Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 vs Zontes GK350 Comparison

The best part about the Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 is its attractive design and flamboyant colours. As an affordable factory custom bobber, this is one motorcycle which makes a compelling case. As a second bike, or as a motorcycle for short rides around town, and to make a style statement, the Goan Classic 350 is a very good option, and is an appealing motorcycle. The riding position and ergonomics though doesn’t make for a very comfortable motorcycle for long hours in the saddle. And the slightly bouncy ride quality, at the rear, which makes you feel all the bumps and road potholes up your tailbone, makes for a not-so-comfortable motorcycle if you intend to do more than short blasts around town. 

The Zontes GK350 is a neo-retro motorcycle in the 300 cc segment and it definitely looks the part, with a round LED headlight and one-of-a-kind design. The motorcycle feels well-finished and gets a decent set of features as well. It is a little heavier than we would have liked but the performance is par for the course. At an asking price of Rs. 3.37 lakh, you might want to factor in the limited reach of sales and service outlets, given than Zontes operates under Adishwar Auto Ride’s Moto Vault brand.
