I did Track day with my TVS Ronin Why this Bike is better than Hunter 350 and CB350 (Read Caption)

So Guys i bought TVS ronin 1 month ago and took it to first track day and honestlt this bike impressed me

Looks like retro bike but peforms like Decent sports bike

Power To Weight Ratio is much better in Ronin

Also 158 KG with metal body is insane

CB 350 and Hunter 350 weight 182 KG

Literally 24 KG weight difference

Despite high Gound clearance among 3 cornering is still better in Ronin

Thanks to its low weight and decent power

About Drag Race

Ronin beats Hunter 350 easily no chance

CB 350RS gives tough competiton in Top End but still not only 2-3 KM/H speed difference

But in city acceleration matters most so Ronin is winner

Also you get 2 riding modes and digital speedometer

meanwhile CB 350 and Hunter 350 which is more expensive gets no riding modes and analog speedometer

Body weight matters alot in drag race

My weight is 68-70 KG thats why easily it can go 130+

I did 135-136 KM/H Top speed in this bike which is good for retro bike

I know most people will say "Its not a racing bike"

I know its not racing bikes even ronin isn't a sports bike

But still despite 225cc this bike is cooking Royal Enfield 350cc bikes and giving tough competiton on CB 350

Honestly Ronin deserve more love i am glad that i choose this bike for city commute

Exhaust sound is also lovable to hear

IDK why people buy Royal enfield

I can understand for Honda due to reliability but who buys RE 350 CC in big 2026 ??

When you get better options

Note-No hate to RE i used to have standard 350 kick one :)

Will the Ronin be too heavy for me (57 kg)? Buying my first bike as a beginner.

Buying my first bike soon. I'm 5'7" 57 kg male. For practice I have borrowed my neighbors Splendor (110kg) for a week. Been practicing some drills like U turns and riding with a pilion for ~ 5km low traffic stretches. Handled it well so far but with pilion - starts and low speed L turns had few balancing issues (not dropped it yet, rarely stalled). Will have this bike for 3 more days.

My current options after shortlisting- Honda Hornet 125 (124 kg, smaller turning radius but can't completely flat foot) or Ronin 225 base model (can flatfoot but 159 kg and large turning radius).

So would the Ronin be a good buy for a 57kg beginner or should I stick to the lighter 125 Hornet with a smaller turning radius?

Long Touring Kit 2025 model

Got the long touring kit with saddle stay and top rack with backrest installed today
Feel like the backrest could have been bigger as it may feel small for chubbier people but it still is quite comfortable and sturdy

TVS ronin or Honda CB350 RS

I’m 23, 5’10, 85 kgs, working in Gurgaon, and looking to buy my first proper bike mainly for city use/office commute (90% city riding, Gurgaon traffic, occasional pillion too).
I was almost fully fixated on the TVS Ronin after multiple test rides. Loved how nimble, easy and effortless it felt in traffic. Also the lower running/service costs and ~₹50-60k lower price compared to the Honda CB350RS make a lot of sense to me.

But after speaking to multiple TVS showrooms in Gurgaon, I found out mid/top variants of the Ronin are barely available right now (not considering base because single-channel ABS). Looks like production/supply has reduced, so I may have to wait 1-2 months.

Meanwhile, I test rode the CB350RS again and honestly the engine, clutch feel and refinement feel amazing. It feels like a more premium and complete bike overall.

Only issue:

CB350RS feels less nimble/agile in traffic
Tall gearing might become annoying in bumper-to-bumper Gurgaon traffic

So now I’m confused:
Wait 1-2 months for Ronin?
Or get CB350RS delivery in 10 days and move on?

People who’ve used either bike majorly in city traffic, what would you honestly suggest ?

6months and 2 time gas welding

The part which has indicatory and number is attached to this metal part by a welded part below this.

In 6 Months that part broke twice, I have to weld it and now the colour of the bike faded because of welding, it's also catching rust.

What should i do now, should i cover it with black taping or go for paint

Been looking for a seat cover for my 2025 model Ronin.I kinda liked the H'ness seat and old Model Ronin seat.So found similar from flipkart.4 star Rating was there,but no reviews.Ordered 2 days before and reached today.

There is little cushion/Sponge on the rider side...pillion side its just cover,nothing much...Good fit.Can easily install from home.
