          • just a question to all classic owners :
            my 500c is producing a kit kit sound when it is idling but it goes away as i accelerate. The sound is like of a spoon being knocked in a empty utensil .
            So do u guys experience this or i am alone ?
            If any body wanna share knowledge, he is welcome!!

                      This is common for any bike to experience that sound at idling..!!
                      No issues..!! Even smaller capacity bikes also experience those sounds..!!

                          • Hey guys
                            I am thinking of getting a classic 500 from Dhone automobiles Pune.
                            I have to ride to college around 23 kms away one way every alternate day or so. In a day my total mileage would be around 35-50 kms.
                            Should I get the 350 or 500? any advice in this regard is appreciated. Thanks!

                              not much difference in mileage.
                              dont read reviews at different websites or mags, just test drive both n which looks more satisfying to u, go for that coz maintenance is not a issue in this new classic engine , either 350 or 500.

                              • Thanks for the reply.. They say the waiting period is 6 months
                                One more thing the slanted silencer is for off-road purposes only so will cops catch me and ask for a fine?
                                coz that one thumps like a real bull the new silencer isn't as exciting.
                                Also how much mileage can one expect in the city? is the bike tougher to ride than lighter bikes? coz i have a HH Passion plus its tough on my back im 6 feet tall and 90 kgs .
                                Thanks
