Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which one should I buy Classic 350 or R15 V3?
  • It's upto your needs & taste ,if you love to race on the roads you need as best as pickup you want you can go for R15,& if you love to ride on long tours & wanna enjoy nature you can go for classic 350(comfort & pleasing for hills )
  • Its a way different if your looking for comfort and long rides go for RE if your looking for performance oriented bike which is more track focused and beginning racer go for r15 v3 its the best in that line up
  • Both segments r different. you know personally what you want racing or cruise. if you want race and top speed upper then 100 easily chase for long time without fear of vibration and handling then r15 is the best option. if you want cruise and royalty of top speed with 50 to 80 then go for classic 350 with out fear.

Q. For 6ft tall guy. Is RE Classic 350 good or should go for R15 V3, can you suggest?
  • Having personally used both bikes very intensively, my opinion is that R15 V3 will be uncomfortable due to knee length and also the bike is bit short. For a taller person it will not look good too. On the other side, the Classic 350 is really good choice for person of height 6 feet and also performance is really good. I own 2017 Classic 350 which had no ABS. Still I had not encountered amr major issues at all. Maintenance of Classic 350 is much cost effective and easier than R15. Anyway now both the bikes come with ABS as standard.My suggestion is to go for Classic 350!
  • They totally different bike versions and all most have same maintenance cost looking onto your height you should go for re 350 bt keep in mind this bike requires more care than r15
  • It's better to go for RE 350 and if u r looking forward to performance oriented one please go for r15 v3

Q. Royal Enfield Signals ABS and Yamaha R15 V3 who is the best bike and have good resale value - Classic 350?
  • Sir first of all you should not compare both bikes as the royal enfield is a tourer and R15 v3 being a sports bike. But among those two I would recommend the royal enfield as it has the best re-sale value in the segment. And also provides a mileage of 40 kmpl, which is good for a 350cc bike.
  • Royal Enfield Signals ABS
  • RE has resale value if you have any doubt see in olx and ask any owner of RE bike. because my RE is 2014

    Fun to ride machine 

    I am a happy owner of Yamaha R15S. Although the race riding position intensifies the fun of the riding, on the flipside, it may be a bit hard on the longer ride, especially for a person like me who is procrastinator and who sometimes suffers from backache. Furthermore, while this sporty suspension setup gives the vehicle superior cornering, it also tends to compromise the ride quality, making bumps just a bit jarring to passengers. Furthermore, the smaller fuel tank size requires meticulous planning before embarking on extended rides to prevent fuel exhaustion in isolated areas.

    Timeless Sportiness, Everyday Versatility 

    Yamaha R15S is a true symbol of the timelessness of sportiness; it effortlessly integrates the functionality and adaptability of the urban environment with the cutting-edge racetrack performance. While the small size of its 150cc engine may seem inadequate, the surprising fact is that it gives out a perfect combination of power and efficiency, making it an obvious choice of bike for users who appreciate both speed and utility purposes. Curved fairing design not just is only aerodynamic but also it add a racing faction to the streets.
