Just bought the bike 2 days ago. The engine light is on and brakes are kinda squeaky. I will be taking her for service today but would love to hear some advice for bike maintenance and which riding style is best suited for her. I’m more of an aggressive rider but haven’t ridden her much cause I didnt want to risk it. How should I proceed till the 1st service and is it really necessary to not cross 60kmph till then? Would really appreciate some insights. Thanks!

So I want to really ride it to college daily and it is 15km(one way) and it is mostly traffic and little highway riding.

I have heard that this bike makes a hole in the pocket, is it true??

Thank you in advance🙏

I just booked my first bike and it's a supernova black meteor 350 l added the following options from the
RE apP,
Slumpgaurd
Air fly Evo guard rails
Black seats
Foot pegs
Drag handlebar
Black bar end round mirror
I'm 18(M) and am so excited to get my first bike and ride it l've not ridden much before (mostly just in my building and back roads on my friends bike) but I'm planning on riding this all the time when I'm back home from college any idea how much time delivery takes usually and how I should make sure it's well maintained also any advice on riding gear and riding in general for a beginner like me?

So I got the gt 650 before learning how to ride
(It was delivered way earlier so just bought it home )
I’m learning on my dads splendor
The thing is it’s feeling really heavy and I’m way to scared about it like a little lean while moving it to park or just to move feelings like it’s pulling me down with this bike
How do I build the confidence to ride it it’s just scaring me rn as a newbie!
Also I’m 5.7 60kg I’m skinny won’t like and I tip toe

Still confused between the Guerrilla 450, Himalayan 450, Scram 440 and Triumph Scrambler 400X. Also considering waiting for the Himalayan 750 if it’s worth stretching my budget.
Mostly city rides, highway touring and occasional mountain trips. Budget is 3–4L but can extend for the right bike.
What would you guys pick and why? Especially interested in real ownership experience and maintenance costs.

Hey everyone - USA based. I bought a Classic 350 in summer of 2022 and absolutely love the bike (Halcyon Green). I design custom wildlife and cultural itineraries to India for clients, so I visit every year and fell in love with them while I was in Kerala. I rode a 350 from Kochi to Munnar and honestly had such a blast that I planned on buying one. I always wanted one back in the US, and was thrilled when they introduced the J-series 350 in the US (although wish they offered a 500 or 650 at the time).

I bought the 350 and I absolutely love it - I put the lowride seat and faux seat springs, and it looks like a vintage bike except with modern ABS, EFI, etc. It's a really lovely little bike. My only concern has been it feeling underpowered. I live in Florida and keeping up with traffic is a 55mph+ affair if I'm on the main roads, and it definitely runs out of steam in 5th gear.

With the release of the 650, I thought the 'upgrade' would be an obvious choice. With that said, I test drove one this weekend and I have mixed feelings. The chrome/black paint is beautiful, but I feel like it lost a bit of its charm as a 650. Despite the retro paint scheme, the design of the bike looks way more modern than I had expected. It drove well (noticeably more power at 50mph), but even the lack of the single-cylinder 'thump' had me missing the character of my 350. I actually also felt the finishing wasn't as good as my 350, notably the paint quality on the tank.

Am I crazy, or is the 650 a bit underwhelming aesthetically coming from the 350? I really wanted to love the bike, but it just looks more like a Meteor than a Classic, if that makes any sense. I think I'll stick with the 350, but was curious if anyone else felt the same way.

Thanks!

Got my first full helmet, that too matches my bike's color

Hi everyone,

I have a Royal Enfield Classic 350 Stealth Black and I recently noticed/ended up with several scratches and paint damage.

I’ve attached photos of the damaged areas.

The main damage is:

Scratches on the rear grab rail

Scratches/chips on the front/rear crash guard

Scratches on the clutch lever/handlebar area

Some paint has come off and bare metal is visible in a few places.

I want to fix these properly and make the bike look as close to original as possible.

What are my options?

Also, can the scratches on the clutch lever and accelerator/throttle area be repaired?

I am confused between these two fog lights for my meteor 350, for normal riding in Delhi winters (wherever lighting is not there) and some long rides for the highways. Used google gemini and suggested that 60w (first image) will be counter-productive in Delhi fog, and will have to use a dimmer harness which is quite expensive. I need some user experience which would be more beneficial for me. Also what could be the final cost of the entire setup, if anyone has got them installed and how are they functioning?

Just installed the Powerage pipes from https://motocomotorcycles.com/products/chrome-finish-powerage-short-exhaust-compatible-for-royal-enfield-interceptor-650-continental-gt-650

They sound pretty good and look minimal

Title: Honda CB350RS Rebel Red vs Royal Enfield Classic 350 Medallion Bronze — Which one should I buy?

Hey everyone!

I'm 23M , started my career in IT sector and loved bikes from childhood, now has the opportunity to buy one

I'm planning to buy my first bike and have shortlisted two options:

Honda CB350RS — Rebel Red

Royal Enfield Classic 350 — Medallion Bronze

My budget is around ₹2.5 lakh on-road, and I'll mainly use the bike for office commuting and occasional rides, not frequent long-distance touring.

Here's what matters to me:

Looks: Both bikes appeal to me equally but my family is inclined towards classic

Performance: I want an engine with enough power and feel for everyday riding like everyone says Honda engine is smooth but when i ride i feel.the difference but it doesn't matter like the most to me.

Mileage: Decent real-world fuel efficiency would be great.

Comfort: It should be comfortable in city traffic and on bad roads.

Reliability and maintenance: I want to keep the bike for several years without unnecessary headaches.

Service network: Royal Enfield has a much more convenient service network near me than Honda BigWing. Honda is also not too far but like there is only one Honda showroom near me and 3 Enfield.

I'd love to hear from current owners, especially those who have owned or ridden both.

A few questions:

Which is better for daily city commuting?

How do their real-world mileage and maintenance costs compare?

Is Honda's limited BigWing service network a genuine concern in the long run?

Which has better ride comfort, refinement and handling?

If you were spending your own money, which would you choose and why?

Please share your honest ownership experiences, including the drawbacks of each bike. I'm looking for practical advice, not just brand loyalty.

In the end I want to say that I find both bikes similar and also tell me which looks bigger and bulkier between the two .

My all family members are inclined towards classic and I also like it from childhood but it is very common nowadays that the only concern with it and it will not be a head turner. And also one more thing I have noticed that Honda bikes age really fast in terms of body , not in engine . Like they look old very fast . So if you have it please tell .

Thanks! 🏍️

Is it possible to fall in love with a motorcycle over and over again??
This Interceptor seems to prove that theory, being my commuter and 2nd motorcycle, it doesn’t get used for anything more than commute. But the rare occasion I decide to swap saddles and take this one out for a ride, I come back with a bigger smile and a larger space for it in my heart.
There’s just something magical about this 650 twin, the old world charm, the beautiful character it has, that throaty exhaust and simplicity that Royal Enfield finally got right in 2018.
My Interceptor custom holds a very special place in my heart for two reasons
- my first DIY custom build
- the best Royal Enfield I have owned till date

Just looking for confirmation that a speedo gauge has a 1:1 ratio. Just want to get back on the road asap!

My neighbor is selling his 2021 interceptor 550 dual tone white and red colour on...no idea on ODO he is quoting 2.7lakh for it but i asked for 1.5L and i can go upto 1.75L....the bike looks clean and not.used much it is always in parking lot the watchmen cleans it everyday no mods at all total stock only crash guard is installed...can you help to get best price whats you price if you gonna buy this bike?

Hey

A lot of bike theft occurs in my area. So I'm planning to set up a GPS on a bike. Does that affect any of my warranty or any service-related issues? CLASSIC 350 2025.

We already had int650 cuz the maintenance is more n it's hard to ride it in Bangalore traffic my dad bought me a grr450 but it's mileage is same as int 20.3km/L

This issue occurs intermittently. What might be the underlying cause of this issue?

Everything will work fine, and this will happen all of a sudden and will go away as well. The first time this happened was at a traffic signal while I was riding back home.It happens while riding when you turn the bike off or when it's parked, and when you try to restart the bike, this can happen. It's not happening every time, but now it's happening every now and then.

Well for starters this is going to be my(18m) first bike, which is why I am going for an second, so even if I crash or else the emotional damage wouldn't be that much.

Now the real question is should I get it from RE Re:own or from my local dealer because:

Re-own gives a sense of relief that everything is good as new but there is no classic or bullet on sale where I live

Local dealer gives a better price and has classic and bullet but idk how to know if the bike has any problems.

So what should I see before buying a bike apart from chassis alignment and other accident damage?

Hello guys,

I am planning to do trips on GT650 and looking out for a best top box. Not rounded ones, just squarish ones.

So where can we get a good top box with its stay? Any suggestions?

So my bike's front brake randomly started going till the handle when I used it so I thought the brake fluid/oil must be over but I had only refilled it last year so when I showed it to my regular garage guy who repairs RE's he said that the "brake pump" is damaged and have to change the whole lever which comes around approx ₹2k but in the market I saw that only the brake pump can also be replaced which will cost me less so what should I do ? Should I listen to him and change the brake lever as a whole or just change the "brake pump" from another garage

Looking for the loudest exhaust with the deepest bass for my GT 650. I want that aggressive, thumping twin-cylinder sound, not a raspy or high-pitched note.
What’s the loudest setup available in India? Brand, price, and sound clips appreciated. Not looking for anything subtle
