All the reviews are happy ones and none seemed to be dissatisfied with their awesome bullet rental. “A week-long trip in Kashmir and made even more memorable by the fact that we took out an Enfield for rent from Basharat. He was extremely helpful and very friendly. He took the effort to give us a neat little itinerary and tips on the places to visit and things to do. I suppose we wouldn't have covered half the places we did if it were not for him.

The bikes were top notch and very well maintained. We had the luck of getting ourselves a brand new 350 Classic. If anyone gets to Kashmir, I would highly recommend visiting Kashmir Bikes and picking up a bike. He offers RE - Classic (350/500), Electra, Thunderbird, 200cc bikes and scooters as well.”- as commented by Ashwin Rajan, a happy customer.
