Royal Enfield Bullet 350 vs Aprilia SXR 160 Comparison

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.”
 

Best as:

• Daily commuter for mature riders.
• Relaxed weekend tourer
• Long-term heirloom purchase with high resale value.

Not ideal as:

• Primary high-speed touring vehicle
• Tech-heavy purchase for gadget enthusiasts.
• Fuel-cost sensitive commuter

The Aprilia SXR 160 brings the aspirational maxi-styling in a relatively achievable package to the masses. It offers a European style to the buyers which is paired to a punchy engine with enough performance to keep you content. It has good road presence and loads of pracality owing to a lot of storage spaces. But the pinch point is that Aprilia doesn’t have a wide dealership and after sales support network in India which might prove to be an issue for a lot of customers, especially those that don’t reside in urban areas.
