I am from Kerala, In My View royal enfield became famous through the movies, In Kerala especially after dulquer salmans film(one of the famous actor in Kerala) named "NEELAKASHAM PACHAKKADAL CHUVANNA BHOOMI", after the release of film royal enfield spread like a wild fire.Finally I brought Royal enfeild classic 350, If we choose long journey it will be better and comfortable to use Royal enfield but high vibration became unfavorable in viewing through side mirror .it makes spiritual high way ride, It has moderate mileage and cost, The big Tyre of royal enfield avoid the road gripping .In my personal experience its reliability is more and more notifiable service centers . I suggest this to my friends
