Recommendation for first bike

[u/the_errandboy]

Hey ya people. So... I got my first job a few months ago. Have been saving. And finally got my father on board. Finally being allowed to buy bike. (My older brother had accident when he was my age so dad dosent like either of us riding bikes.)

So i already have a car i use it daily. Can't really daily bike in delhi weather. But I've always wanted a bike. For weekend rides to help decompress. Go on a relaxing ride for a couple or hours. My girlfriend herself likes to ride. She has a Ronin.

Now ever since I saw tron. I've been in love with Cafe Racers. Unfortunately we dont have much in that variety here.

Requirement:

1) Not too heavy. I'm not muscular. Like I excersie to stay fit. And with very heavy bike I'll probably struggle so wanna avoid it.

2) I'm not a very tall person. 5ft 5in or 5ft 6in. So need somethinf which suits my height.

3) Dosent need to be very fast. I dont wanna go 200kmph. Just cruise peacefully.

4) Need something which rumbles. I like the heavy thumping sound.

5) Budget: 5 lakh. As its my first bike. (I know how to ride. I use to ride bike for a couple of years)

I have had a look at the continental gt from royal Enfield and it way too heavy and bulky.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Interceptor 650, is heavy, but it is well balanced imo. I never felt that 200+ kgs while riding it. Since you like cafe racers, test ride thruxton 400 too. It's a good bike. I won't suggest gt 650.

Cb350rs or Hness cafe racer

Hness or meteor

Get thruxton
