Indian Chieftain Dark Horse vs Royal Enfield Bullet 350 Comparison

The Indian Chieftain Dark Horse is a highly capable, comfortable and entertaining big cruiser which nails the cruiser look to a T. It's a comfortable bagger to cover long distances on straight roads, with possibly a sweeping curve or few. The only downisdes are the heat from the engine, particularly in the Indian summer, the weight and the price.

For us, the Royal Enfield Bullet 350 remains one of the most honest motorcycles on sale today. If you want a machine that rewards you for slowing down, this icon still makes sense. As Preetam summarises, “Overall, the bullet has improved so much... it will still appeal to you if you're a bullet fan. So go ahead, take a test ride—this could be just the best bullet ever to be made.”
