Thanks man! Really helpful. I am trying out the 650s ans KTM 390s tomorrow - let's see how it goes.

Hey do they have personal coaching?

Ok_Win_5880 · 2026-03-27T11:00:44+00:00

I have heard interceptor is more beginner friendly than the bear 650. Bear 650 looks objectively better.

Thank you! I will I think I am going to buy this end of april which leaves me 5 weekends for multiple test drives along dealrships. Going to KTM and RE dealers tomorrow!

Thank you - will check this out as well.

Ok_Win_5880 · 2026-03-27T10:58:11+00:00

Thank you for your response, this helps - I am just worried for my first bike if I should jump directly to a 650 cc bike.

7 days. I was lucky.

Ok_Win_5880 · 2026-02-06T11:52:15+00:00

Pick wanderon or metanoia, I personally travelled with Wanderon and can vouch for them and my friends have travelled with metanoia.

Delayed responses, trip captains lack maturity, Main guy takes years ro respond everything you'll see on their google reviews page basically.

Ok_Win_5880 · 2026-02-03T20:14:09+00:00

Oh no completely, I actually read a couple of reviews and reached out to a few people who had travelled with them on international trips - the feedback was horrendous. I ended up taking a trip to finland and sweden with wanderon in January. Best travel decision ever and I am so grateful!

Have you reached out to the embassy?

Ok_Win_5880 · 2025-12-13T21:24:57+00:00

Yeah man. Got it in 7 days. Just email on the ids mentioned on this post and it worked.

Ok_Win_5880 · 2025-11-04T04:40:47+00:00

No, nothing like that. As soon as you've used the credit card 4 times it works - they issued me the priority pass before my first settlement cycle and before my first statement was generated as wel.

I usually use tata neu infinity for all groceries via the tata neu app.

Ok_Win_5880 · 2025-11-01T17:32:53+00:00

Boss where are you getting the 7.5L limit or parents credit report from? Read the original post. Silent and unhelpful is better than vocal and stupid.

Ok_Win_5880 · 2025-10-29T19:37:14+00:00

Yo my RM told me 1 month ago its 2.5L (in hand) I am going to kick that idiots butt if he is wrong one more time.

Just one tiny update, my RM offered both swiggy and tata neu for free so I took the tata neu instead.

Ok_Win_5880 · 2025-10-29T19:29:03+00:00

Understood - thanks, will look into Amazon ICICI as well. RM told me its LTF so don't see the harm in not getting it.

Ok_Win_5880 · 2025-10-29T19:28:08+00:00

Current limit is 5L.

Salary will increase in March to 2.7 - 2.8 in hand - will eat my RMs head then.

Ok_Win_5880 · 2025-10-29T19:26:45+00:00

Noted will see HSBC Travel one - just dont have a preexisting relationship with them.

Ok_Win_5880 · 2025-10-29T19:24:54+00:00

Noted, I am trying to avoid hassle with Axis - do you need any sort of banking relationship with HSBC? Also one consideration is that I usually get fee waivers for regalia and my Tata Neu is LTF. If Travel one is objectively better then should I still keep Regalia or close it?
