I'm Indian and there's a huge culture of buying royal enfields in my country. It's like the default bike of any urban upper middle class young college graduate.

But I also like the Kawasaki w800. I like the design a tad bit better than any re models...

W800 costs 5 lakh rupees more because of import duties. I could get a decent mid-sized commuter sedan car made by Tata or Maruti, for the price of a foreign made w800.

sorry anon...

Of those two I would go w the Kawasaki.

Take the SAAARpill and just get a bullet/classic 500. Nothing compares.

Fuck J series. And also soulless jap bikes

>>29048622
Get the Royal Enfield, sure the w800 is nice but you're proud of being Indian right? REs are actually nice now and that's coming from an American biker. I'm born and raised American but also half Japanese, the only bike I feel is true to my character are Hondas that were built in Marrysville Ohio, be proud of what you are as much as who you are

What the fuck is a lakh? Speak English.

You're an Indian, buy the Indian bike. The W800 is just a Japanese copy the old Bonneville while the Bullet actually has some heritage to it. I would have bought an Enfield if they sold the bullet 650 here. If you're going to blow car money on a bike, get something actually cool and not a souless jap copy of a dead British brand. Like a Ducati or Harley or something.

Not the new Bullet. Fuck no. It has none of the shit that made the old Royal Enfields special. No sound, no kick, no character. The engine looks soulless, the dashboard is ugly as fuck, and the whole “classic” design feels shitty. People bought a Bullet because it was a Bullet. It had its own thing going on, and nothing else really compared. Now it’s just another bike. You can buy any other bike in that category, like that Honda 350 or whatever. It’s like a Bugatti without the W16. What’s even the fucking point? It doesn’t even get you as many girls as the old one did

local market RE isn't as good as export RE.
That being said
>>29048622
Do they sell the 650 Interceptor in India, or is that export only? It's sweet.
>>
>>29048622
Why not an Indian, you can appear recursive. Ideally go with triumph. Aren't most of those made in India anyway?
>>
get the RE, they are allegedly easier to work on yourself

>>29048622
>I'm Indian
>which vehicle should I get
obviously the one with the loudest horn.
>>
>>29048622
>5 lakh rupees
>Tata or Maruti
what

either way, if you can get your hands on a w800, get that. its engine is the last of its kind and the end of an era. they will only increase in value

Get the interceptor 650 it's far superior than any other RE Rust bucket

So..
Has Royal Enfield corrected their self-disassembling crankshaft issues (among other QC problems) yet?
>>
>>29048622
The RE Shotguns look pretty sweet IMO
I've also heard good things about the Triumph 400 series bikes

There's something weird about seeing an Indian make an /o/ post that save from actually mentioning being from there I wouldn't have been able to distinguish from any other /o/ what should I buy threads

They have to repackage their money into units that make sense. Nobody wants to hear about a cheapo Royal Enfield of all things costing a bajillion jeetbux.
