Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Yamaha FZS-FI V3 and Hunter 350 which is better to buy?
  • HUNTER 350
Q. Which is the best choice: Hunter 350 or Honda Hornet 2.0?
  • Both bikes are good in their own forte. The Royal Enfield Hunter 350 is aimed at attracting new and younger riders to the brand. And thanks to its styling, compact proportions, and friendly nature, it does that pretty well. Royal Enfield has nailed the pricing of this retro roadster, making it more affordable than some premium small-capacity motorcycles. Considering the pricing and the product, Royal Enfield clearly has a winner in its hands. On the other hand, Honda Hornet 2.0 is a very likable motorcycle with great handling dynamics and a frugal engine. The presence of bits such as the USD fork and LED lighting gives it that premium feel but the lack of engine excitement does put a damper on spirits. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your city and brand accordingly for details.
Q. Which is better, Royal Enfield Hunter or TVS Ronin?
  • The Royal Enfield Hunter 350 is aimed at attracting new and younger riders to the brand. And thanks to its styling, compact proportions, and friendly nature, it does that pretty well. And to top it off, Royal Enfield has nailed the pricing of this retro roadster, making it more affordable than some premium small-capacity motorcycles. Considering the pricing and the product, Royal Enfield clearly has a winner in its hands. On the other hand, The Ronin is surely a brave new step for TVS. But despite the premium features and hardware, it does not entirely qualify as a jack-of-all-trades. It’s a well-rounded urban motorcycle dispatching city commutes with ease, but on the open road, it lacks oomph. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your city and brand accordingly for dealership details.
