So now Classic 350 was sort of shortlisted, I wanted to have a deep comparision with Bullet Electra Twinspark for a final decision... and had fixed myself to book a Royal Enfield on 14th April.
Classic 350 is a true Classic Design with all the goodies like
Powerful Headlight 60/55 W halogen compared to Electra's 35/35 W Halogen
Excellent Maneuverability because of its 18" rear wheel compared to Electra which has 3.25x19" tyres at both wheels
On looks front Classic 350 with its design & single seat scores high
With all these in my mind, you will be surprised to learn that I booked a Bullet Electra Twinspark on April 14th at Classic Motorcycles, Chennai, let me tell you why. I visited the showroom again on the day by evening, saw both the models very carefully and I know me well, if I take a Classic 350, I would surely change its seating, for comfort is something which I wouldn't compromise on and I was not sure how it would fit the cosmetic appeal of Classic 350 moreover I always enjoyed the Machismo Type handlebars, so I might change the handle bars even..... so again the appeal comes to play
Whereas Electra Twinspark with its plain look is always better to accommodate modifications and I don't have any problem with its plain looks, yup I have a problem with its headlight power but have studied that the headlights can be upgraded to better ones. On tyres I would have preferred a bit more wider tyre at the rear say something at least like 3.50 x 19" but have decided that will learn a bit more on tyres and will upgrade, if necessary, anyways both the headlight and tyre upgrade will not give more than minor cosmetic change....Hence Booked a Enfield Electra Twinspark
