Mid-capacity cruiser motorcycles offer a smooth, comfortable ride, and thanks to GST 2.0 reductions, the 350cc segment is now a more attractive choice this festive season
By Divyam Dubey

Cruiser motorcycles have always had a special place among Indian riders. When it comes to stretching the legs on long highway rides or planning that dream trip to Ladakh, few bikes can match the comfort and practicality of a cruiser. They’re built for those relaxed weekend getaways and offer a smoother riding experience compared to sportier machines. While popular adventure bikes like the Royal Enfield Himalayan and KTM 390 Adventure have experienced significant price hikes, mid-capacity cruisers have seen notable price drops, making them an attractive alternative to their larger, more adventurous counterparts.

With the festive season around the corner, many enthusiasts are already eyeing their next upgrade. If you’re planning to bring home a bike that blends comfort with practicality, the 350cc segment has plenty of promising options to look at. Having that said, here are some bikes to consider.
The Yezdi Roadster stands out for its 28.7bhp motor and lively character. It works well for commuters who want extra punch and for riders planning a light weekend escape. Retro styling adds charm, but the bike also feels practical and modern, with enough strength to handle traffic, open roads, and short trips outside town with equal comfort.
Royal Enfield’s Classic 350 continues to be a familiar option for riders who like an old-school feel. Its 20.2bhp engine delivers an easy beat that suits calm city stretches or gentle weekend trips.

The seating is upright, the controls are simple, and the pace is relaxed, making the Classic a steady partner for people who enjoy an unhurried ride.
Jawa’s 350 blends traditional looks with present-day reliability. Its 22bhp engine is smooth through city traffic and comfortable on open stretches, giving a sense of quiet freedom.

The bike’s size and calm power make it suitable for daily use, yet it also encourages relaxed rides when there is time to leave the city behind.
Sharing the same 20.2bhp engine as the classic, the Meteor 350 offers a more modern touch while keeping Royal Enfield’s relaxed character. A low seat and smooth power delivery make it comfortable on longer runs, whether across a quiet highway or during slow evening rides.

It gives riders an easy way to cover distance without demanding much effort on the road.
Honda CB350 brings Japanese precision to this group of mid-capacity classics. The 20.7bhp engine runs gently and offers steady pull, making everyday journeys simple.

It stays stable at higher speeds too, giving an even ride over longer distances. With clean styling and easy controls, it fits riders seeking a balance of comfort, style, and daily usability.
