    What about the Classic 500 or Classic 350 ? Is the Classic 500 worth a buy at this point of time or there are any revision up for it ? I plan to get the pillon seat removed as it looks really cool with a single seat on.

    I test rode the GT and himalayan today . Really liked the feel of the GT but im very much worried about how comfortable it is ? , i could feel discomfort in the wrist and elbow after a very short test ride.

      Get an RE only if you can spend time and money on regular basis, because you will spend more weekends in a garage rather than riding.
      Get a CBR250R with ABS if you want a able and proven touring bike. It is better than an RE in every physical, mathematical, scientific and logical comparison.
      People have toured to Leh and back on them without any problems.
      I would like to thank my legs for supporting me, my arms for being always by my side and my fingers; I could always count on them.

        After a much deliberation i have decided on getting the Yamaha R3 . Going to book the bike tomorrow ... which color do you guys think i should go for , blue or black ? its looks much sharper in blue and stealthy in black

            I know what i said , but i just fell in love the moment i saw the R3 in real and it felt great to sit on , very comfortable unlike the KTMs and R15

              😀 Happens

              Congrats though.
              Obviously a superb bike. Comfortable cruising, at least compared to most faired bikes
              The saree guard is an eyesore though :P
              In case anyone uses the pillion seat, they're gonna complain (know by experience) 😀

              Happy mile munching!😀👍
