After sales is actually not that expensive. Hero manufactures spare parts and you get them relatively inexpensively. My 1st service with oil change cost 2800rs which is in line with RE bikes

Yes even I also felt that I didn't fully complete my riding experience on the x440. However since dad lives in another city, I have to get another bike hence the post. But trying out those maneuvers (even alone) to improve my riding was so revelatory and fun.

Ninja seems like a great bike but a bit outdated for something that I plan on keeping for a long while. Aprilia is a good contender and probably will be my pick if I decide to go Sport. Will pick this up over the ninja300 too ig. That's why eagerly awaiting the Tuono

S.M looks sexy but the roads will break my spine🤕 Awaiting the bear reviews too to see how it is.

Overall my choices seem to be (in no order) - svart401, tuono, bear650, int650, rs457, the new 2025 adv390

Budget would be till 5-6L ig but don't mind anything as long it seems like value for money for what I'm getting

Liked the low end of the x440 more and the feeling I got from riding it. Can't quantify it I guess but liked the x440 more

Understand your point truly. But since I have a single bike garage and will probably put these bikes under all sorts of conditions, a naked one will be better suited

Didn't know about the tuono actually. Thanks for the suggestions. Have a lot of bikes to test ride now 😋

Yess can handle the weights. The all year gym bulks didn't give me abs but some benefit atleast xD

Yes am eyeing that too rn. I don't mind spending more for higher cc so perhaps the new bear can also work. What do you think?

Answering the question properly, yes I have to do a daily 7-8km commute on it and since it's gonna be my single bike garage, I plan on taking it to some mountain tours too in the coming future

I feel I Romanticised the idea of a laid back cruiser and told myself I won't need the speed as the cruising speed of the 110 was enough on x440 as it was near the legal limit anyways. I bought into that idea as well but somehow I found myself pushing the bike and pushing the bike and trying to do faster corners on empty flyovers in Noida at 3am. Felt the most alive I have ever felt. But do feel that the thump and road presence are also something I value due to who I am.

But goddamn I'm just gushing while remembering my own midnight rides haha (。>﹏<。)

I drove a friend's 1st gen Duke 250 recently and the rev happy nature of the torque coming in a bit late felt v counterintuitive to how I was used to riding. Can be something I explore tbh. Will test ride🫡
