What’s worse than RE? RE fanboys 😅😅
Fanboys: 😂 you are desh drohi. Don't talk anything about RE.
Sounds similar to andbhakts and chutiyabhakts of political parties 🤣🤣
Hahaha.. I own an RE. And I hate RE..
Most appropriate description! Fan boys are way beyond worse than the product! Product may turn less threatening compared to those rowdy fan boys!!!😂
@saurabhtewari9920 I am 56, have had 3 RE products : Bullet (1994-1997), Bullet again (2006- 2016) and Himalayan 411 (2018- 2022). First one was simply terrible and it was belonging more to the guarage than to our parking lot. Second was somewhat better fortunately (purely luckily) and the third one was again replete with all sorts of issues piling up my frustration with RE products (but we hardly had any other option if we wanted to ride other than 100-150 cc bikes then. My father started with 1974 made Yezdi 250, till 1994. I drove it between 1986 and 1994. That was built like a gun and hadn't failed us ever. I couldn't love any other bike more than old Yezdi 250. Last RE product Himalayan 411 made me realise forever that RE is off the shelf for us. Now, we have multiple options, ranging from Triumph, Suzuki, Honda, KTM etc. Now gunning for 2025 KTM 390 for continuing the riding sojourn. No RE again, ever!!!!😡
RE depends on quantity not quality. Kitna loha dal sakta hain dalo😂😂😂
par welding thik se nahi karo😂
@@tanaysarkar6406 quality soro vai, sukar karo ki welding kya hain. Woh log toh rasi se v baandh k de sakta hain koi gaurantee nahi.🤣
I think the welding joints are weak....or not joint properly ....thats why crack from load area...
I'm glad and happy that I bought 390adv last year..
In 2014 I had 2 options the newly launched KTM 390 duke and second was the classic desert storm. I went with my heart cuz I had been obsessed with RE. Feels bad that RE left such a huge design flaw in the Himalayan 450. Crash Guard or not it is a flaw and RE has to accept it. I upgraded to a 390 ADV last year and have been extremely happy with it.
Me waiting for 2025 KTM ADV390 with LC4c new engine and few more features🥲❤
I have RE thunderbird 350 BS4. Though i didnt face any major issues. But looking at all those videos made me decide i aint gonna buy an RE bike anymore. i am gonna move straight to KTM ADV.
@@abhijeetchavan13Yep, I might go for it too.
@@_P_T_H_ Here I too owned a Thunderbird BS4 model I faced many problems with wiring and not crossing 80 kmph during certain times. I bought a Mahindra Mojo BS6 and now I am happy with my motorcycle. That Thunderbird was a headache I must admit.
Bulu bhai , Main problem with RE is they don't improve or upgrade their bike during batch production.
True
RE has i am superior attitude they will not accept flaw in Himalayan 450 as they did before for other bikes. People are buying RE because of low price. Actually Chasis breaking is very serious flaw. Just dont buy RE bikes and be safe.
I cant imagine going for a ride on Himalayan 450, and bychance suddenly chassis broke on a down hill lane leading you straight down 500 ft below until you take your last breath and die.
Re is not a cheap bike it is 3.5lac rupees
@@Trainlife12 average loha vale ka comment
RE is not cheap by any cost... In the contrary it is overpriced. The price of Classic 350 should not be more than 1.5 lakh if quality is to be considered.
I was patiently wait for something to happen to 450 himalayan. And these happen just like pervious bike.
Thank God I didn't buy this bike out of excitement. 😊
I sold my himalayan n bought vstorm 250 now i ride with peace of mind fully relaxed i think re is a shit co they dnt think abt riders n their safety
But that not an off roader did you comsider buying yezdi scrambler instead?
Bought an xpulse recently very happy that people are finally coming to their senses and buying good bikes like the vstrom sx
Bakwas manufacturers hai RE ……long long time se …..lowest quality
Now I know why people buying RE need broad service center network.. So that they can keep their bikes parked there. 😂
😂😂
Correct
😂
Thank you, @Bulubiker , for 3:01 highlighting our video . Right now, the bike is at the showroom undergoing R&D, and Royal Enfield is also requesting us to take down the video
Dont take down the video, otherwise these companies will not learn their lessons.
Don't take it off, bhai.
Future RE enthusiastic logon ko acha product danae mae RE pressurised hongae. And u will the Hero's.
Don't take it down bro. Just think like this would you want to know about this if your were about to buy the bike or not? Be like bulu, speak your mind. Don't hide a brands fault.
😢
what happened to your bike
Big media people and youtubes are blaming the victim and no one is questioning the company. So thank you for what you're doing
I was not sure about re450 and finally I bought triumph400x
That's the best decision ❤

I had 2-3 very nasty falls on my avenger 220. Crash guard was bent but there was never a scratch on the chasis. RE bikes r definitely of poor quality as compared to bajaj.
I think it's an alloy issue on the frame, they don't know what kind of combination to use for better stress tolerance on chasis they used their normal frames instead of alluminium, steel etc.
Excatly my averger 220 is awsome
Royal Enfield is a pathetic company,they doesn't adress customer request and reviews, I had one electra back in 2020 after 500 km it gave me so much trouble and so much headache,had to sell it after 1 year. I'm never going to buy any Royal Enfield product in future nor I would recommend anyone to buy any Royal Enfield product.
a motorcycle made for hardcore off road needs a proper cradle chassis below the engine like the Himalayan 411. if the engine is taking all the load instead cradle frame then you need a solid beam under the tank, like the motocross bikes. in case of Himalayan 450, the beam under the tank is too weak . I think this is a serious design flaw and in the coming days and months this will be proved to be true. best of luck to Royal Enfield .
Very good analysis, I completely agree 👍
😢
My chasis has also broken 350 classic. And at same place other people are also facing the same issue, RE should fix it...
This is the main reason I opted for Triumph; RE just making business on emotions and brand loyalty. People should understand RE is a mediocre company, making business only on the basis of emotions; and these Triumph, KTM bikes are manufactured by Bajaj so INDIAN MANUFACTURING IS NOT AN ISSUE, RE is the issue.
Yes u have been saying this for ever. That guy sidharth lal has successfully embedded this thinking into our people that owning an RE makes you rich makes you royal makes you badass 😂 and the crazy part is people actually believe this
RE needs to up its game. I just bought a Honda CB 350 after wanting a Meteor 350 for a good part of a year. RE just doesn't match up to the competition. They are cheap bikes.
Same here brother proud owner of CB 350, went to buy bullet 350 but they had no tubeless tyre and they were least bothered to provide me with it and when i insisted they were charging me 17000rs, so i went to honda and bought CB350.
Good choice once u own an Re fir kabhi nahi loge
That's why I'm buying Honda hness 350 ,honda is honda no one can match honda quality, reliability, engine engineering ❤
me too just cancelled 450 order , going to buy cb350 dlx
@@ijharansari9800 very good move
Very good choice.
Go for HONDA HNESS. Clocked 45k kms no problems at all.Butter smooth bulletproof engine.. zero issues..i ride it fast most of the time but still its smooth till today
But adventure 😂
Until and unless People start to give importance to quality and stop going behind emotions. RE will not change . If any complaints happen we cannot fight against them in court.only thing we can do is to stop investing your hard earned money in Their products. Me too had several quality and reliability issues with My INT 650. If we say Any complaints they will say its common in all bikes. We indians as majority of the middle class and we always look for the best option available in our budget , fall into their advertisement gimmicks and their false heritage selling ads and we compromise on quality. Its because of Honda and Triumph they have at least tried something . Otherwise They still won't bring any improvement. It's high time. we should start giving importance to quality.
That's why I choose Triumph!!!😂😂😂
Wise customer always purchases RE after third batch!!!!🙂🙂🙂
Itna wise hona hi kyu hai ktm bmw triumph are already there....
Such an amazing video Bulu bhai ❤
Coneset issue plus frequently failing RR-Unit issue as well. I've ridden my INT650 for 25k kms and within this 3 RR-Units have failed and I'm currently running 4th RR-Unit.
First one failed at 5,000 kms
Second failed at 11,000 kms
Third failed at 23,000 kms
First two were replaced under warranty but third one failed after warranty was over hence I had to pay 2,400 rupees for the same.
I've got no electrical mods or anything additional installed on my bike ever and RE Service center could never comeup with a reason for this frequent failure.
Same as my interceptor 3rd time change re unit 30k km only than I sold my bike for this problem
What is rr unit ?
@@laxmikantgs7863 battery charger our battery dead hone ke baad he bike start ni hoti battery threw hi ignition system chalta h
@@laxmikantgs7863 Regulator Rectifier Unit - It basically converts AC current to DC current and passes it to the battery... If it fails then the battery won't get charged and eventually you'd end up with a dead battery.
Change the position of RR unit to somewhere where wind flows better, overheating is the main cause of RR failure in 650s.
Finally someone decided to speak the facts. Happy to have been following you from a long time
Thank God I bought the Triumph scrambler 400 x instead. Re hasn't even brought the much promised Tubeless tyres till now... It'll be almost 1 yr now since launch.
Yup most adv riders don't go off-roading, it's just a status thing, tubeless tyres and a scrambler is sufficient for most people who only do City rides and a few occasional highway rides.
Exactly, off roading is over hyped in India, we don't do extreme off road rides. But Tubeless is a life saver.
Exactly,,in the all photos, there wasn't any crash guards, it's RE &. Influencers assosiated with RE blaming after market crash guards!!!
Hey genius people could have removed the crash guard before taking the photo did you ever think of that? Besides person posting the photo says they used after market crash guard
@@Lessspeedmoreweedhey genius, crash guards are installed in numerous motorcycle over the world. Why only royal Enfield chassis fails then?😂😂😂

Bhai 390 ka tank crack ke baare me baat karo thoda. A rider almost lost his life, he couldn't fight with the brand and he gave with major burn injuries. I was one among the people whose tank got cracked within 1 year. Also the 390 Adv still has issues, you just may not have encountered those or you just don't want to talk.
By that logic companies will have to take responsibility of all accidents. Fire caused by an impact is way different than chasis breaking mid way. As an owner it's the riders responsibility to inspect the leakages before hitting long rides. My 390 ADVs metzelers developed cracks. KTM happily replaced those for free even after the warranty ended. However, I lost 3 months of my riding life because I was too cautious about using a bike with a possible hazard.
Kuch RE fans in sabko defend karte hai...I myself is Himalayan owner after 6k kms cone set problem handle jam and same problem with interceptor quality is never going to be improved in RE..
Believe it or not but something like this was expected. Because its a RE. 😂
Thank you for this much needed video.
The difference in booking experience is very evident when you go to a RE, KTM vs a brand like Honda. As you rightly said that we need to look at it as a machine and not with so much emotions that the brand might use against us.
I'd booked a Himalayan in December and had to cancel it later because the response from the salesman to all the issues pointed on the internet was "Its RE, what to do".
I feel RE should realize that they are no longer selling 1 lakh rupee Bullets and Classics alone. Only prices have increased, customer service behavior remains the same.
Pehla wala jo chassis tuta usme maanta hun ki aftermarket accessories ke wajah se tuta. Lekin dusre wala himalayan pe toh koi accessory laga hi nahi, wo kaise tuta? Uska excuse kya hai?
Quality mein kab dhyan dega ye company 😢😢 bakwas
Bought xpulse because I don't want broken chassis bike, I do jumps on sand and asphalt both and my xpulse is still intact. RE is stupid for giving subpar product to customer for high prices.
I(owned 2 RE bikes before) don't like RE, still I bought the Himalayan 450 and completed 9.5k kms with touring and offroad trails. will be pushing further.
definitely it's not a quality machine but it does the job.
now would I recommend it for longer run, NO.
would I recommend for temporary fun, definitely yes.
but I think this will be my final product from RE. finally getting tired of incomplete product quality.

Wow ye story publicly share hina chahiye! I'm sure there are many like you!
Honestly I am planning to bye 450 but after seeing all these video am not going to purchase RE
Adv 390 is better
Bajaj is best

RE has become the next KTM. Every chapri has a RE now. There are very less genuine buyers of RE right now.

bulu bhai, I am also a Himalayan 450 owner, I bought the bike in January this year and took it to Nepal in March, after that I also went to Chardham in June, the crash guard was installed the next day I bought the bike, 15 thousand plus kilometers. My bike is running, I haven't faced any problem yet
The problem is the design of the chassis for the big 21 inch wheels.
Cone set is a very annoying issue with RE bikes. Not just Himalayan , even other bikes like Interceptor/GT 650 are also plagued by the cone set issue.
Thank god I cancelled my 450 booking in time! 😮
I was thinking to buy Himalayan 450. but now i have changed my mind, because i fear for my life more than my bike, my mom and my fiancee will be waiting for me back at home. I will move to KTM ADV.

Even bulu isn’t accepting the habitual design flaw of RE and giving us classes on being fanatic 😂. Basically RE is a plumber brand, a wrench and aluminium pipe and make it sound patpatpat😎 suits RE best. Bulu ur obsessed with RE 😅
Re sirf nam se chalta he dekhe tho har chej me peche he compare to other brand me personally bullet 350 uske bat 500 classic ahvi interceptor chala raha hu iam not satisfied with RE😢
Most Indian brands suffer from design and manufacturing flaws. Take for example RE, Tata, Mahindra, Hero, TVS, Bajaj etc. Indian brands need to go a long way to compete with international foreign brands to match their superior quality and durability. That's why it's prudent to go for international renowned brands when it comes to automobiles which can give you peace of mind and long term reliability🫰🏽
I doubt the same about 4 wheeler in terms of build quality
@@RockyVlogss Tata and Mahindra provide excellent build quality. There's no doubting that. But they face many technical and mechanical glitches in which respect their competitor brands are far superior to them. Brands like Hyundai, Kia, VW, Škoda, Suzuki, Renault, Cïtroen etc. are have superior levels of durability and reliability when compared to these Indian brands.
@@RockyVlogss In terms of building reliable engines no one can match germans and japanese, and tata and mahindra are never successful with lmv engines.
Bulu ji, the reason to follow you is just because of your own actions.
Everywhere shouting has started. And here you are, aap aaram se relax hoke baithe ho, aaram se explain karte ho. Aapke baat me dum bhi hai.
Jab log yaha tata suzuki crash test ka bekar analysis bike ki chasis pe kar rahe hai aap clarity de rahe ho.
Maza aata hai aap jaise logon ko sunke. Best wishes, Bulu ji 🙏.
None of what he said made sense. Crash guards are made to endure hard crash or dragged in case of a fall or crash.
Now it act exactly as a crumple zone works in the car. It does not let the impact go to the side pillars of the cars structural design or where the whole weight rest upon.
If your chasis snap open without a reason mind you these bikes none of the two had a fall from a staggering height shows poor craftmenship and quality controls of RE mfgr unit.
If you bike falls from a significant height let say 6 to 8 feets we might expect that but here the chassis snapped open by rode.above a speed breaker which is outright stupid because its a purpose built bike and not a regular commuter.
It's shame that youtubers can not muster enough courage to call out something that is wrong and can potential cause fatal or imminent danger to the life of rider

Riding Mojo since 2016...done india ride twice on it...running on 4th set of tyres...🧿
I am also a proud mojo owner. Never faded such issues just fed-up with service and spare
The owner himself claimed that the chassis broke because of the aftermarket guard and missing bolt for engine guard.
And what about other cases , are disappearing bolts of CHASSIS a normal thing?
He will claim anything now. That's the condition the manufacturer might have put to cover it under warranty. The video was also asked to be taken down. Not the owners fault. I would have done the same. Not all are crusaders like Bullu Bhai 🙇
I know 3 cases of chasis break in UCE 350 bikes. Without any crash.
There may be more cases like this but we might not know about it. 2 cases we know because it is in social media.
When I test ride meteor 350 from showroom it had hauling soud from engine sometimes louder than exhaust that bike was only 14000 on odo. I drop the plan and bought Japanese machine. 😂

RE 350 ALWAYS HAD CRASH GUARDS B U T
350 BULLET NEVER EVER HAD CHASIS BROKEN. THINK.
Good points Bulu Bhai. In my own ownership experience, RE is BAD. It's overrated. Not worth the hard earned money spent. I will always spend more and get a KTM, Honda, Triumph, Yamaha, etc but not Royal Enfield.
Yes brother, its time for riders to understand n avoid RE because of their quality
Bulu bhai i was thinking of taking himalayan 450 but aapka video dekh kar its fixed NX500 IT WILL be have to wait till feb 2025
having a really bad experience with mahindra, same like RE they dont even put screws properly on my new car xuv300, regret after buying, no trust on mahindra anymore, and worst service

Bulu Bhai RE ki chassis ki pipe Quality bilkul hi bakvas he mujhe es liye pata hai ki me bhi pipe business ke sath juda huaa hu... 🤐😑😐
RE brand is a piece of crap the quality of bikes is poor the engine design is crappy. If compared with other brands it doesn't stand a chance and the overall pricing is high, if you take into consideration quality and performance. RE grew in popularity because there was no Indian brand in the 350 and above range to compete with them. RD 350 was phased out and the Ideal Jawa shut down due to mismanagement
This is the first time re is building a liquid cooled engine. So I would say people should wait atleast 2-3 years before buying this product after customer testing is concluded😂
I have Himalayan 411 in last 1.5 years replaced 3 conesets.
Quality, quality paramount importance
Anyday Go for triumph 400 if service is near by....

Golden period is over now. It's all abt money now.
I was initially planning to buy interceptor 650 back in 2021 then after test ride it came to my head that this bike will be an issue and went with my instinct and baught 2021 390adv and it’s been an absolute blast last 3yrs and 60km across India with no major issue and still enjoy to day an absolute fun machine. A big namaskaram to RE and their test team ,
The him450 is new to the market and barely anybody has done 10k km till now but my gutt feeling says once buyers munch more miles on the him450 they will definitely witness far more major issues which can be dangerous as bullu bhai said it’s too early to say but 6months to an year down the line we will see more such issues.Hopefully RE takes this issue seriously in time.
That's why spend some extra money and buy a quality product..... Don't get trapped under marketing gimmicks...
You can even save money with honda ktm and triumph.
I owned a RE Thunderbird 500 - August 2013 model - an unreliable bike to say the least. Was never confident of riding the bike even for short distances. Got rid of it in January 2023 and opted for the Honda H’ness CB 350 DLX PRO version. This is now my go to vehicle - it is a pleasure to ride. Reliability and ride quality are heavens apart when compared to the Thunderbird 500. Overall a better bike by miles.
SEE YOU CANT JUDGE A BRAND ON BEHALF OF SOME 1 OR 2 VIDEOS .
A few bikes after any new bike launch will have issues - it’s expected.
NONE of bike manufacturers , even the best and biggest, will NOT have 100% quality !
Few bikes will always report some or other issue.

Mr. Pattnaik, I'm one of your big fans; but this kind of videos are not accepted from you at all. I just don't understand why you are trying to defend Royal Enfield for this serious life killing issue! Breaking of chassis of a motorcycle and that of in a running condition is a damn serious issue at any point of time. So, definitely there is a serious fault on the part of the Company. A customer has the right to install accessories along with crash-guards on his/her motorcycle, but that doesn't mean that it's the reason for the chassis break. Why does a customer install a crash-guard? For the purpose of safety mainly. Because RE doesn't provide same or any other accessory with their motorcycle in such cheaper price. So, customers don't have any other choice left than to buy aftermarket crash-guards and/or accessories to save their own lives. A life is more precious than a motorcycle, whether it's a costly one or economic. With this they need to save their motorcycle too. Because mostly people do have a single motorcycle and they do purchase that with their hard-earned money to fulfill their dream of having a good motorcycle. Everyone doesn't have two or three motorcycles or more than that like you or any other celebrity rider. So, they will definitely opt for crash-guards mainly. Rather, breaking of chassis is not a new problem in RE motorcycles. You also know that. Then why are you defending their crime? Yes, crime. RE is doing crime by providing substandard and poor quality material in their products. An amount of Rs. 3 Lakh or 4 Lakh is not a too little amount, but yes; obviously in comparison with other international motorcycle brands RE's products are little bit cheaper. But who told RE to produce cheaper products? Why doesn't RE take some more money or make some less profit to provide better quality products? If RE needs take Rs. 15K to 20K more for providing better quality raw materials, etc. then why it's not walking on that way? Who stops RE from doing that? Nobody, just nobody. But no, Mr. Siddharth Lal wants to make money by risking his customers.
You too have several motorcycles. You also have installed several aftermarket accessories, crash-guards, etc. on your costly motorcycles, your many riders friends have also done same on their costly flagship motorcycles, like BMW, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Triumph, etc. How many of you have faced such a problem by installing aftermarket crash-guards or accessories? Then why it happens with RE motorcycles only? So, it's a clear thing that RE products are not up to the mark.
Therefore, my dear friend, you, being an influencer, create pressure on RE to produce good quality products instead of defending it. Don't be a spokesman of RE, stand in favour of general customers, who are facing such tremendous life killing threats from RE products for year after years.
RE has not made you Bulu Pattnaik, the celebrity rider; we are the people for whom you have become Bulu Pattnaik.
Thank you.
U r coming to pune triumph show this month
RE is worst brand. i was riding 200ns from 2014, 200ns never gave me a problem it smooth and fast balanced bike then 2022 I decided to change my bike then i bought RE meteor what a pathetic bike. i sold it within 7month..
1. back pain you can't stand on it
2. 3 suspension leaked at same time 70km ride only
3. you can't fill full tank, caniter can be damage
4. non balanced bike
5. heating issue, my 2 shoes burnt from silencer
highly unreliable bike people should go for honda Hness
ETC
now I own adventure 390 - Near to perfect bike :D
Eagerly waiting for Xpulse 400, I was excited for HIMA450 but disappointed. I expected these feedbacks after learning about old HIM. Chassis breakdown even in 2 or more than 2 is not acceptable. Chassis hi to backbone hai.
I feel ypur opinion is biased , you are safeguarding your interest of sponsorship same what RE is doing to safeguard their sales. I bought SM650 and more than 200 people confirm in my city only that is has issues with chain sprocket( because we have group specially for super meteor 650), but still no action on this. So no one cares about the consumer neither gov, brands nor you.
Shouldn't company branded accessories be part of the warranty? All accessories for the Speed 400 from the company are covered under Triumph warranty.
If you talk against / criticized RE, your video will be removed by a strike. That's all. 🤷🏻♂️
I really didn't expect this issue on new RE 450, which is currently my Dream Adv. Bike.
Hope RE will pause the current manufacturing, find out what's wrong and implement it accordingly in upcoming batches.
Despite of all this, I will still choose Himalayan 450 because I belive in RE, but if this things happen often & RE isn't taking strong steps taking this constructive criticism, Then I might have to reconsider my decision 😐 👎🏼
RE has paid reviewers putting videos of the chassis snapping coz of the engine guard. Such a pathetic move by the company. And reviewers like Abhinav Bhatt is also promoting the same reason is such a stupid thing.
Abhinav bhatt, bhaya what do you expect from him when RE has given him the media bike for FREE and paying for modifications? Will he speak anything negative about it? People are fools to follow such RUclipsrs.
Also if you notice all the media channels posting the exact same kind of explanation in different languages.
In layman terms they are all paid clowns
I wrote the same thing in Avinabs channel and looks like he blocked me
Bulu bhai today you won my trust again .
you are not like other dumb biased youtubers or say wannabe automobile reviewers who dont have knowledge and time to test the product , starts promoting a automobile on which users life rely by .
Btw RE k quality and userbase k negativity k kaaran yezdi scrambler le liya , now i dont like riding it in city and mostly ride access 125 for comfort , bike has became sunday or night ride thing and still not that great for me .
Planning to buy next bike for long run , for city ride cb300r and speed 400 has been in my list .
But i do love riding rough (not vfast) even in city and have plans for cross country rides but i am not liking any product in market neither satisfied with yezdi scrambler .
If i had budget , i would have bought tiger or something in that category 😢 but they are out of budget .
I think Royal Enfield produce 2 quality type of Bikes.
1. For Export quality in Europe, Australia and USA
2. For India and Asia
I have seen a video of a USA motorcyclw enthuasist where he ans his buddy test 2 motorcycles on a real adventure terrain and theae 2 guys literally did extensive offroading and real life testing of these 2 bikes. It was a hail of a testing.
The 2 bikes in the video are -
1. Himalayan 411
2. A Chinese Adventure bike (I am unable to recall the bike name at this moment)
The surprise part is both of them agreed that Himalayan is a far better option than the chinese counter part.
When watching the video I was thinking may be this time the Himalayan broke into several parts.. 😂😂😂 But surprisingly it was stand like a stalion.
What I have realised that if it is an Indian version it definitely broke into pieces. 😂😂😂
Hero ka x pulse lo sahi hai kam se kam quality issue to nahi hoga 😂😂😂 I only liked re as a classic bike they should have upgraded to a racing bike long ago but have stuck with classic . And people are getting emotional over nothing .
I bought a Suzuki Gixxer in 2015 April and it has lot of issues like tank rusted 3 times even after getting it replaced in warranty and the Magneto coil still leaks oil despite changing the gasket and coil too, even exhaust has been replaced as well and I had the panels plastic chipping and it as also replaced in warranty but there is no issue right now except for the corrosion in tank and the Magneto coil leakage also in October 2015 I had to replace it's rear shock absorber cause it was leaking badly and it lost its compression, anyways I had Honda stunner and in the 4yrs of ownership never had such issues, but times have change Honda is also not the same anymore these days, also no brand is perfect every brand will have some lemon out of production once in blue moon
Reality is that even if you are the buyer of the first batch of motorcycle, you should not face any issues even with the bolt. That is real justice from the band for the money you pay. RE’s behaviour of making the first buyers as Guinea pigs for their experiments is very disappointing. Why should public be responsible for the bad quality produced my the brand??! Sad… this is where they lose customer base..
Think. Just think. What if, due to accessories people broke, instead of your bike, people fail to see , hear due to the accessories you fit on your bike. Remind you of those bright white lights, those loud and sweet exhausts, horns etc...
Just think. Are you going to cancel your , items, accessories you want to install forget your plans.????😂
RE quality is very bad. I will never buy one again & never recommend anyone to buy. People might say they have improved over the years. But I feel the seemingly so called improvement that has come is not due to the willingness of RE but the competition has forced RE to do so. And yet they offer poor quality compared to the competitors. They are simply not innovative enough; innovation that was expected from a company that boast to have survived 100 years. I owned RE for 5 years. It was Electra 5S and I was at the garage every 15 days for something or the other. Two worst experience; once I was riding my kid to school and was approaching a junction & the rear break paddle was missing. It had fallen 10-15 meter behind. Another instance was the battery burst under my seat while idling at a traffic signal. That was the day, i decided to do away with RE for every.
