Man magnet: Is this the most handsome bike in India?

THOSE TWIN parking lights that look like jet engines of Messerschmitt Me 262, that calligraphy on the sides where it says 'Goan Classic', those whitewall tyres, and those raised handlebars... if all this isn't art on wheels, what is?
VIKRAM CHAUDHARY

Over a week of riding this new Royal Enfield, and turning people's heads even in Delhi's dense fog, I realised it's possibly the most handsome motorcycle in India – pure man magnet. But handsome is as handsome does. How does it ride?

What's the Goan Classic?

Powered by the 349cc J-platform engine (27 Nm torque; 20.2 bhp power) – also seen on the Bullet, Classic 350 and Meteor 350 – the Goan Classic is a reimagination of the Classic 350, but design-wise it's got a whole new personality, and looks built ground-up.

The name is inspired by Goa and its culture of relaxed riding, where Royal Enfield organises its annual fest called the Motoverse (previously called the Rider Mania).

How's the design
