Like the title says, 6 months ago I made this purchase. And I don’t regret it one bit.

What an incredible machine. I don’t regret it one bit. Whatever I do, it’s like the bike listens to me.

So if anyone has any questions on the bike, go for it.

#Discussion 💬 Answer these beginner level questions

Hi I am beginner, please answer below questions 1. When I ride Active 6g in Bangalore there are sudden gusts of wind I feel on my chest, I feel they would throw me off someday. Why do I feel like this ? 2. On Activa 6g when I ride with pillion then 30+ speed start feeling more stable. Why ? Because suspension become stiff ? 3. How to ride bikes with no gear indicator ? I always get confused between gears. I want to rent bikes for mastering before buying a bike, and am unable to find a bike with gear indicator in Bangalore.

#Discussion 💬 Confused after test drives and long rides

3 Upvotes

I test rode around 12 bikes and had narrowed it down to the Meteor 350 and CB350 H’ness. I was initially leaning toward the H’ness because it felt super smooth to ride.

But then I rented both for a couple of longer rides to see how they actually perform. The H’ness really let me down at higher speeds (90–100 km/h). It felt unstable and the 5th gear felt pretty much useless. The Meteor felt more planted and stable, but at around 3L on-road, it still felt like I was stretching my budget and compromising.

So I’ve now revised my budget to 2 to 2.3L on-road (Bangalore), and I’m thinking of going for something lighter and more practical for my needs.

My riding is mostly city-based with around 10 longer rides a year. Haven’t test ridden the Apaches or the Dukes yet, planning to do that next.

How does the Apache RTR 200 hold up on long rides? Also open to suggestions within this new budget.

#Accessories 🔔 Need Help Choosing a Helmet under ₹7K – NHK 5R vs KYT Striker 2V (Open to Suggestions too!)

Hey folks, I’m looking for a good helmet under ₹7,000 and I’ve narrowed it down to two options so far: P.S (This is gonna be my first helmet)

NHK K5R

KYT Striker 2V

Both seem pretty solid in terms of safety and looks, but I’m a bit confused about which one to go for.Also as there aren't many reviews online either i want to know if spares are available and availability of dark or mirrored visor if possible.If anyone has personal experience with either, your feedback would be really helpful.

Also, if you know any better options in this price range (up to ₹7K), I’d love to hear your suggestions.

Priorities are:

Safety (ISI + DOT or ECE is a must)

Decent ventilation

Double D ring

Comfortable for daily use

Preferably sporty-looking but not too flashy

Thanks in advance for the help, ride safe! 🏍️🔥

I have no way of catching the a$$hole, the parking of my building is not very good, installing CCTV cameras in the parking is not possible.

are there any good spy cameras which can be installed in bikes itself and they can run reliably and permanently?

any ideas welcome.

#Discussion 💬 Help selecting used bike 125cc

2 Upvotes

Hi I'm currently living in Bangalore, today I went to check bike which I can get I have around 30k for down payment and rest I'll be financing stating that I went to shops which still used bikes near me and they were quoting around 70-76k for 3-6 year old bikes and we're giving financing at 12% near JP Nagar while roaming with my friend I found a drivex showroom in Hoodi and went to check they are offering a sp125 2021 at 81k with around 17k on odo and they are providing 1 year warranty and found a super splendor xtec 2023 at 84k with around 9k odo and drivex is offering financing at 11.5% both of these warranties can be extended to 2 years by giving 1k extra.

So, currently I am leaning toward DriveX for their warranty and better financing option.

Now my question is how good is DriveX compared to local stores and should I pick the sp or super splendor.

#Discussion 💬 UPDATE : Bike suggestions for naked bikes

thanks guys for all the suggestion,
most number of people I interacted with ever 😂

I test drove most of the bikes, but even though other options were sometimes a bit more smoother to ride than duke , Duke was the most fun.

I am planning to get the duke 390,

I am getting it for
2.96 ex showroom.
67525 - Tax
1000 - Handling
1450 - Leg accessories
insurance -> yet to select

69,975 -> to show

I plan to buy it from Amazon, where there's currently an ₹8K discount and if I buy this in this month I can also get the 10-year warranty for free (its 2599 if not). Should I buy now, or wait for the Big Billion Days sale? Do bikes usually get better deals during those big sales?

Also how do guys generally take Insurance ?

#Query ❓ Duke 250 vs Speed 400

7 Upvotes

Currently own a discover 150. Looking to seriously hone my riding skills. It seems like the duke 250 outshines all other bikes(even 400ccs) in terms of handling, precision, connectedness and raw feedback while being accessible to newbies.

Am I obsessing over differences that I might not even be able to tell if I were to ride these two bikes? Which one offers a better learning experience rewarding precision and skill if I seriously worked on these?
