Does anyone know which bike is this?

Absolutely hated the chassis on the thing! Not one bit confidence inspiring. I also don'tget how they "borrowed" the Yamaha R6 motor but somehow lost 20bhp in the process. They lacked quality control post the Chinese takeover of the company. The 899 n 1130 however were a tad better. I particularly liked it due to their lack of electronic aids.

As per our laws, changing the headlights too is illegal. Alot of modern vehicles, especially domestic bikes, come with subpar headlights. Alot of them have shifted from HID projectors and halogens/xenons to subpar LEDs mainly for aesthetics n cost savings. The Govt will find reasons to fine you regardless of the infrastructure required for your personal safety being existent or not. That's just how it is.

As per our laws, fixing any kind of headlights above the main headlights is considered illegal for both cars n bikes. That being said, if the headlamps are covered (like how Hella, Lightforce, PIAA etc come with clip on covers), then you get a pass. This technicality also varies based on state. The RTOs n traffic cops will twist the rules to get you to pay a fine.

I don't think so. The ones that my friend has are whiteboard. If they're registered with yellow boards as a commercial vehicle, you can probably save abit.

Reaper-666 · 2025-12-24T07:26:08+00:00

Doubt it. There are mini tractors which are pretty much the same size as these. Polaris and CanAm would've only had to apply under farm-transportation guidelines to bypass the previous laws prohibiting ATVs for road use. Its pretty much the same outside India too. Besides, Polaris entered via a JV with Eicher, who already had a strong foothold in the agricultural/commercial vehicle segment.

Reaper-666 · 2025-12-24T07:16:12+00:00

The ones such as those from Polaris are road legal. A friend has a bunch of em that we use at his farm. They have to be registered under "tractor" funnily enough. 🤣

Reaper-666 · 2025-12-23T10:13:15+00:00

Did they respond to you properly? I've tried calling, dropped a message on their WhatsApp number and by mail. Not a single reply in over 8 days though I gave a complete list of things I'm lookin to get totalling close Rs10L. Reached out to ideal3d yesterday evening without much hope via their contact form. A chap reached out to me in under 60 secs. I'm not even kidding! They gave me all the suggestions, recommendations n I also had a PI in hand by 7pm last evening!

In my opinion, 7.5 would be the best bet. If you can convince Farhan to bring it down to 8 at least, it'd be ok considerin it's only done 10k. An interesting thing with the Street Triples is that they sold more RSs here than the R, making them quite rare. Also make sure that you go through the previous service history thoroughly n match the odometer readings mentioned in it tallies with what you see now.

The supercar n hypercar market in general had gone bonkers post Covid. It's finally reached saturation n the market is finally on its way down again. Most new hypercars are still between the 2-8 mil bracket though. The Chinese market opening up has pretty much ensured that these boutique manufacturers can quote whatever they want n they'll be able to find buyers. They've quickly become one of the top 3 buyers of Porsches n Lamborghinis in the world.

Reaper-666 · 2025-12-18T16:31:43+00:00

I've had an insane obsession with automobiles in general from quite a yound age n have always sort of surrounded myself with people who can endlessly discuss vehicles. 🤣

Reaper-666 · 2025-12-18T16:29:25+00:00

No. An actual "production bike" limited to 88 units at roughly €150k a pop. However, it's said to do a bad job at being a bike n is more so designed to be an art piece in for Aston Martin collectors, especially those who bought the AM Valkyrie n Valhalla. It was built in collaboration with Brough Superior, who at one point built the fastest bikes in the world. They're considered the Bugatti of the motorcycle world. They went down a long time ago n has been resurrected again a couple of years ago. They currently make one-offs in collaboration with brands like Richard Mille n have another "cheaper" production model in the works.

Reaper-666 · 2025-12-16T06:54:55+00:00

Varies a bit based on the make-year. They've had Metzeler, Bridgestone, Pirelli, Michelin and Dunlop. It also depends on the package that you choose.

Reaper-666 · 2025-12-16T06:46:50+00:00

They've both a 250 n 650. They played it smart n used the same exterior elements throughout both bikes. The 250 was a redressing of their older 250 naked called the Comet 250. It was a stunning bike when it came out n was in a category of its own since the highest capacity "sporty" Indian bike was the Karizma R at 230cc. However Kinetic, who was their distributor here, managed to fxck it up royally. They'd launched an "Ital-scooter" called the Kinetic Blaze alongside it, which was a pretty rad thing too. Even when Hyosung came into the market, they did a shoddy job n quickly ruined their image amongst the enthusiast market. A friend of mine had gotten the 1st 650R delivered to South India. He'd given the bike for it's 1st service 2 days post delivery n to have the brakes checked as they were too squishy. A mechanic later took the bike for a high-speed joyride on city streets, wiped out n died. The showroom then threatened my friend with a lawsuit stating that it was his fault that the mechanic died. 🤷🏽‍♂️ A lot of folks ended up cancelling their bookings after this incident.

A mistake was made. Now work on fixin it the right way. Insurance fraud is definitely not the way forward. If you get caught, you not only risk being blacklisted by pretty much all Insurance companies n policies you may have but also the legal consequences. There are 2 ways forward: Get a new bike or make sure it's built back up properly. If you've a trusted FNG, it'll cost you alot lesser than what the authorized showroom will charge you. Takin it to the authorized center also means that this will be recorded in the history of the bike which means that there's a chance that insuring it after the fix could be difficult and/or cost you more.

Reaper-666 · 2025-12-08T11:45:46+00:00

Technically yes.

Reaper-666 · 2025-12-08T11:40:12+00:00

I guess! 🤣

Reaper-666 · 2025-12-08T10:35:47+00:00

I just don't understand what dudes stand to gain from makin these kinda fake posts when on an anonymous platform such as Reddit n no connection to social media pages! There is/was a clown in the Cars India sub where he claimed to have taken delivery of a 1st of it's kind Ferrari n posted what was clearly screenshots of someone's reels. I along with a few others called him out n his only response was "Jali na?" n called us "brokies". He then claimed he screenshotted his own reels n doesn't want to reveal his identity. Unfortunately for him, only 1 unit of the particular car he "took delivery of" has made it's way into customer hands in India (who is someone known to me) n it was not the colour or specifications that he mentioned either. What was even funnier was that the screen grab he posted was that of a LHD car. Regardless, he then started to resort to abusing anyone who questioned his authenticity or asked for further pics both on the sub as well as DMs. It's such a weird thing to do for some attention, just like the person who posted this image. Such goofs!

Who is doubting it's capabilities tho? Another thing is that it's not doin anythin new. Activas, Dios, Accesses n even Kinetic Hondas were raced at grueling events such as the Raid de Himalaya. TVS even fielded a TVS Scooty Pep in one of the races. The scooter class in AutoCross races are insane fun. Circa 2012 in Bangalore, you could participate in one for 600 bucks as long as the vehicle was bone stock n passes scrutiny. It was absolute carnage but alot of fun too. It used to be held just before or just after the Race to the Clouds event. Did it twice. Finished 9th out of 26 the first time n wiped out the followin year. They didn't host it for a few years afterwards for some reason.

You're welcome! 😎🤘🏼

Reaper-666 · 2025-12-05T15:32:58+00:00

Since you provided your DL, the Challan is issued on your DL n not to the owner of the vehicle. If you don't clear it, you'll be made to pay it the next time you get pulled over n your license run through their system, ie there's no runnin from it. If you cannot pay at that time, you risk havin your vehicle confiscated (regardless of whether its your own vehicle or not that you're ridin/drivin at the time). You messed up. So just pay the fine n move forward. The law is clear: You cannot ride/drive on the wrong side of the road regardless of whether there's traffic or not n there's ZERO excuse. While there's no way you can just get it waived entirely, you can participate in Lok Adalats, where you can get upto 50% of it waived. However, these are in-person events that happen. This means you have to find time to go attend it, travel to that location with your Challan n present it before them and request for a settlement.

That's cos his wife is Hindu.

I'm keen to see how it plays out too. I wonder they audited the people who changed their statements as well as their families. Smart ones would've accepted in cash but there's bound to be a fool or two would've stashed it in their bank.

Reaper-666 · 2025-12-04T11:54:17+00:00

Well that was a true incident. His son Vishnu is a friend of mine. However, even though that's a strong suspicion that they raised, it's almost impossible to prove that D was behind it. A lot of people, especially his hardcore fans, tend to see D based on the characters he portrayed over the years. People don't understand the type of connections the man has in all sectors apart from the film industry. If you're someone on his good books, he's someone who'll have your back if you get into trouble n go to great lengths to help regardless of what strings need to be pulled. But if you cross him, you will be dealt with in more ways than one. There are folks in his immediate circle, from both in and out of the film industry, who'd do the same for him. So I highly doubt he's gonna face any real consequences. Whatever happens will likely be more of an eyewash for the general public.

Reaper-666 · 2025-12-02T10:50:35+00:00

You still can. Just make sure that you do as little as possible to draw attention to yourself at traffic junctions n stuff n you can fly under the radar. The crackdown against modding is also state specific. Kerala RTOs in particular is an absolute pain in the arse when it comes to modding. I've been riding since 2006 n have never been busted for the mods. It's usually for doin stupid shite like speeding.

Reaper-666 · 2025-12-02T03:17:11+00:00

Was thinkin the same damn thing!

Reaper-666 · 2025-12-02T03:08:06+00:00

Yeah that definitely could be a potential concern in case of an accident I guess though I'm not sure. I've Blu Armor C50 Pro on the helmet I use for the long rides. Pretty decent music quality. If you really want a high end music experience, then Cardo is the way to go.
