Rider Feedback
- On Reddit (r/indianbikes):
“Both are the exact same bikes man. Only differences are purely aesthetic…” - On r/motorcycles:
“Changes that differentiate this from Classic 350: …100 mm taller Mini ape handlebars … lower seat height … removable rear seat … Tubeless cross stitch spoked wheels with white wall tyres.” - A user perspective:
“I honestly love the laid back approach of the Goan classic…took a short spin and feel its more true to the real enfield spirit.” - Some criticism includes the lack of “true” bobber base and unconventional proportions .
