calling bike experts for help
hello everyone. I am 5.7 feet, average weight with my daily commute of around 20 kms in heavy city traffic and rarely on highways. As pillion seat should also be comfortable and the bike should be above 200 cc ( not looking for sports bike) I am considering Electra 350, Classic 350 and thunderbird 350X but due to reading a lot of negative reviews of TB 350 i crossed out TB 350X so left with only these two choices . so kindly suggest which one should i go for in terms of riding quality, low maintenance and mileage.Tags: None

Re: calling bike experts for help
Agree!! U dont need an expert for this!! Although for 20 kms per day u dont need that better a mileage !! So just test drive and decide on your own!!Originally posted by hamadryad View PostNo need to be sarcastic my friend.
It's just that RE and terms like good mileage and low maintenance don't go hand in hand.

I like this.Originally posted by ManmeetSharma View PostSir Also try Avenger 220 both Street and Cruise .
Seat can be modified.
These might Tick all your points.
Avengers is both more comfortable and more modern than the RE, you could give it a try. Though if your heart is set on the Enfield no matter what we say, it's not gonna change your mind, so take a test ride and decide for yourself.

Dont get offended bro,the moderator is just being sarcastic on the point you said thatOriginally posted by ashishjvan View PostThankyou for such a knowledgeable reply.
You want a bike with low maintainence and you shortlisted an RE, by the fact that everyone knows that RE is higher in maintainence compared to any other bike in its class.

Different bikes work for different people. Riding is not about horsepower or electronics or top speed.Originally posted by Zapps View PostI meant those who go for RE blidly
Riding is about the connection you have with your bike, like music, metal relaxes me and my brother thinks it's noise.
You gotta respect both.
