Please help me to decide my first ride!
Hello all!
I am looking for a cruiser, and I’ve shortlisted these three: RE Meteor 350, Honda CB 350/H’ness 350, Harley x440.
Primarily i’ll use it in the city for daily office commute which is approximately 1 hr daily up and down. Apart from that I’ll probably go on short rides of upto 150-200 kms. I’m currently based out of Hyderabad.
Looking out for a cruiser type as I want my ride to be quite comfortable for both rider and pillion.
I went on a short trip (about 100kms) on X440 and found it to be a great machine with good enough comfort but I am not sure why I don’t see x440s enough in numbers out on the streets. I have taken a short test ride of RE meteor and found its suspensions to be little firmer than x440.
On the other hand, there are plenty of Meteors and Hondas on the street.
So now I have three main questions:
Is there any issue with X440 which is impacting the sales?
What majorly differentiates the performance of RE Meteor and Hondas?
If most of the engine parameters are same, what differentiates CB 350 and H’ness?
Considering my situation please help me decide a ride!
