Recently Asked User Questions
- I have done couple of long rides on hness. Easy to do 400kms a day with split seats. Yet to take my meteor out on a long ride (will post once I get a chance to). But I must say short distance drive (50 kms) is more fun on meteor. Meteor has better gearing and gear changes are very smooth.
- I have both , but Hness is more powerful bike get top end easily 130+ whereas Meteor slower than Hness.
- Both are comfortable for long ride, meteor slight edge over Hness CB 350, over all hness is good.
- Well, all the variants are having the same engine and performance the only difference one will spot is in the appearance. Here Fireball is the first variant, this is the most basic variant of the lot, and thanks to its basic equipment levels, it bears the closest resemblance to the erstwhile Thunderbird X 350. Points worth noting here are that the alloys are a plain black design, the tank logo is a sticker, the exhaust is blacked out, and there is no backrest. The mid-range variant is called Stellar, and it gets a chrome-finished exhaust system, a rear backrest, and 3D tank logos. However, it still has to make do with the all-black alloy wheels. On the top is Supernova variant that looks like a pukka tourer straight from the showroom, not least thanks to its large front screen. In addition to this, it also gets smart-looking diamond-cut alloy wheels, dual-tone paint schemes, and contrasting seats.
- The top-spec Supernova variant is more oriented towards touring with a large windshield and more premium seats. In addition to this, it also gets smart-looking diamond-cut alloy wheels, dual-tone paint schemes, and contrasting seats. Stellar is the slightly more practical variant with a cushioned backrest as standard and chrome finish on the exhaust system, fuel injector cover and handlebar. Apart from colour-coded fenders and side panels, this variant also gets 3D logos for an added dose of premiumness. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride for a better understanding of performance and comfort. Click on the link and select your desired city for dealership details.

This bike looking is very nice but not good head light.I think it could have been better.The big problem this bike is it's mileage.Not good mileage in comparison r15.And over pricing bike.But ktm body quality is very good.I hope ktm company will also improve some of these problems.

RC 125Ride quality
Really worth the price the ride quality and it's performance it just awesome.The mileage is good in respect to a 125cc motorcycle i really loved it.It has a high seat which causes trouble for short riders like me i am 5.5 ft tall and mostly struggle while taking you turns and at traffic single stop otherwise every thing is fine.Further i could lower the seat height adjusting suspension setup but the service centre told me not to do it as the ktm company has set it by keeping balanced setup any changes in it can make it worse result in accident.I kept it as it though i am struggling but as time passes.I will get accustomed with it and learn.The tricks and techniques to control the bike smoothly.I will recommend any below 5.5 ft height should avoid choosing the ktm bikes.Though below 5.5 ft height guys can drive the bike but it very defficult to cope up.I got a mileage of 40 kmpl on my daily commits.The bike itself is a beast.I love what ever i have got from ktm at the price point neglecting the height factor.I really love it.

Great motorcycle by royal enfield.I am an owner of this bike who has ridden it for around 1000km and i have to say great work and effort has been done by the royal enfield with the engine refinement, Vibrations, Breaking, Comfort.The tripper on my bike doesn't work.It gets connected just at the very beginning and gives me the direction at that time but after that the directions don't change and i have to stop my bike just to see a different direction on it.This thing pisses me off.But the bike is superb overall.

Perfect value for money.No regret of buying such a wonderful machine.Show stopper in the road while riding this black beauty.Down sides :1.Quality of rear view mirror ( better to have rectangle mirror to cover much scene from behind.I have fixed mirror from bajaj avenger which gives more confident and coverage while on road.)2.No use of navigator, It drains your mobile batter power fast ( its just an ornamental digital clock )3.Poor ergonomics in positioning of horn and the day flash switch.
Lawrence Amalraj few weeks ago -
Good bike with style and appeal.One can easily cruise a long distance.M owing one.I feel light while riding this monster.The best part is its tipper navigation.No need to put mobile and worry for rains and all.The only con which i see is its heating issue.But the mighty 350 cc engine will emit heat.
Anurag Kumar few weeks ago -
I am a proud owner of this bike.As on today, I am completely satisfied with the performance of this bike.The first service cost is just rs.663/-, Which is very low.It gives me a mileage of 37kmpl ( before 1st service), Which just adds me a smile in my face.
