
I own RE and i love my bike but i completely agree with you .we should be practical buyer .
Very well said man. Totally agree! Liked and subscribed for standing your ground. It should be about motorcycling as a hobby, not about a particular brand or motorcycle. If you nor happy with a motorcycle or a brand, jump ships the same way you switch jobs, plain simple. Thanks!
My experience with Royalenfield Himalayan 450 very bad.. Lots off issues with my bike.. first one is coneset issue .. breakpad issue switch issue . Handlebar alignment issue... bulu bai aaap hi ek ho jo sach me re ka problems ke bare me videos banathe ho. Problem tho sab bike ko issue hota hy lekin RE ki after sale service is pathetic 😮😢

Kitne kms me?
@@oporajitoD 48k
They said that the shaft that comes from inside the engine to the front socket , that has worn out of grip and they showed me that too but twice the same problem and I have not throttled my bike beyond 60 I don't know for how many years now. The highest speed which shows in my speedo is still 89kmph after 7 years .
Never got it serviced till date outside not even once. And they told me don't accelerate aggressively. 60 k upr Jata hi ni main uske bawajood .
I am just scared of buying bikes altogether now.
Just want a reliable bike that's it .
It's still running fine but I don't take it for long rides cz m not confident enough whether it will be reliable or not .
1st of all people who r protective of RE onle ride 350s ther r old and many issues 90% solved... They don't know Himalayas and all just bragging in cmmts
One half of why the reason for me selling my Himalayan 411 was the fan boys. They weren't ready to accept that we were riding a substandard bike. In the first 2 years of ownership I clocked 48 SC visits for things that I couldn't believe went wrong. The combined cost of the parts replaced - over ₹50k most of which were replaced under warranty. If you really are an RE fanboy, then urge them to improve quality - they'll save more money in the long run. I even got the argument that atleast RE cares enough to change the parts... I was stumped after hearing that. Most brands would have recalled all bikes and fixed the issues. Here they wasted our time and effort in running between SCs for parts, slots and mechanics availablity. Point is, don't make excuses for a brand that didn't care enough to do the checks on the product/parts before selling it you.
Thank you for calling them out, but you can't win a logical debate with an illogical crowd.
Absolute content ...❤❤ Really youtube is dying... Then there comes this kind of pure content what a community actually needs... Dil ki baat...❤
Well said bulu bhaiya respect for you grows even more one of the most honest youtuber there till now and i am not just that bcoz of this video I've been following you since last 7 years your experience is way more than me inspirational figure for a guys like me who want to grow in touring and biking culture bhaiya respect for you will always be there no matter if TH-cam stays there or not avoid these negative beings you're a level up bhaiya.
Bulu bhai on fire 🔥, being neutral & unbiased is what matters, such content helps people make right decisions, continue your good work.
I own RE Meteor 350. When I was having Bajaj Pulser 150 (bought in 2011) , I had a dream to buy RE and when I owned one now ( 2+ yrs and almost 25k kms) I am not going to buy another RE until I feel that RE is giving quality motorcycle. Even I am planning to sell this one and buy a new one.
Good point . It’s our money which these companies get by selling their products to us. We pay money and in return we demand problem free products . If problems arise then also we need quick and better solutions. Consumers are changing so companies have to more and more consumer centric
I own a Honda H'ness. Initially i was not much keen on buying a Honda. But bought it for the quality and smooth ride. Last week had an issue with the cone set. Handle was behaving very stiff. Went to nearest showroom, they took the bike in while they asked me to sit in waiting lounge. Within 10-15 mins they fixed it and gave it back! Best part is they did not charge a penny for this work. The technician gave some good tips to avoid these problems in future. Overall very good experience. Reason could be as of now Bigwings are not flooded like other mass brands, lets see in long term how the service will be! Cheers!
What was tips suggested by them
Well said bullu bhai, they are overreacting . If the product is not good, it's simple to say not good.
The reason why i like listening to this channel
Keep the good work up 👏🏻❤
After listening to various video about triumph scram 400 x and himalayan, i purchased the scram. Especially after hearing ur sandakphu ride. And i am not disappointed, feels damn good and the power it provides when u demand for it, phenomenal!
Indians can't digest that royal Enfield has major fit and finish issues
Actually people with impractical mentality thinks likewise.
Hey Bulu,
It's gr8 that you called out the haters & those spreading negativity. I've been watching your vlogs for sometime now, and can say say that you're unlike other moto vloggers, you will always state a frank & honest view, regardless of the size of the that company's vehicles/reputation. People like myself, take whatever gud we can from your vlogs, and somewhere down the line use your points/views/products of we find value in them. Plz continue doing what you're doing & play deaf & blind to those spreading negativity! Ride safe & tc!!
Got gt650... Every bump there is a sound from chasis... Never expericed this on my fz25 even after 7 years... Any suggestion bulu bhaiya??
Which ever brand provides better post sales support.
Both are good brands and old brands.
Good service less headache should win.
Bulu Bhai, kemiti acho?
The problem of most of the RE owners are, they are not buying Bikes, they are buying emotions. But I wanna ask them a simple question where is that Emotions where company was going with losses. We all appreciate how Mr. Siddhartha Lal took the project and get a great achievement but RE should take the criticism positively to grow in future.
I got a cb350 h’ness recently. This is my 9th motorcycle and the list included a 1994 RE bullet. While I loved the bullet, the brand has always been associated with component failures and bad service. I had a tough 1.5-2 yrs with the bike. When I sold it and few years later I was in the market for a bike, I was apprehensive about buying an RE so I asked existing RE users (year 2010) and almost everyone had a bad review. I went for a karizma. Although it wasn’t the best of the bikes, it gave me trouble free 5 yrs of service. My foolishness that I sold it. Now I own a cb350 and looking for a trouble free experience. Before I bought the cb350, I went and test rode a lot of bikes: the hostility of the RE showroom staff is unparalleled.
Man you earned a new subscriber today. 😊
Lots of love and support from Bengaluru 👍🏼
Honda is good but triumph is the best, Enfield is only good on paper and fans. Since last 43 years l am rider, all over lndia l have traveled, nubra to kanyakumari, jaamnagar to tamang. 5 lakh km in bike's and 3 lakh km in car
Thanks Bhai 🎉 You're not harsh at all, speak your mind and continue to be yourself. You're one of the best bikers on TH-cam, you'll always have a biker community who truly understand your content.
I also have a friend who own Royal Enfield classic 350 ,and he never tried other brands and blindly praise his bike.
And important point is that he never rides his Royal Enfield above 60km/hr., because of no confidence to ride..😂
It probably isn't about confidence and more about preservation. I have a Gixxer naked 250 and I rarely go above 50 km/h in the city. On the highway, I keep it to 70 or 80 km/h. Highest I did was 103 km/h and my right wrist hurt from the excessive shaking of the throttle!
@@Farhan_049 If you feel pain while pulling throttle in long rides, I think you have to change the throttle cable and needs to grease the throttle grip.(handle bar). And also change the fork oil and springs ..Only problem is that find a good mechanic who knows how to do the works properly.,because correct oil and quantity of oil in each fork are important for better results.
I do this before every long rides and covers 1000km in a single day. No pains and tiredness. After the ride I only needs a sleep at least 7hrs and ready to go .
Typical Royal Enfield fanboy😂
@@bennyma4807 It's definitely the handlebar assembly itself. My bike is a pre-owned Gixxer and the previous owner did crash it once. I did get it checked at the service centre and they gave me an entire list of changes to be made on it! No way I am willing to pay nearly 30k for a pre-owned bike!
I loved your practicality
And it's a very beautiful thing and helpful
And I appreciate that
A brother to a brother keeps up this practicality.
Last January, I bought a Honda CB 200X. After 2 months, I took a long ride from Chennai to Siliguri & then to Sikkim. The bike has developed a problem of leaking engine oil from the left hand side of the engine. Went to Honda Service Centre 8 times across the states but no resolution. Even Honda is not that good.
Sorry for the issues you're facing with your Honda. There was a thread on team-bhp where a person wrote about his experience with Honda Hornet 2.0 (180cc same engine and almost all underpinnings of the CB200X). He too was facing strange issues with engine internals, I guess. Pls search and read thru that thread.
And try to find a solution outside Honda service centre, that is, in a good trustworthy aftermarket mechanic workshop who has a reputation for providing a quality service.
A number of non-BigWing service centres do not provide good diagnostic services because of sheer volume of Activas Honda sells and they have to service, which, in my opinion is a pain point for most owners.
All the best
Ok, I've never heard of anybody going that kind of distance on a CB200X, but that's unexpected from Honda!
Either way, yeah. Every bike brand has issues. For me, Gixxer 250 naked's spare part availability was an issue, but that's it. I haven't had an accident on it since owning it (it's previous owner crashed it, so it has some problems, hence got it at ₹1 lac flat!).
Yes a few earlier models had some issues.
Big Wing Service Center are rare so Service is an issue 12:21
Bulu bhai most of us are like sheeps which follow each other blindly. Most of us don't have the ability to sense the good refined things, and top of that we afraid to face hard truth and always want to live in our almost fake fantasy world. I always appreciate your passion for biking and love your practical and unbiased talks. I use "we" because who so ever you are addressing are also our biker brothers and we need to discuss and try to build a healthy biker community in our country.
Some RE owners are making RE Chhapri now. KTM ones are grown-up nowadays.

Some RE Chhapris going to abuse me and prove me right.
Nobody abused you, so does that make you wrong ?
Buds keep the good work going. You are doing an amazing job and never biased about any motorcycle.
You talk about problems you faced don't try to bring up someone else's problem to prove your point. There are many happy customers. If Honda manufactures NX 500 at Hima450 price then compare. Just accept you are feeding RE haters 😊
No one is obliged to do so. If you want to promote RE then use ur channel to do that. Should not teach others
Well put across Bulu. It's your channel and you have all the rights to put contents which are informative as per your assessment. I also feel comparing any two different bikes and then doing brand bashing is not correct. I own two RE... One thunderbird 500 2014 and now a Himalayan 450, apart from Kawasaki Versys 1000. RE has definitely improved its quality but now where close to the Japanese bikes in terms of reliability. I also feel that the Service centre expertise makes a lot of difference. Didn't have any major issues in my Thunderbird and have done few rides SOLO which were above 4000 kms. Never faced an issue. I feel there is a certain sect of people who just own a motorcycle and consider themselves a rider and comment un necessarily. Just avoid these comments. You are doing a good job and your reviews are also to the point SO KEEP IT UP
Royal enfield loot rahe hain customer ko
Bulu bhai as a Himalayan 450 owner, I would like to say that I love your videos and content. Please keep doing the good work and avoid the noise.
bulu sir himalayan 450 ki conset ke issue k liye keya karna chahiye . mere bike me aya keya karu ? can you suggest something?
iF YOUR BIKE IS MANFR BEFORE aPR 20... GET IT REPLACED FREE OF COST AT RE SHOWROOM..... UPGRADED ITEM IS BEING FIITED TO REMOVE THE ISSUE
@@parag101068 is it really possible?
I own an RE Hunter 350, still i agree to your point. Valid points.. RE should focus on quality
Yes Honda yamaha Suzuki are way better than RE

Is it worth to buy Suzuki gixxer 250 sf now?
It's good bike bro
But one suggestion is that if you buy a good selling bike then it would be better
Because part availablity is a big issue with underrated and low sales bikes.
First time I liked a video which is very very straightforward... Loved it... ❤
EKDAM SAHI BOLA BULU BHAI RESPECT
Bulu bhai i never usually comment, but actually thanks a lot for speaking this out .
This hate against machines , god damn i am damn sure these guys don't even have a bike, csnt understand what we can do .
And yes reliability and good quality in low cost bikes is must takes guts to talk this man hats off !!!!❤❤
RE is C,H,@,prified in India from 2014
Not from 2014.. it was good that time.
Hunter 350 is the real reason now
Ja bhai 500km ka without rest calake ayo...phir condition dekho ..phir wakwas karo....
@@debamandal7720 matlab?

Your emotions are totally justified and honest ! God bless you buddy and I have been watching you from years now and simply have enjoyed your passion ! You are a genuine person! Be rocking always Bulu !
Honda best ❤❤
Agreed Bulu bhai !! These fanboy wars on social media are now a serious nuisance.
RE needs to seriously look at certain aspects of its build. I remember, last year during my ride to Keonjhar with my wife the bolt connecting lock to the frame of my Hunter 350 fell off somewhere and the lock slipped down and wouldn't lock anymore. I was afraid that somebody had actually managed to break the handle lock successfully. Completed the whole trip using chain locks on its wheels and got a disc lock upon returning home. Later, the mechanic told me, the nut connecting the lock to the chassis frame had fallen off somewhere.
I think you are playing critical role in RE Quality improvement..Let's keep it on ignore the criticism
Bullubhai I’m totally agreed with you . We purchased our bikes with our hard earned money and then after some times given problems so you have to speak up and share your experiences facing issues. I m following you since long time you have never defame any bikes but yes when you faced issues with that bike you definitely shared it to your fan following . That’s the best part I like it. 👍🏻
RE fans are worst community.
True I've owned a interceptor before but didn't fanboy Re at all cuz of the number of issues it had with coneset and fuel pump so sold it off finally in 2021 and bought myself a 2016 st675r ..fanboying a brand this hard must be crazy af like the brand feeds you and your family
Beother fan honestly me bhi koi issue nahi hai, yaar hum sab apne bikes ko pyaar karthe hain. Lekin ye jo cheez chal raha hai na ekdum toxic ban raha hai
Ekdum sahi baat. Jo sahi hai woh sahi hai. Full respect. Sir mai first time bike lene ka plan kr rha hun. I like classic 350 but what can be other options, i would be doing city drives but it would be good to have a touring perspective. I have observed that cb 350, speed 400 are viable options. Can you help me ?
One guy in my office bought a royal Enfield classic 350 and he had lots of problems with it. They also opened his engine without permission.
The chapri fanboys need to understand "Owning a bike doesn't make you a rider."
Unfortunately nowadays 80% of users are Chapri mentality.
They will expect pick up from a RE like the RX100 and fuel economy like the Honda CD 100.
Poor fellows.
Apne bahot samjhaya pehle bhi fir bhi ye log bhokte rahega. Let them bark and move on.
I have purchased KTM duke 200, after 1 year I have faced engine start problem, every time when I visit service center for service I have raised the issue but the service centre people did not change the issue part they only update the ICU after 7 days same problem come...I have frustrated with the service centre
Well said bulu bhai....mine classic 350 chassis got broke from conset T section and replaced it buy the new one allmost 70% of the bike parts have been changed during the period off 10 years,😡....now shifted to Triumph scrambler 400x😊
agreed 100 % , life is incomplete without practicality
I was thinking of buying Meteor 350 but now I guess I'll have to take a look into H'ness 350.
Thank you bullu bhai for your POV.
Go n test ride both, coming from a cb350 owner. Don't just eliminate meteor based on one video
My guru, my love Bulu Bhai...... honest & logical....... learnt a lot from you bulu bhai.......
Good stance. Sincerely appreciated you Speaking the truth.
You are my one of the best content creator because you speak about practically. I am your oldest subscriber only for your content.
You're completely right bhai
Bhai, I agree with you. On a side note, I own an interceptor for in the last 2.5 years…no complaints with the bike , but I rode the cb650r, and I’ve fallen in love with it. But it’s something I’ve to really plan hard for, coz I don’t really have any complains with my bike. Love from Bengaluru.
Buluda, hate doesnt suit you. Plz keep being the truest human you always have been, and thats why we love you. Ignore all hatemongers
I respect you Bullu
And I love Honest People.
Rider Community is More Important than any Brand any Model any Product.
Absolutely
Love All
Perfectly nailed it. I have been a RE rider since last 24 years, yes there is problem with quality and RE doesn't get that aspect over all these years!!
I agree with you, I have interceptor bs4 2019. Since buying it is never 100% okay. Kuch na kuch problem usme hona hi Hai, Kitna v theek Karo, I'm frustrated. Chery on top service centre r not skilled enough to rectify and solve the problem quickly.
Superb Bulu Ji 👍 that is reaso I like your content because of your genuine and non -biassed review...Just want a review of triumph speed 400 review and ns400 z how you feel about this bikes
Very very good, ek dam sahi, you do what you want to do this is why I watch you.
Another main issue in every RE bike I have done little research from my end initially engine doesn't have any tapet sound issue, later the engine develops tappet sound it increases with the time, but it doesn't ends here it drastically decreases milage performance and engine life as well.
Right call Bulu bhai, I agree with your point 100%...keep sharing such knowledge voice with us..thanks
I have always admired your unbiased and based on personal experience videos.
Also, theres a lot of people who agree with you.
But usually people with negative opinions voice it.
But there are those of us who are here who appreciate your content.
👍🏻🙂
God bless and all the best !!
Every bike indeed has its pros and cons. I purchased a Hero Mavrick 440 just 2 months ago, and unfortunately, I've encountered multiple issues within this short period. In these 2 months, I've had to visit the service center 12 times. So far, the ECU, throttle body, and gear position sensor have all been replaced. Now the horn, hazard & speedometer is not working. The bike is showing new issues every week. I hope this helps anyone planning to buy the Mavrick 440 to make an informed decision.
