Pros & cons of Mavrick 440 after a test ride: Why I didn’t book it?

Feel the Royal Enfield bikes offer a premium handlebar feel.

BHPian MDED recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Test rode the bike today at a Bangalore dealership. My views:

Pros:

1. The engine is really good.
2. Bassy thump will be loved
3. Hero’s reliable ASS and reach

Cons:

1. Mediocre quality of plastics on a ₹2 lakh plus bike
2. The LHS switch was covered with stickers. Don’t know what went wrong?
3. Weird mirror positions
4. Handlebar feels of yesteryear’s. RE bikes offer a premium handlebar feel.
5. Ugly-looking wire appearing from topside on RHS of the handlebar

Notwithstanding the lovely engine, I have decided against booking the bike because of the cons listed above.
