      Royal enfield classic 350 model review after driving 50000 kms

      2 years ago


      Pallav Tyagi

      - Previously rates were good but nowadays its too much expensive as compared to performance
      - comfortable to ride on long route good grips on road
      - good look compared to other cruise bike of this price range.
      - service & maintenance is way too high as you have to pay service charge for each part individually which sometimes higher than the actual part cost
      - must buy bike for cruise experience but if you are low on budget don't buy because maintenance is too high
