  • Cruiser bike upto 2 lacs

    Hi,

    I am planning to purchase my first bike in budget of 2 lacs. I will use the bike as occasional cruising and bike should be easy for Delhi traffic. I am confused between RE bikes and Mahindra Mojo.
    I heard lot of things for both bike. I watched all the reviews read the complete thread.

    Pro:
    If I talk about RE It's name has legacy in it's simple and powerful machine and popular too. If I purchase RE classic today I can see that bike in my garage after 10 years. I am sure RE classic will be with me for ages, I seen RE 10-15yr old and still working. Simple built allow yourself to do some maintenance. It looks great package to me.

    Con:
    But In other side when I see that loud thump which could be good at lower speeds and for short rides but I dont think at speed of 90-100 (whic is the best speed for RE bikes for longer distances) that thump sounds good. According to owners review RE is not reliable machine common problem like oil leaks, clutch wire, false neutral, gear problem, engine knocking sound, vibration in handle etc.

    Second Bike: Mahindra Mojo.

    Pro:
    Looks not very popular I can see so many bikes on road but on paper is far away from RE in every manner smooth engine better power output, No vibration.
    Handling is good for city traffic, better tier all parts are imported, decent built quality. Higher spped of cruising and lot more.

    Con:
    Long term reliability, low city mileage in comparison to RE, complex engine needed skilled technician.


    I am confusied which bike should I go, Please suggest if is there any other bike which I can consider.


    Thanks
    Bhavishya

      Hello Bhavishya

      Welcome to xbhp.
      You have posted the same query in the RE Classic and Mojo threads as well.
      Kindly avoid this practice.
      There are guidelines on 'how to post in What Bike section' which will in order help the members to reply more efficiently.
      In addition there is a thread for 'Choosing a RE', both these are Sticky threads in this very section pinned on the top of threads.
      Kindly go through them. I'm sure it will solve your doubts regarding the RE atleast.



      Cheers.
