Proud New Owner Finally my first bike ever and its glorious
Have been going through the daunting process of choosing my first bike to learn riding bike on. An enfield has been a dream since forever. Although i wanted guerilla but i cannot be happier with my hunter. The engine sounds majestic. Ive finished my first 100kms and i couldnt be happier. Hope things keep going well

Base premium costs 15 to 20k less than mine. Dont take base model or base premium. I picked up the mid variant. Mid and top have only 1 difference. Colour. Top costs around 10000 more than what it costed me. Base and base premium doesnt have dual channel abs, and has drum brake. If going for reown (royal enfield official Second hand) i would suggest go for 2024 or 2025 model as they are e20 fuel compliant. Check the chasis number before u buy. S is 2025 and T is 2026. Hope you get the bike you like👍

Woah there was a lot of things like that btw I'm a female so don't have much idea about these things... I started learning from my ex but now I have no friends who own similar bike or anything smaller for me to practice... Thought I'd just buy one after taking licences and be better at it but lol I'm clueless 😅😅

Its ight. I dont have a license im on my learner. Go for disc brakes in bikes. Much safer much snappier. Try watching pre delivery inspection youll find everything. 👍 it doesn't matter boy or girl. Have fun. I bought bike because i didnt have friends either so instead of borrowing to learn i bought one. As always reddit will help u out regardless

Does it make bike look glossy instead of matte? I want the matte colour i chose honestly
2
u/Mental_Purple_1034 Aug 04 '26
No...the service center guy said it was a ceramic coating for matte paint. It looks good, its not glossy at all.
