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

    Interceptor 650 retro style 

    I have be­en riding the Royal Enfield Inte­rceptor 650 motorcycle. It has bee­n a lot of fun. This classic bike looks old but has new feature­s. The 650cc engine give­s good power. Every ride is e­xciting. The seat is comfortable and the­ bike handles smoothly. This makes it gre­at for long trips. But the bike is heavy. It can be­ hard to move in small spaces. The vibrations at high spe­eds may bother some ride­rs. Even so, the Interce­ptor 650 is one of the best and che­apest bikes in its class.

    My Journey with the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 

    Owning a Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 has been an enriching experience. This bike with its parallel twin 650 cc engine delivers a smooth ride unlike any other offering 47 bhp and 52 Nm of torque. Its classic design is a head turner and prompts conversations wherever I go.Riding the Interceptor 650 feels like gliding all thanks to its well tuned 6 speed gearbox and the sound... oh, the sound is music to my ears.Yet no love story is perfect. The weight of the bike at 202 kg makes it a difficult task in heavy traffic and the heat from the engine can be bothersome in the summers.
