    Harley-Davidson Forty Eight Reviews

    Good for long rides

    I have been riding the HD Forty-Eight for a few months now and till date, I have not faced a single issue from this motorcycle. The overall comfort is simply amazing as you feel connected with the motorcycle at all times during the ride. The 1200cc engine has a nice thump to it and delivers an insane amount of power which allows you to unleash the true potential of this bike on open roads. The braking setup is also astounding as it enables you to establish a good amount of control on the bike while riding. The ergonomics of this motorcycle are such that you will never want to stop exploring new destinations with the Forty-Eight.

    Attractive design but sober performance

    The Forty-Eight is by no means an average-looking motorcycle. Harley Davidson has put in some serious work while designing the Forty-Eight because it looks very attractive and has an appealing design that will make even the most experienced motorcyclists opt for this beauty. The only problem I see with the design is the short handlebar with underslung rear-view mirrors which looks a little weird in my opinion. In terms of performance, there is still room for improvement as the power delivery and gearshifts could be better and more refined.

    This guitar is the equivalent of a solid body electric guitar for me

    Well, as a musician please pardon my metaphor but I think this motorcycle is like a solid piece of an automobile. There are not many gaps and spaces in the body and I love it to death. I had to play many shows around the country for me to finally afford this motorcycle but my god it's a motorcycle and a half. The 1200cc engine is magnificent and you can cruise till the end of your life on this motorcycle and feel more comfortable than heaven. I cannot begin to tell you the happiness and satisfaction that I find from this motorcycle. I do have a slight issue though. The near about 8 litre fuel tank feels too small for this motorcycle and I have to refuel constantly so that is kind of annoying sometimes.

    Royal Enfield Meteor Reviews

    Bike that is going to stun with its exquisite riding capacity

    For the last few years I have been riding on this bike on a day to day basis. Now I guess I am in a position to share my views with others. I find its overall riding quality to be more than just being impressive. In fact, whenever I plan for long haul trips on this, I opt for this bike leaving my other bikes. Reason is I get the best sort of comfort out of this. The bike readily offers all required range of accessories. The model also offers decent mileage. It’s after sales service is pretty good. My love for highway riding has availed a new dimension since I have opted for this bike.

    Unique bike that is equipped with quality equipment

    Finally I could grab hold of a bike that I did not find any reason to hesitate while buying. This is exactly the kind I have been looking for. This exclusive bike looks mind blowing with its big windscreen, dual colored paint, pillion backrest and tan seats. I must appreciate Royal Enfield for such awesome craftsmanship. This bike looks cool from every angle. The switchgear looks brilliant and I find it very convenient to use. Even the chrome mirrors have enhanced the look of this bike to a great extent. Not only the parts of this bike look stunning but are of decent quality.

    Replacement of the Classic Range

    Finally, the Royal Enfield 350 has been launched in the Philippine market and that successfully replaced the old classic range of Royal Enfield. I, being the proud owner of this motorcycle, is a fan of its classic styling and bullet-proof engine that makes it a strong competitor in the classic bike segment. Personally, the bare-bone construction of this bike is the main attraction that also features some modern features which makes it a classic motorcycle. I love the classic styling of this bike and I am in love with my classic purchase of the Royal Enfield Meteor 350.
