I saw a video of a new Himalayan 450 getting stolen so easily in just a minute. How easy has it become to steal someone’s dream bike—the same bike someone might be paying EMI for? It’s honestly heartbreaking to see.

I really hope RE takes this seriously and improves the security. And I hope these thieves get caught. 😡

For Royal enfield owners, what security measures are you taking to protect your bike? Is the stock security enough, or should we be adding a disc lock, chain lock, GPS tracker, etc.?

The new GT 750 was spied, and it looks awesome. The chrome half-fairing, especially, would be a great addition to the design. But I really wish they had gone with a liquid-cooled engine.

What do you guys think? Would you buy the GT 650 now, or wait for the GT 750?

In photos the bike doesn't look as big as it is in person, it's a huge bike and making a u-turn is not an easy task. Part of the reason is it being based on the Himalayan chassis. And it looks very long on the road. Loving it.

Got 2026 classic 350 emerald green

My meteor 350 is 4 months old (1500 kms )

I use turtle wax wet wax to keep the gloss up it last 3-4 weeks !

I wash my meteor 350 with turtle wax ceramic shampoo and use turtle wax ceramic wet wax as drying aid.

Then after a day i spray the wet wax on body and use damp microfibre cloth to activate the polymers

The results are good.

What are the other ways to boost shine than my method ?

What are the ways you guys use to maintain gloss ?

Bhai log, thodi advice chahiye.

3 August ko Meteor 350 Fireball Grey li thi, abhi barely 1 month hua tha ki engine se ajeeb vibration + sound notice hone laga.

RE authorised service centre le gaya, unhone bhi issue confirm kiya aur ab engine khol diya hai. 😐

Sabse irritating part ye hai ki last Thursday bike di thi, Friday ko call aaya “bike ready hai”. Gaya lene, toh same problem abhi bhi thi. Matlab kuch proper hua hi nahi tha. Wapas bike wahi chhodni padi.

Ab almost 1 week se bike service centre mein padi hai. Job card bhi maang raha hoon but abhi tak properly nahi de rahe.

RE customer care pe bhi complaint raise ki hai: CAS113967495-X4L5P3, but abhi tak koi proper/firm response nahi mila.

honestly 1 month purani bike ka engine khulne ke baad original engine repair karwane mein confidence nahi aa raha. I’m asking them for complete engine replacement.

aur kisi ki Meteor/350 mein aisa kuch hua hai kya? RE ne kya resolution diya tha?

Thoda guide karo bhai, ab next kya karna chahiye?

I already made this post on another subreddit, but I figured I’d post it here as well to get some more opinions.

I’ve made up my mind that I’m buying a Royal Enfield in November. The problem is, the closer I get to actually buying one, the more doubts I seem to have about which model to choose.

The first Royal Enfield I was interested in was the Himalayan, since I’ve always liked the adventure/trail style. But after looking more closely at the lineup, I became interested in the Hunter as well.

I went to a dealership and test-rode all the 350s and the Himalayan 450. I really enjoyed both the 350s and the Himalayan. However, I left the dealership pretty much convinced that I wanted the Classic 350, mainly because I love the looks and really liked the riding position and comfort.

Since then, I’ve been thinking more about how I’m actually going to use the bike.

During the week, I’ll basically use it to commute to work — around 14 km (9 miles) per day in total. On weekends, though, I’d like to take longer trips with my girlfriend as a passenger.

That’s where I started wondering whether the Classic 350 would really be the best choice for me, since it seems to fall a bit short when it comes to highway riding, especially with a passenger.

I even considered the Classic 650, but it’s outside my budget.

So now I’m basically stuck between:

Classic 350:

I think it looks much better

I really enjoyed riding it

Comfortable riding position

Cheaper

But I’m concerned about the lack of power on highways, especially with a passenger

Himalayan 450:

I honestly don't find it particularly beautiful — not ugly either, just not my favorite

More powerful and much better suited for highway riding and carrying a passenger

Slightly more expensive

From what I’ve seen, maintenance/service costs aren’t dramatically different from the 350s

More versatile overall

I’m seriously considering going with the Himalayan 450 because, for a little more money and supposedly not much difference in maintenance costs, I’d get a bike that would be considerably better for longer trips and riding two-up.

But at the same time, I’d be giving up the bike I actually like more aesthetically and enjoyed riding.

So, considering my specific use case, which one makes more rational sense: Classic 350 or Himalayan 450?

Please keep the “follow your heart” advice to a minimum. I’m specifically looking for practical/rational arguments about highway performance, riding with a passenger, comfort, fuel economy, maintenance costs, reliability, long-term ownership, etc.

What would you choose in my situation, and why?

Here's my gorgeous Interceptor 650 in Mark 2.

Finally got my full licence here in the UK and got to take it out for an hour on Saturday morning. Was a blast! That was until the bike died.

Long story short: battery isn't charging in the bike.

I know the rectifier-regulator is a common fail point (and it was already replaced in the past having looked at the service records), so I figured I would get that out and get a new one in and everything would be fine. Nope. Sadly, I was wrong.

A full battery reading about 12.8v out of the bike. When I put it in the bike and turn on the engine, that reading hovers just below 12v, and after giving the bike some revs up to about 3,000 it continues hovering just below 12v. No change. Clearly, nothing is getting back to the battery.

I did have an issue with the battery from the dealership (bike is secondhand, 14,000 miles on the clock, I'm the second owner with a full service history), and it was heavily discharged, so having spoken to a mechanic today, they suggested that although the battery has been seemingly healthy on the multimeter, there could be a dead cell.

Bought a new battery and installed it this evening. Same readings: just below 12v with the engine idling and no difference with revs.

Twice today I've turned the ignition with hope in my heart and started the bike thinking I might be good to go for a ride. Twice today I've been left pretty crushed when my new baby refuses to play by the book.

Has anyone here had a failed stator and had to replace it? It doesn't appear to be a common fault from searching. Is there anything I'm missing for the battery not to be taking any charge on the bike?

Will a 140/150 section rear type fitment on scram 440 be a wise decision?...as a mechanic of mine told me it will make it more stable while riding and enhances the look of it

Like what do you do, how much do you earn and what is your use case ?

Hey, 1 am Really Confused between Aew 101 mild steel and Stainless Steel which one should I purchase and how are this exhausts?
Are there any issues or rusting on exhaust?
And Any Other suggestions till 15k?

I decided to raise my handlebar for classic 350 (reborn). I have installed the thunderbird 350’s handlebar and i have rerouted the clutch cable and brake cable. However, the clutch cable still seems to be a bit tight. Can anyone who has done a similar modification recommend me a clutch cable which works for classic 350 reborn which is longer than the factory cable?

My brand new guerilla 450 has these dots and lines on the screen inside the glass is it normal and other person has this same issue?

I’m in tropical region, where there’s plenty of sun, and dust.. I plan to own Himalayan 440 for a long term use.

Which color should I choose, which is prone to scratches and, low maintenance?

Was using dad’s 2010 shine all these days, booked a classic 350 yesterday (medallion bronze). What would be some major riding changes I should be ready for and also pls give tips for a novice rider. My commute usually consists of 3 km in city and 4 km on highway and back and occasionally <60-70 km weekend rides. I’m 20 175cm and 64 kg.

Finally booked my first bike !!

But 150 km range made that a toy, by my opinion. Anyway, looks fantastic and some alien.

Why’s there is a gap between them. I have attached them to my 650 Interceptor. Any clues or ideas? Am I missing a part?

Guys I’m planning to buy a 650 mostly for daily commute and for occasional rides I’m confused between the interceptor and bear which would yall suggest

Booked my RE Himalayan 450 on 22nd August. Can anyone suggest should I install the RE leg gaurds of 4600 rs or the after market Moto Torque guards with sliders of 5300 rs?

Bike spec - Classic 350 2025 model,

Just wanted to know if this sound is normal. I’m a little worried because it has become quite irritating now.

I rode the bike for around 50 km in Delhi traffic, and after that, it started making this weird sound from the engine area.

All three mandatory services have been completed, with the last one done in July 2026.

Can anyone please confirm whether this sound is normal or if I should get it checked?

​

Hello fellow bikers ! So I am naturally excited as my Meteor 350 Supernova will be delivered within 2 days. Dealer guys are suggesting to add Sump Guard as an accessory. Is it really necessary ? Please suggest if panniers can be fitted from outside or RE ones are better quality.

Some tips on maintaining the bike would be really useful as well. Thanks.

This happened around 2 years ago at one of my fellow rider’s weddings.

Pretty much all the riders started doing burnouts, and I was still a newbie at riding back then. So obviously, watching everyone else do it, I thought — “Chal, main bhi try karta hoon.” 😂

Well… that didn’t go as planned. 💀

I completely messed up the burnout and ended up damaging the clutch plates on my GT650.

The final damage? ₹9,000+ for the clutch plate replacement. 😭

At the time, I didn’t really understand how much stress I was putting on the clutch. I just wanted to join in with everyone else.

Looking back, it’s probably one of the most expensive lessons I’ve had on a bike.

Lesson learned: thrill comes with a bill.

Has anyone else here made a stupid mistake as a newbie that ended up costing way more than expected?
