Selecting the right bike would depend on certain factors such as your budget, preference of the segment, performance figures, features required, etc. The 2021 Classic 350 is an all-new bike! Everything from the motor and frame to the underpinnings and ergonomics has been reworked. Coming to the bike’s hardware, the new Classic uses a new fatter 41mm telescopic fork up front and a twin shock setup at the rear. Even the brakes have been updated to Bybre units at both ends which clamp on to a 300mm front and a 270mm rear disc brake. Moving onto the ergonomics, the Classic 350 features a new rider and pillion seat with thicker cushioning which improves ride comfort. The handlebar sits taller, offering an upright riding posture. Coming to the styling, the bike looks pretty similar to the outgoing model, however, it's been cleverly redesigned. On the other hand, the Benelli Imperiale 400 is a wholesome package that offers a vibe-free motor full of character. Its comfortable riding posture and well-balanced suspension setup add to its riding experience. Having said that, the recent price hike due to the BS6 update has made the Imperiale 400 a rather expensive proposition. Whereas, the Jawa uses a short-stroke, performance-oriented engine with a 6-speed transmission. Sure it’s fast, but it lacks the retro laidback charm of an under the square engine, something we think is crucial for a buyer in this segment. The 293cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine generates 26.51PS of power and 27.05Nm of torque on the Jawa. Moreover, we would suggest you take a test ride before making the final decision.

In the neo-retro tourer segment, the aforementioned options offer a lot to its customers and selecting one would depend on your budget, ride quality, availability of services, seating comfort, performance, etc. In our opinion, the Benelli Imperiale 400 is a wholesome package that offers a vibe-free motor full of character. Its comfortable riding posture and well-balanced suspension setup add to its riding experience. Having said that, the recent price hike due to the BS6 update has made the Imperiale 400 a rather expensive proposition. On the other hand, the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 offers healthy fuel efficiency, 10,000km oil-change intervals and 5000km/6 month service inspections which make it more endearing. The lack of oil leaks, or missing parts over our 800km stint makes the package more joyous. However, the Meteor doesn’t make a bigger and bolder promise of its own by way of plush ride quality, a greater sense of richness or, crucially, better cruising ability. Lastly, the Honda Hness CB350 has the old-school charm with modern sensibilities, a prominent thumper exhaust note and is the most affordable bike in India to get traction control. The powerplant displaces 348cc, is air-cooled, fuel-injected and has a counterbalancer to minimise harsh vibrations that one usually associates with such a motor. With peak torque rated at 30Nm, the CB350 is the torquiest motorcycle in the class. For a better understanding of compatibility and riding comfort, we would suggest you to take a test ride.

I think CB 350 vs Meteor is a good decision, Himalayan has got tube tyres and if it's substituted by tubeless it's a good one. I've Honda 350 brought yesterday.

I don’t think there is anyone in India who provides alloy wheels for Imperiale. Also, needless to say Benelli will never provide it. So I don’t think we have option here to choose and we have to stick to spoke wheels only.
If I retain the spoke wheels do we have any other ways to face the challenges coming with using a spoke wheel for touring
