Hello!
This is my 1st post here. Would like to thank the mods for validating my account.
I have been riding my brother's Honda Unicorn for the past 4 years. Now since he has decided to take it with him to Bangalore, I am bikeless!
My daily usage would be an average of 10-12 KMs, but on occasions I would be riding nearly 50KMs to reach my factory (Vasai, on the outskirts of Mumbai). So that would be a combined 100 KMs, although only on occasions (say 4-5 times a month).
I used to love the Unicorn, and would prefer a bike similar to it, or a Unicorn itself. But i do love meself some Royal Enfield. A Thunderbird 350 is what my heart wants, but I need someone to convince me as I have no idea about its FE and riding comfort.
I am 5'9" , weigh 75 Kilos and have an athletic body tending towards the muscular. I have filled the questionnaire that I found in the Stickys. Hope it goes some way in helping people understand my requirement. It is as appended below. Thanks.
1. Budget : 70-80K , but I may get a Thunderbird 350. Need to think hard on that one :D
2. Age : 25 years
3. Height : 5'9"
4. Weight : 75 KGs
5. Intended usage (eg. Office/College commute, Highway runs, Racetrack usage, Weekend recreation riding etc.) : Office + Factory, weekend recreation riding, casual city usage.
6. Fuel Efficiency requirement (approx., if any) I don;t know. 45-50 maybe?!
7. City & Highway percentage usage 75% city usage, 25% highway
8. Approximate Daily / Monthly running Daily average would be around 12 KMs
9. City / Town /Village of residence (so we can evaluate road conditions / traffic / terrain / altitude / OTR pricing) Mumbai
10. Brand / Bike type preference (if any) None!
