Hi all,
New joinee here. Have driven bikes for 18 years now. Drove dad's Hero Honda Splendor till 2015 regularly, but have been comfortable driving most - Pulsar, Unicorn, Thunderbird, FZ, etc. Haven't biked regularly since 2015 (as in...on a daily or frequent basis) due to changing nature of my job. Finally in a stable job and want to buy a bike now. Strongly considering a Classic 350, but I would appreciate some inputs given my background -

• Profile: 33 years old, 5'10", 85 kg. On the heavier side but athletic.
• Usage: I commute to office in an office car (with driver). Bike will be more for domestic purposes, weekend intra-city usage and occasional inter-city travel (say within 150-200 km). I enjoy biking whenever I do it but not the Kashmir-Kanyakumari types. Not a die-hard Enfielder either, but I think it is a classy and long-term option. If I get a bike now, will not look to buy again for at least another 10 years. Don't mind spending 1.6 on the Classic 350 but not exactly floating in money. :P

Given all this, in a quandary if I will be able to do justice if I spend 1.6 on an RE. I would appreciate some perspective on -

• Whether it is worth the expense given I'm not going to use it for office commute and usage will be pretty limited to weekend rides locally and the occasional (read not more than 4-5 times a year) inter-city drive.
• If not a Classic 350, would you recommend a lesser expensive but 150+ bike for my sporadic usage? Say a smooth and steady Unicorn or something like that?

Cheers,
Late Biker
