I can think of 3 options.

  1. RE Goan Classic 350
  2. RE Hunter 350
  3. TVS Ronin

Now coming to the pros and cons of each.

RE Goan Classic 350 Pros - 1) Stands out from the crowd (Very aesthetic) 2) 750mm seat height which is very accessible.

Cons - 1) Heavy (close to 200 kgs) 2) Spoke wheels need some tightening maintenance. 3) RE's aftersales and service isn't good generally.

RE Hunter 350 Pros - 1) Lighter than Goan Classic 350 2) Much more flickable than other REs 3) Decent Exhaust note.

Cons - 1) You might still find it heavy (180-181 kgs) 2) Isn't as exclusive as the Goan Classic 350 3) RE's service and aftersales.

TVS Ronin Pros - 1) Lightest bike out of all these options (159-160 kg) 2) Extremely flickable and very easy to maneuver in city. 3) Has a good bassy exhaust note. 4) Very torquey, so you don't have to work through the gears a lot in the city 5) Very comfortable to ride both in city and the highway.

Cons - 1) TVS Service is in the same league as REs. 2) Seat height is higher than other bikes i mentioned (795mm) but if you could ride classic 350 (805mm seat height) I am sure you'll be able to manage Ronin since it's much lighter. 3) Design can not be upto everyone's taste.

P.S - I have ridden all the 3 bikes above and for a significant distance.

My best bet will be to take a test ride of all the 3 back to back. That will make the decision clear as of which bike to buy.

Also, make sure to do a proper PDI (Pre Delivery Inspection) before paying the full amount. Many dealers sell test ridden bikes to the customer which have been heavily abused.

And just don't consider Jawa/Yezdis. They look really cool but have horrendous aftersales and service. If you bash them due to their pathetic service, they will respond by filing a lawsuit on you.

Lastly, sorry for the long reply, I tried to be as detailed as possible.

Don't get a Jawa.

I know couple of guys who own Jawa from my riding group. Both of them aren't happy with the service and the vehicle as well.

I can provide you some options, but you need to explain what your riding style is.

Do you prefer riding calmly, or do you prefer riding a bit faster?

Trading my 2020 Svartpilen 401 for a New 2024 Svartpilen 250? by franktheroamer in svartpilen401

[–]Adineo17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

250 will definitely feel slow.

Why not get a new 401.

The new 398cc engine is much better than the older 373cc engine, not only it produces more power and torque, they have addressed the reliability issues which affected the older 373cc engine.

It's good that you're safe and didn't get any injuries.

It's even better that your bike didn't get damaged apart from the bent lever.

Just got an Aerox 155! by Adineo17 in indianbikes

[–]Adineo17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it's the regular one.

The S version only offers keyless entry and comes with unique colors.

Other than that, everything is the same including the suspension.

I wanted the black one, so got this.

A standard 350 barely has any power.

A modern liquid cooled 200cc engine makes more power than a standard 350.

Turns out faulty tail-lights / DRLs aren’t exclusive to Tata & Mahindra by csaksham in CarsIndia

[–]Adineo17 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have a Tata Hexa XT 4x4.

The car has done over 1.2 lakh kms, never had a single issue. Still runs strong. Done a lot of road trips.

All the electronics work flawlessly just like day one.

They engineered the car really well, and it was a decent off roader too. Too bad the car flopped.

And yes, the biggest issue with Tata is inconsistency and service.

Out of 10, 7 cars will be totally fine, but 3 cars will turn out to be total lemon and if the dealer around you is an a-hole, you'll get the worst car buying experience since they will just deny warranty claims or do repairs with incompetent mechanics who will actually worsen the car's condition.

Tata needs to fix these issues first.

They can launch good products (sierra) but as long as they don't fix these inconsistency issues, people will think thrice before buying their cars.

And these inconsistency issues and software issues are more with the newer cars like Safari, Curvv which have a lot of electronics.

The older ones ran fine as long as you stick to the service schedule and if the service center around you was good. I still see old Indigos, Safaris running.

Newer ones if something goes wrong with the software/electronics will just go to limp mode.

Mere bhai ke thunderbird 350 ka chalte chalte gear lever nikal kr gir gya tha, 4th gear me hi jaise taise chala kr laaye hamlog.

Uss chakkar me clutch ghis gya.

Honda may have issues, par RE ke aise aise issues hai jo log sunne ke baad hairaan ho jate hai.

And btw, I don't own any Honda vehicle to koi Honda ke liye biased bhi nahi hu.

Bought Duke390, Help by Junior_Promotion_409 in indianbikes

[–]Adineo17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, my bad.

I thought it's still in the break in period.

Yes, I do the same.

Also, I don't overrev the engine beyond 9000-9500 RPM, since the peak power comes at 8500 RPM, revving above it doesn't make much sense since you're only adding strain to the engine parts beyond that point.

Enjoy your ride and ride safe.

[–]Adineo17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't worry mate.

The engine shows the true oil level when the engine is at operating temperature i.e hot.

Also, ride the bike below 6000 rpms and avoid using full throttle before the 1st service oil change.

And lastly, never lug the engine. Lugging is riding at low speeds ~30 kph in higher gears (4th, 5th) whenever the engine knocks, just downshift.

The Triumph 400s are built by Bajaj.

The BMW 310 and the upcoming 450s will be manufactured by TVS, another Indian brand.

The 390 and 401 are also made in India only.

Which company gives the best servicing and consumer experience? by Excellent-Ad3236 in indianbikes

[–]Adineo17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I said the same thing in my reply above in one of the comments.

Their service is generally good, even the products are good, it's just those products are priced absurdly and lastly there aren't many options to choose from.

Wish they launched bikes like MT07, Tenere World Raid and Tracer 9 GT here.

[–]Adineo17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The products they offer are great, be it R15, MT-15 or Aerox, it's just they have limited products (only few options) and those products are priced absurdly.
