KTM RC 390 vs Royal Enfield Classic 350

Question 1

Q. Which is the best among RC 390, Classic 350 and Himalayan?

Answer

In what terms are you asking?All three are bikes meant for totally different purpose.RC390 is best when racing is a factor to consider. It is not a city bike and certainly does not feel comfortable when riding in traffic conditions. Its best at its job and that is track performance. Classic 350, is best suited to easy riders and is mostly preferred by riders who tend to go for tour aswell. Its old school design is appealing and has its own charm. It certainly cannot be compared with any other motorcycle regarding the performance figures. If you love the classic, then you buy the classic. So it is as easy it can be to decide. If you want to look for performance check other charts.Himalayan is an off road bike, it doesn't mean it can't be ridden on roads! But it is not designed for city riding. So if you are mostly going to ride in the city and off-road is not your kind. Then do not buy this. But if your city roads gives you an off-road experience, then you might consider this bike as the suspension does a great duty.

Answer

Mileage and Daily Commuting: RE Classic 350 (Noise from the head is irritating and not that expected level of satisfaction)Offroad Sports and Commuting: RE Himalayan (A good commuter and adventure driving)Track Racing and Highway Rides: KTM RC 390 (Not preferred for city rides)

Answer

Classic 350 is what I suggest better.. as it cost is less than all.and also good power although there is vibration but it is good.or u can buy Himalayan it's also good. But I will not suggest RC as good for long tours

Question 2

Q. Which one is better Classic 350 or Bullet Standard 350?

Answer

I have been using STD 350 for 8 months now and its terrible ! MY FIRST 6 MONTHS WHERE OKAY OKAY ! BUT AFTER THAT I STARTED TO HEAVY AND LOUD TAPET NOISE (TAK TAK) WHILE ON LOW RPM AND HIGH RPM ! I HAD TO INCREASE MY IDLE RPM SO TO COME OVER AND IT DROPPED MY MILEAGE ALL THE WAY FROM 42-46 TO 30-34 2 ND THE BREAKS ITS ABSOLUTELY SH*T , TYRES GET LOCKED SOO EASILY AND I HAVE FALLEN ALMOST 4 TIMES IN 8 MONTHS. 3RD THE KICKER ! IT WAS COMFY FOR 6 MONTH AFTER THAT I HAD TO KICK NEARLY 10-20. TIMES EACH TIME TO START THE VEHICLE ! I AM HAVING SERIOUS LEG ACHES WHILE ON. BED. 4TH I KNOW IT SOUNDS WIERD BUT THE VIBERATIONS , I HAD TO BOOK AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DOCTER FOR MY PAIN IN THE BALLS DUE TO HEAVY VIBERATIONS ! TRUST ME IT IS REAL , I WOULDN'T SUGGEST YOU TO GO WITH A 1.36 LAKH WORTH STEAL CRAP !

Answer

Classic 350 is a better option if you are ready to put some cash . Bullet standard comes at a lower price than the classic so it has its pros and cons accordingly. Bullet standard comes with slim tyres , single seat and the older look of the bullet.where as the classic 350 comes much good looking due to its split seats and bigger tyres for better road grip . Even the handle and seating comfort differs in both .

Answer

Both are different in there own respective style. Classic has switch start, you can remove the Pillion seat as well, in case if you want to enjoy that single ride feeling, on the other hand standard is kick start which creates problems in city, pillion seat can not be removed. So I would suggest go for the test ride for both and than select

Question 3

Q. What is the difference between Classic 350 single channel and dual channel?

Answer

Single channel means the ABS will work only in front wheels, but in Dual channel the ABS works in both the wheels (front and rear wheels).

Question 6

Q. Which bike will be more better for me Royal Enfield Classic or Jawa Perak for city ride purpose?

Answer

Jawa perak ko chala k dekho !! bobber is for daily commute !! in a way you can do it but no touring also!! harley Davidson k bobbers ko dekhe ho kavi ?? if yes then both r same thing first youtube pe jao bobbers ko dekho kis kaam k liye ye use hota hsi and which type of people uses bobbers !! btw hip hop guys k liye bobber nahi hai !! its metal and rock and roll Indian bike consumers r the most stupidest public !! kavi pu6te hai bobber me extra seat nahi lagta

Answer

Firstly, don't compare Harley with Jawa Perak, even though both are based on a bobber design, both are way too different on specs. RE Classic is a very much city bike and its pillion seat is a sure ad-on. Perak is a very comfortable single seat long ride motorcycle, its a style motorcycle, its use will surely be limited. So if someone wants a good road presence, Perak is the machine.

Answer

It all depends on what one needs. If a person needs a more fuel efficient vehicle, has a need to carry a pillion rider and mostly does city riding, then of course I would put the Splendor before the RE. I am sure the Perak is a great motorcycle for a Lone Ranger with lots of cash and a passion for long rides.
