2021 Royal Enfield Classic 350 Long Term Reports
Since the weather was perfect for riding, Jared took our RE Classic 350 on some wonderful weekend rides. With nearly 1,200kms now completed, the bike needs to go for its first servicing now.
Spiti Escape: Multistrada V4 S + Defender 90
What do the Ducati Multistrada V4 and Land Rover Defender 90 have in common? Well, both can take you to the far reaches of the planet in a manner and style unlike any other vehicles on sale today.
2021 Royal Enfield Classic 350, Track Test
For 2021, Royal Enfield brought in a completely redesigned and re-engineered Classic 350, and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that it has exceeded all expectations! At the heart of the updated Classic is a new 350cc single-cylinder engine, which still thumps like a 50-year-old motorcycle.
2021 Suzuki Hayabusa, Track Test
The all-new Suzuki Hayabusa, without a doubt, is the most impressive motorcycle we have ridden this year. In fact, almost all jury members believe that it’s one of the best motorcycles they have ever ridden!
Benelli 502C, Track Test
Italian bike maker Benelli’s first 500cc bike in India was the TRK adventure motorcycle, which was followed by the Leoncino scrambler-like bike. And now comes the 502C – Benelli is calling it an urban cruiser.
Yamaha FZ-X, Track Test
To us, it seemed that Yamaha was in too much of a rush to launch the FZ-X here in India. Other than its very peculiar and, dare we say, unattractive design, the FZ-X is essentially an FZ-S in some funky new clothes.
Honda CB500X, Track Test
Some of us were of the view that the Honda CB500X was, perhaps, the motorcycle to beat this year. It is, perhaps, one of the best engines we have ever experienced, not just from Honda but also from other manufacturers. The CB500X makes you feel as if you are riding a 650cc adventure motorcycle!
Royal Enfield Meteor 350, Track Test
As a retro cruiser, the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 offers the most pleasant highway riding experience, and its value for money is incredible. The Meteor’s engine is also one of its biggest highlights, which is the same unit that powers the Classic 350.
Triumph Trident 660, Track Test
The Trident 660 is the smallest and the most accessible bike from Triumph, and it’s aimed primarily at amateur riders. When we first rode it on the beautiful hills of Uttarakhand, we were blown away by its impeccable handling capabilities.
Honda H’Ness CB350, Track Test
The Honda CB350 is perhaps one of the most exciting launches from HMSI this year. It is one of those products that catches the market unaware. The CB350 gets a completely new 350cc single-cylinder engine from Honda, which is also the most powerful in the segment.
