RE Electra 350 or Classic 350 ???

[RoyalSainiSaheb]

First of all My greetings to all the Bulletzade here...Long live RE, Long Live Bullet Lovers
Well today I heard about this website on YouTube while searching in-depth reviews about RE.
The thing is I'm in love with this Beauty since the first time i saw it. I never thought of any other bike than RE. That Dugg Dugg, that pride, that Tashan is all that I always wanted.
So the day came when I am going to book a beast for me. But now the real confusion occurred. I'm totally confused between the Classic 350 & Electra TS 350 for a comfortable ride.
So need advice for this from my experienced big brothers available here. Just few points to keep in mind-

1. My height is 5.11 & weight is 92kg.
2. I've back pain also. (Suggestions on this also considering the vibrations on RE.)
3. My cummute shall be 15-20km daily. (Including office & evening hangouts with friends).
4. Around 250kms in two or three months with wife. (To my in-laws)
4. Once in a year long trip.
P.S. PLS SUGGEST ON THE BASIS OF RIDING COMFORT, MAINTENANCE etc.

If you're into touring then i seriously suggest you go for 500. 350cc doesn't have the power. Comfort is your priority then TB is a best choice.

You said it there u have back pain so keep in mind singel spring loaded seat can make it worst so go for electra or as suggested by @Royal Racer buy 500cc for long distance touring B500 is the best bet has singel long seat and good pulling power.

Thanks #Royal Racer for the reply. I'm not into touring that much. Just one long ride in a year that's all. Mostly my usage well be in city only.
And the thing I personally don't like TB.

@IJS Sir I thought may be classic is more comfortable as it has double springs. One as usual in the chasis and one beneath rider Seat.
Moreover I really don't think that much power of 500cc is required in daily cummute. That's why decided to go for 350cc.

Electra is more comfortable as per my personal experience and also i have seen guys fittimg electra seat on classic due to lower back pain issue.

Ohh. So better to go with stock Electra rather than going for C350 for looks and then changing its split seats to single one.

I suggest dont make decision on our words as what is comfortable for me might not be the same for u just go to ur nearest showroom and have a extensive td on both the bikes on good and rough roads and decide what suits u best. Classic is any day looks more tempting and chestnut shade is selling like hot cake.
And as per my experience re guys are happy to give tds.
So choose wisely. See which bikes ergonomics suits u best.
