Buying a 350cc bike this Diwali? 5 options from ₹1.38 lakh, with mileage up to 40 km/l

Diwali temptation

Planning to bring home a powerful 350cc motorcycle this Diwali without spending a fortune? India's motorcycle market has several options starting at ₹1.38 lakh. From Royal Enfield's retro machines to Honda's refined roadster and Bajaj's performance-focused Pulsar, these five bikes offer different combinations of power, style and mileage. But the cheapest option comes with an interesting surprise.

Honda challenge

The Honda CB350C enters the 350cc battle at a listed price of ₹1.98 lakh. Its 348.36cc air-cooled engine produces 20.7 hp and 29.4 Nm of torque, with a reported mileage of around 40 km/litre. For riders who want classic styling without compromising on everyday usability, Honda presents an interesting alternative to Royal Enfield's popular motorcycles.

Power shock

The Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z is the most powerful motorcycle on this list, despite its listed price of ₹1.90 lakh. Its 349.13cc engine produces 40 PS and 33 Nm of torque, significantly more power than the other bikes featured here. However, its reported mileage of 30–35 km/litre raises an important question for buyers: Is extra performance worth the higher fuel consumption?

Retro rivalry

Royal Enfield's Classic 350 and Bullet 350 share more than their iconic styling. Both feature a 349cc J-series engine producing 20.21 bhp and 27 Nm of torque, with reported mileage of 35–40 km/litre. Yet their listed prices differ considerably. The Classic 350 costs ₹1.89 lakh, while the Bullet 350 starts at ₹1.67 lakh, making the choice between two familiar names more interesting.

Budget bombshell

The biggest price surprise comes from the Royal Enfield Hunter 350, listed at just ₹1.38 lakh. It uses the same 349cc J-series engine as the Bullet 350, producing 20.21 bhp and 27 Nm of torque. Weighing 177 kg and offering reported mileage of around 40 km/litre, the Hunter combines familiar Royal Enfield performance with the lowest listed price among these five motorcycles.
