Which is better, Classic 350 vs Bullet 500? I am looking for daily use and occassional long travel.
Performance wise, the Bullet 500 is a step up from its 350cc sibling, offering better pull from low revs, due to the massive torque the engine makes and better cruising speed as well. Whether riding solo, or even two-up, the Bullet 500 pulls cleanly, even in the high mountains and on steep inclines. The 500 will cruise happily around 90kmph and will go up to a top speed of over 120kmph, but the engine doesn't like being revved and maintaining those speeds become stressful, the vibrations creep in and doesn't make it a very pleasant experience. Ridden in its sweet spot and over long hours on the highway, the Bullet 500 returns between 30-35kmpl whereas 350 returns 35–40.
FYI
