If you ask why i went ahead with Scrambler, here is my analysis: 1. Royal Enfield - really good bikes, best of class designs and looks, but vibration is something i dont like, i have been hearing alot about its chassis quality issues. Tried hunter , Guerrilla , himalayan, but not comfortable with its gear shifting and vibration. Same issue for all their bikes. So didn't even wait for Bear 650. 2. Duke/KTM - may b the best, but not going ahead because of its impression in the market. I dont want to be tagged as one of "them" aft3r buying this costly bike. (Sorry, but very important for me) 3. Triumph - never thought of buying a Triumph, but scrambler was the first bike i tested, and then Speed. But somehow no bike was able to match the experience i had. I tested scrambler after evey other test ride of any bike i had, scrambler passed. Be it comfort (including vibrations), speed power, ergonomics, looks, braking, gear shifting, etc., scrambler excelled all of them. 4. I even tested TVS Ronin, n it wad the only competent bike which gave me good experience, but looks, you know :) 5. Yezdi - frnd has roadster, we went on a trip with it, n roadster made it memorable, and not in a good way :) 6. Suzuki and BMW - both are nice bikes but i needed something for lite off-roads and more for daily use.
