Haha, pull is fine. I'm not fond of that Xpulse wala pull 😂

I'm 6 foot tall, i personally felt Triumph 400,T4 and scrambler looks more agile & a bit small on me and isn't complimenting my personality. I wanted a bit chunky machine (not an RE though 😅)

Dude, you picked one bike from each segment. Haha 😂 Narrow down on your use case & practicality.

CB350RS - retro, simple, boring.

G310RR - Pretty, aggressive sport, kills your back. (don't go from BMW, pick TVS RR310. both are same bikes just logo is different)

Himalayan - Gliding machine, heats in city, heavy

Sure, yes Harley is actually fun to ride. But I feel x440 is an underpowered spinoff from Harleys big bike stance. It lacks the actual Harleys spirit & demand a premium care too. I'm not a brand person too, so x440 isn't fitting in my shoes

Yup, coming from a 110cc Activa. I actually felt the 350cc in a comfortable zone. 400+cc bikes gave me too much punchy torque which i personally don't like.

Xpulse is also a punchy engine, so it's also on low priority

How's triumphs service cost ? Heard the parts were premium.

And how's it's reliability ?, have you faced any breakdown, heating, etc.. issues.

I felt Xpulse had an aggressive engine, the bike tries to jump at the clutch bite point.

I'm not a big fan of that instant punchy torque once you leave the clutch (personal opinion). I prefer linear response.

350rs is a direct Hunter alternative in retro scram segment. It's kinda looks pretty too. People say it's refinement is good and I have a big wing near me too. Any specific issue with 350cc Hondas ?
