The price difference is marginal but the motorcycles are poles apart. The Scram 440 is more of an all rounder here. It can go touring, off-roading and can be used daily. The Mavrick 440 is more of a retro-roadster and an excellent daily commuter. That said, it too can do almost anything you ask it to. 

Both Royal Enfield and Hero have one of the highest sales figures and also have an extensive service network throughout the country. This makes both of these motorcycles quite easy to own.

If you want a bold looking all rounder then the Scram 440 will be a great choice for the price. But if you want a slick and slightly compact highway-tourer and/or commuter then the Mavrick will make a lot more sense.
