xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community - View Single Post - [What Bike]: RE Classic 350 or 500? Suggestions Pls

KA18 · 04-04-2010, 12:51 AM

Hi fellow xbhpians,

This is my first post on the community.

I have the same dilemma here.

Should I go for the Classic 500 or Classic 350?

My usage is low, around 20-30 kms/day with around 50-60 kms on weekends.

Money is not factor in deciding between the two.
I maintain and keep my vehicles for very long periods.
I have always dreamed and desired about owning a bullet since a kid. I do not plan to sell my bike. My requirements are:
1. Mileage should be good, but its not very important.
2. Should be easily serviceable
3. Spare parts availability should not be an issue.

Also, I already own a TVS Victor, which is nearly 8 years old, but in mint condition. Should I sell this off as maintaining 2 bikes might be difficult?

From what I've heard, bookings for for the CL350 & CL500 are presently on hold in Bangalore and they say it takes around 6 months to deliver. So, I want to make my decision as soon as possible before bookings are open.

I request experienced Bulleteers to pass their verdict.
